What is Leadership-in-Community?
In this episode, Lee and Andrew discuss how traditional leadership concepts and paradigms can no longer support the weight of the leadership necessary for today’s organizations. In a highly globalized world that changes more quickly than any one leader can keep up with, it will require team collaboration to make sense of the shared task and lead together toward the common mission. Also, missions can no longer be construed as a special calling on certain people. Every follower of Christ is called to be a missionary. So, what does missional leadership for a new generation, and indeed a new world, look like.

Excursus: The Light Dawns Upon Us
With Andrew out this week, Lee discusses his reflections on Isaiah 60 and the theme throughout the biblical story of the glory of the Lord dawning upon his people. From Abraham and the temple in Jerusalem, to Jesus and his disciples at Pentecost, the people of God are a light to the nations upon whom the glory of God dawns as an alternative “body politic” that attracts the world to Jesus and blesses the world by reflecting his mercy, justice, and love. This excursus will set us up to discuss spiritual formation as the basis for missional leadership next time.
