Leadership Issues
May 28th, 2009 Posted in Church Planting, LeadershipI help host a churchplanter network where pastors and churchplanters can get some coaching and learning opportunities. Recently we were fortunate to hear from Dr. Steve Echols, dean and Hub director for New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I was fortunate to have him for a couple of classes at the end of my seminary education and he offers so much practical insight on leadership issues. I am going to post a series of leadership posts based on his presentation in May to our Church planter network.
1. Character is always transferable but context is not.
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
As a leader:
- How is your devotional life?
- Do you embrace accountability or avoid it?
- Do you treat everyone as special or rather as a means to your goals?
- Are you eager or timid in sharing about Jesus?
