    * Why is it important for the church to change?
    * So many church members are resistant to change. Why is this and are there particular types of people who are especially resistant?
    * What is an “eager coalition” and why is it so important for a leader?

    * How can a leader build one?


    * What do you do with people who just won’t change?
    * Why is prayer so important in leading change?

    * What kinds of habits can a leader develop to have a healthy prayer life?

  • 5LQ Episode 109: Leaders and Stewardship –
    In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast Todd Adkins and Barnabas Piper sit down with radio host and Ramsey Solutions personality, Chris Brown, to talk about the importance of stewardship for leaders.

    * People think of “stewardship” in terms of money and frugality, but what is a broader definition?

    * What is the difference between being a good steward and being fiscally responsible or being a good manager of resources?


    * How does stewardship counteract greed?
    * Why must a leader be a good steward? What impact does it make on their organization?
    * What are key areas of life which a leader must steward well, both personally and organizationally?
    * How can a leader most effectively communicate stewardship principles and practices in an organization?

    “It’s not stewardship if you just do it for your benefit.”

    “Everything is the Lord’s. If we’re not the owner then we’re the manager.

    “The world’s way of handling money is entitlement. God’s way is rooted in contentment and gratitude.”

  • 5LQ Episode 107: Personal and Professional Boundaries –
    In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions Podcast Todd Adkins and Barnabas Piper sit down with Kevin Spratt to talk about boundaries in the work place and what do if they are crossed. How far is too far relationally between co-workers? What is appropriate in the workplace? How can boss maintain authority while also being friends with team members? How can people maintain a home and work life balance. All of these take boundaries. They discuss the following five areas.

    * Work/Home
    * Boss/employee
    * Co-worker personal relationships
    * Co-worker business interactions
    * Spiritual/Professional

    BEST QUOTES
    “When life is ministry and ministry is work it’s hard to set good boundaries.”

    “Physical boundaries can be helpful for work and home life balance.”

    “I delineate work boundaries in chunks of time.”

    “Environment dictates the nature of relationship.”

    “Trust and healthy conflict really help on all fronts.”

    “Boundaries can’t exist unless there’s trust.”

    “Barring a 9-1-1 situation it is never a fair expectation by a boss to think an employee will respond outside of work hours.”

    “When everything is a priority nothing a priority.”

    “If you get too deep in the friend zone as a boss your team won’t take you seriously.”

    “Leaders have to have hidden vulnerability so that everyone else in the organization can feel stronger and thrive.”

    “There is such a thing as sharing too little. Your personal issues do come through at work.”

    “Everything runs together, everything affects the other in life.”

    “Boundaries are not hard and fast; they are so relationally dependent.”

    “Boundaries are very elastic things.”

    “Know different people’s work styles.”

    “When a boundary is crossed you address it immediately.”

    “Work is worship if done rightly.”

    “You’ve got to love everybody, but you’re going to like some people more.”
