Leadership Snapshot 10.18.18

Here is your weekly Leadership Snapshot. These blogs are great resources for you. Don’t forget to check out Right Now Media for more great leadership development.

Spiritual growth is essential in leadership development. Remember, we should typically operate out of the overflow and excess, not the reserves of our spiritual life. This blog is a good practical help for those night times in bed pondering the difficulties of leadership and life.

We help lead in the greatest collective group of people in the world, the Church. But, sometimes we get disheartened by the struggles of leading people. This is a fresh reminder about the beautiful mess that Christ died for a calls His own.

Thom Rainer offers leaders a beautiful picture of what a healthy leader exhibits. These traits can really help us to discover where we are as leaders. I pray these 7 traits over you!

Tripp ends the blog with, “We need to encourage people to have kingdom awareness, to be disciples of Jesus with surrendered hearts, giving everything to the greater purpose of the King of Kings. Without this surrender, without the transforming power, the rest of our hopes for discipleship simply will not take place.”

Stetzer draws on an important value for Christian Leaders in this blog. In fact, I believe this will determine whether we promote direction based discipleship or destination based discipleship. Our hope is Heaven! 

 

I hope you have a great weekend, and I look forward to seeing you Sunday. You can find more leadership snapshots in the future at lead.discoverWBC.com Grace and peace, Matt



Leadership Snapshot: 10.4.18

Leaders at WBC, I want to equip you well. Here are a few blog resources for you that I found helpful this week. Thanks for serving at Westminster Baptist Church. I am praying for you.

Identity of Leaders: This article, by Mark Jobe, engages the heart of a leader in the regrets and discouragements of leading. The most impactful statement in the article to me is, “Pour generously into hungry leaders that will chase the vision with you.” The article is a great way for us to prepare for discipling others.

https://leadership.lifeway.com/2018/10/03/mentoring-and-the-story-of-elijah/ Leading Volunteers:

This is a powerful article. This statement is right on when it comes to healthy leadership, “One of the primary roles of any church is not simply to minister to people, but it is to equip everyone in the church to minister to others.” If you do everything yourself, you are a volunteer, not a leader.
 
 
Church Health: In this article, Paul Alexander of 9marks gives us 10 misnomers of church discipline with 10 correction from scripture.
