Leadership thoughts


“Leadership is stewardship. It is temporary and you’re accountable.” Andy Stanley

This is a statement that is heard during the intro of the Catalyst Podcast. It is a statement that rings terror in my heart as a follower of Christ and Christian leader.

I highly recommend the Catalyst Podcast - you can subscribe on iTunes by typing in Catalyst Podcast in the search window on the iTunes Store site. If you’re in leadership of any sort - youth ministry, children’s ministry, your own business, as an employee, whatever - you need to listen to this podcast!

It is serious business to lead others - where are we leading them? How are we leading them? What are they catching from our example? Do we lead them as Christ would if He were physically in our shoes? (By the way, the Slovak phrase for that is, “in our skin?”). Are we leading them with Christ’s motives or do we have our own hidden agendas (fame, power, influence, etc.)?

I want to influence people by the power of Christ & His Spirit in me to expand His Kingdom & influence and love for them.
