Leadership Essentials by Greg Ogden,Daniel Meyer Pdf

Leadership is essential. Maybe you've shied away from leadership because you don't know what it will involve, or you feel too unsure of your own abilities. But your leadership is needed! In every sector of society, from families to businesses to churches, leadership roles remain empty, waiting for people willing and able to step up and make wise decisions that bring positive change. And, in a world with priorities vastly different from Christ's, Christian leaders are especially needed to point people to him. Preparation is essential. As essential as the leadership itself is the preparation beforehand, which is why Greg Ogden, a seasoned leader himself, has created this interactive guide that will give you the tools you need to lead well, using your unique gifts and experience. Divided into four sections, this workbook will help you develop character, postures, vision and skills as you participate in the following elements in each chapter: a memory verse a Bible study a reading a leadership exercise By working through these multiple channels of learning you'll be equipped not just with head knowledge about leadership but with true character formation and awareness of your own abilities that will prepare you for the challenges and choices of leadership. Designed to work well on your own, with a partner or with a group, Leadership Essentials by Greg Ogden and Daniel Meyer is the essential preparation tool for those who would be led and shaped by Christ to lead others with strength and wisdom.

Basic Christian Leadership by John Stott Pdf

Leadership today is no easy task. Too often our models of leadership are shaped more by culture than by Christ. John Stott rejects popular models of leadership and holds up instead the servant leadership exemplified by Paul in his ministry to the church in Corinth. Stott reassures us that God is at work even in the midst of human weakness.

Christian Leadership by John Stott Pdf

The most influential leader in the early church was undoubtedly the apostle Paul. He never lost the vision of God's single new humanity—Jews and Gentiles together. And in his letters we watch him exercising his leadership skills among the early Christians. This nine-session LifeGuide® Bible Study by John Stott is based on his book Basic Christian Leadership and covers the first four chapters of 1 Corinthians, in which Paul responds to a complex church situation and to questions the Corinthians have addressed to him. He does so with clarity, wisdom, humility, love and gentleness—qualities that we can learn from as leaders today. For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies.

The Leadership Trifecta by Joseph Welock Pdf

America is a spiritual battlefield. We are up against a powerful enemy. As Christians, we are constantly under attack, and it is of paramount importance that each of us learn how to battle this determined and capable adversary. What is at stake, you ask? The lives of our children, our families, our nation. Satan's number one goal is to keep all non-Christians from accepting the truth of Jesus Christ. He is a relentless warrior, and he is constantly on the prowl for those he can destroy. Throughout my life experiences, I have come to identify many parallels between the military, the parables in the Bible, and the athletic gridiron. All three are battlefields in their own right, and all three provide examples that can help us succeed in spiritual battle. Our personal legacy hangs on the decisions we make every day. But more importantly, the number of souls that end up in heaven depends on how we live our lives and the example that we set. To put it in military terms, it is time for Christians to "stand in the gap." We must be the ones who rise up and run toward the battle. We must be prepared and poised to react and respond when we identify a spiritual assault. No matter what mission we are tasked with, we must be the few, the proud, the elite warriors that will fearlessly sprint toward the chaos that has infiltrated our society. I have incorporated stories, event, and life lessons that stem from my personal life, my experiences as a US Marine, as well as my twenty-two-year coaching career. I looked to connect them to biblical teachings. My goal was to create an "essential knowledge blueprint" so that readers could refer to and draw from when they identify a spiritual attack. I want to help Christian leaders prepare for the battle, counterattack, and be the victor that I know you can be. I challenge you, as a Christian leader, to be courageous. Make the tough decision to lead every day. We are all imperfect. We are all sinners. But with God's, help we can be victors! The time is now. Be bold, step up, and be the leader that God knows you can be.

Leadership in Christian Perspective by Justin A. Irving,Mark L. Strauss Pdf

This book brings the best of leadership theory and research together with biblical reflection and examples of leadership in action to offer a practical guide to Christian leaders. Combining expertise in leadership studies and biblical studies, Justin Irving and Mark Strauss explore how leadership models have moved from autocratic and paternalistic leader-centered models toward an increased focus on followers. The authors show how contemporary theories such as transformational leadership, authentic leadership, and servant leadership take an important step toward prioritizing and empowering followers who work with leaders to accomplish organizational goals. Irving and Strauss organize their book around "nine empowering practices," making it accessible to students, church leaders, and business leaders. Integrating solid research in leadership studies with biblical and theological reflection on the leadership ideas that are most compatible with Christian faith, this book is an important resource for all Christian students of leadership.

Understanding Christian Leadership by Ian Parkinson Pdf

Understanding Christian Leadership offers an examination of a distinctly Christian understanding of leadership offering a critical appraisal of insights from secular theories of leadership, exploring biblical and other theological insights into the nature and practice of leadership. Whilst arguing for a form of leadership which is widely dispersed and collaborative, the book seeks to explain the distinctive role of leaders within such a leadership economy. It also seeks to establish a proper relationship between sacred and secular leadership thinking, tackling some of the common philosophical and theological reservations to do with leadership discourse, whilst offering a critical framework for discerning the suitability for the Church of different sources of leadership thinking. Designed as core reading for leadership modules currently taught by the author across a large number of training contexts in the UK, this book is an indispensable text for those taking undergraduate or postgraduate-level qualifications in Christian leadership as well as those in other less formal leadership training contexts. Foreword by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
