Biblical Leadership

Many times, leadership has been completely contrary to what the Bible teaches. Many leaders are focused on what they can get from their positions of authority rather than on what they can give to the works in which they are involved. While some view it as a tool for popularity and power, leadership is a privilege. Leadership requires responsibility. We need biblical leaders who are people of integrity and humility - leaders who are willing to be different.

Leadership in Christian Perspective brings the best of leadership theory and research together with biblical reflection and examples of leadership in action. Organized around "nine empowering practices," it integrates solid research in leadership studies with biblical and theological reflection on the leadership ideas that are most compatible with Christian faith, making it an important resource for professors and students in leadership and pastoral theology courses, pastors and church leaders, and Christian business leaders.

The Making of a Biblical Leader explores the essentials of spiritually guided leadership, both in character and in practice, for those seeking to grow in their ability to lead with wisdom and integrity. With contributions from ten trusted ministry leaders grounded firmly in Scripture, this inspiring and practical resource will help you identify the biblical markers of godly leadership; successfully navigate difficult leadership situations; build long-lasting relational bridges; embrace the transformative power of suffering; and more!

The apostle Barnabas may be one of the most overlooked and yet most influential leaders of the New Testament. His impact on the church began with a simple gift to feed hungry believers, then grew into much more.

He mentored Paul and later Mark, and pioneered the first missionary outreach of the early church.

Your opportunity to stay in ministry and be effective is in direct proportion to several significant attitudes and actions. I am sure this list is not exhaustive but does reflect what we have observed. In writing this book we are not setting ourselves up as any sort of experts in ministry. In fact quite the opposite. Much of what we share here are lessons we've learned from our own mistakes. After 40+ years of local ministry each, we wanted to reveal a few things that we have observed and experienced that have helped us and others to have any degree of effectiveness.

Whether you’re running a business, managing a team, or clocking in every morning, the workplace can be a challenging space. And for Christians, there’s an added layer: How do we honor God while striving for success? How do we balance ambition with humility? What does it really mean to be a Christian in the workplace?
