  • Principle #11

    Welcome to today's episode!

    Brent is diving in the last principle in the "Experiential" group, Principle #11.

    Principle #11 - Leaders are built through fire.

    Jesus loved his disciples enough that he was willing to use hard things to do a deeper work in their lives. Sometimes building means breaking.

  • Principle #10

    In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principle #10, another principle that falls under the "Experiential" group.

    Principle #10 - Challenging assignments stretch and mature the emerging leader.

    The key about challenging assignments is this: challenge factor should not be too high nor too low, but just enough to stretch people to cause new growth. Experiential challenges are long-term and deep teachers, they stick with people!

  • Principle #9

    Welcome to Season 2, Episode 9 of the Burst Leadership podcast.

    In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principle #9, the first principle in the "Experiential" group.

    Principle #9 - Leaders learn by doing.

    In order to really learn something well, we as human beings have to experience it. Jesus built leaders “on the job” where they dealt with real problems and opportunities and faced real consequences. Therefore, we must balance “classroom” instruction time with practical “in the field” “hands on” ministry.

  • Principle #8

    Join Brent today as he explores the last principle in the "Relational" group, Principle #8.

    Principle #8 - We must build the right ones!

    Our process focuses on a few, so they must be the right ones. Choosing the right people to build into will determine your outcome as much as anything. We are not just looking for nice Christians, we should be looking for good thinkers and people of action!

  • Principle #7

    In today's episode, Brent shares the next principle of healthy leader development in the "Relational" group.

    Principle #7 - Leaders are built a few at a time.

    Since leaders personally build leaders, one leader can build only a few other leaders – if he wants to do it properly.

  • Principle #6

    In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principle #6, another principle that falls under the "Relational" group.

    Principle #6 - Leaders who build leaders should themselves be involved in the daily responsibilities of leadership.

    Leaders should not teach in an artificial environment removed from the real world. Jesus and Paul (e.g., Acts 19:9-11) both conducted extensive and fruitful personal ministries while concurrently building new leaders. This practice maintains integrity and reality, brings credibility and empathy, and dramatically increases effectiveness.

  • Principle #5

    Join Brent today as he explains the next principle in the "Relational" group.

    Principle #5 - Leaders Build Leaders

    By themselves teachers and courses don’t build leaders. It takes a leader to impart the vision, passion, courage and strategic perspectives of leadership. Therefore, we should not seek the perfect “package” that will work “all-by-itself.” Packages don’t build leaders; leaders build leaders.

  • Principle #4

    Today Brent is sharing the key principle from the "Relational" group.

    Principle #4 - Leaders Are Built in Community

    Therefore, the entire local church community must take responsibility for and actively participate in building leaders.
    Moving from the disconnected “factory” approach to the “family” approach. Jesus didn't just choose 1 or 2 disciples or a school of 5,000, he chose a small community because He know the relational community had power to shape and to be used by God his Father in the nurturing and transformation of lives.

  • Principles #2 and #3

    This is episode 2 of Season 2 of the Burst Leadership podcast. 

    In today's episode, Brent will be focusing on Principles #2 and #3, the two main principles that fall under the "Spiritual" group.

    Principle #2 - Ultimately, God is The One That Builds Leaders

    We must never allow our agenda to prevent Him from accomplishing His.

    Principle #3 - Prayer Must Saturate Leadership Development

    Jesus consistently prayed for, with and over His emerging leaders. Moreover, Jesus revealed the Father to His disciples; they saw God, heard His voice and touched Him (1 John 1:1-3)! Our primary responsibility in building new leaders is to see that they know God – we must teach them to pray!
