Podcast

The Leadership-in-Community podcast educates and equips Christian leaders with the missiology, community, and ethics of missional leadership. It serves as a spiritual formation resource to develop Christian leaders with the knowledge, practices, and models to lead diverse teams of people. The underlying belief of leadership-in-community is that our missional team members are created and redeemed in the image of God with the purpose of fulfilling the calling of Jesus Christ to expand the good reign of his Kingdom in their local and global contexts.

In his classic novel Les Miserables, Victor Hugo tells of Jean Valjean, a former criminal hardened from serving 19 years in prison for simply stealing bread in his poverty. 

The complexity of today’s world requires global leadership across multiple segments including politics, business, economics, religion, and society.

Adaptivity is the necessary quality of organizational cultures that achieve long-term performance.

Leadership for Missions

It’s amazing how different kinds of plants can survive in vastly different environments. Some require soft, fertile soil. But others have adapted to some of the harshest environments. Take the giant sequoias. They thrive in high elevation in only one location on planet earth. These massive trees grow to an average height of 50-85 meters, and they only grow between elevations of 1,400 to 2,000 meters. Yet they are among the oldest living organisms on the earth (the oldest is approximately 3,200 years old). What is the secret to their success?
