Biblical characters like Moses and Joshua offer concrete models for developing leadership and virtue. Read Scripture as practical truth, not just story, and match your goals to these figures to learn how to embody the qualities you want.

In the biblical narrative, the stories that are laid out in the scriptures are actually great descriptors of archetypes we can live out. For example, leadership. Moses is a fantastic archetype or a fantastic image of how we gain leadership, and once we acquire it, how we should act, you know, and what manner should we go about Our leadership position, and because Moses was willing to listen to the burning bush enlightenment, he was willing to listen to the Spirit of God, because of that he was able to lead the Israelites out of a tyrannical state, the Egyptians, and bring them to the Promised Land, although it wasn't him because he fell in the midst of that. That shows the human nature to go against the Spirit of God, but in a way he helped lead the Israelites to the Promised Land, and so the biblical stories should be looked at not just because they are great stories, but because they hold great truths that we ought to live out. So the next time you read the Word, try to find someone in the Scripture who embodies what you are aiming for. If you're aiming to be a leader, read Moses, read Joshua, read leaders, right? If you're aiming to be loving and caring, read characters in the Bible who show that archetype. And obviously Christ is the practically the perfect embodiment of all positive values. But read the Bible because it would teach you something you need to learn.
