  • Eucharistic Leadership Whispercast: Taken- Episode 29

    Take a moment to listen to the latest episode of the City as Playground Podcast. 

    Is leadership simply possessed by the luck of the draw, or is it a gift that each of us have the ability of cultivating? In this Whispercast, Rick and Dave—using the Taken movement of Eucharistic leadership—explore how viewing leadership as a gift rather than a possession changes how one leads. This sets up our next full length podcast where Rick, Dave, and their guest (Larry Lloyd, President of Memphis Leadership Foundation and LF Vice President of Network Impact) will dive more into the idea of being Taken as a leader.
