ReCentering My Leadership Role

Get ready to lead with passion and true influence by focusing on what really matters: people, character, and the understanding that individuals always come before programs. Real leadership is all about authenticity, not manipulation or self-serving agendas. It's about building genuine relationships, not just advancing personal goals. Authentic leaders thrive on diverse perspectives and welcome constructive challenges and disagreements—they don't just surround themselves with yes-men!

If you're eager to embrace genuine leadership and influence, dive into the four Gospels and engage in lively discussions about them with a trusted friend. Toss aside those marketing books, church growth manuals, and borrowed strategies that don't fit your unique context.

In environments where leadership overlooks prayer, pastoral care, and meaningful engagement with Scripture in favor of formulaic approaches, it only leads to a cycle of ineffectiveness masked by short-term results.

When leaders choose personal comfort over setting an example of sacrificial service, they fall into the trap of thinking their own plans are synonymous with God's will. I urge you to break free from the allure of superficial adventures and embark on the thrilling journey of life together, embracing both its challenges and joys.

Once you've immersed yourself in the Gospels and Scripture with your peers, explore thought-provoking resources that challenge conventional leadership ideas. Check out Seth Godin's "Top 100" blog for fresh insights, and discover the simple yet powerful tools like Cadre's "Disciplemaking Genius of Jesus" and "Getaway like Jesus" for leadership and disciplemaking modeled after Christ.

If your leadership path seems to require putting loving neighbors and Disciplemaking friendships on hold, it's time to rethink your direction.

Let's all dive into: God’s Word. Prayerfulness. Holy Spirit Clarity. Peer Community listening and true dialogue.
