What is Christian ‘leadership’ and what does it look like to live a life of leadership?

This podcast isn’t just about skills and techniques, but about the character, posture, and attitudes behind great leadership and followers of Jesus.

Whether you feel a call to leadership or simply want to grow deeper in your faith, we’ve got something for you! From unpacking what leadership really is, to faith, theology, and the character and attitudes needed to thrive as a Christian leader, we dive deep into big concepts and explore practical applications.

In this special episode we wrap up our podcast! After four years and 81 episodes our Life of Leadership journey is coming to an end.

Sav, Sam, and Joel sit down to reflect on the highlights, stand out episodes, and explore what it looks like to finish well.

Derek Peters, our Executive Pastor here at Gateway Baptist, chats with us about the importance of character. We explore how a rhythm of intentional rest can help to grow and solidify our character, and Derek unpacks three keys we can practice.

In this episode we’re joined by Jason Elsmore, Senior Pastor of Gateway Baptist Church and Director of the Queensland Baptist Movement. We explore pastoral leadership, what it is and how it’s different from other types of leadership. Jason also shares some of his ministry journey and what it has looked like for him to lead pastorally.

This week Andrew Sercombe, our Gateway City Campus Pastor, shares his story of what it looked like to sense and follow God’s call into pastoral ministry and planting a church in the City. We also explore what it can look like to discern God’s will.

We’ve got a cracking episode for you this week! We’re joined by Elena Ciobo, our Missions Pastor here at Gateway, to explore the meaning behind ‘Missio Dei’ (the mission of God). We also unpack the deep connection between calling, mission, and discipleship.

In this episode we sit down with Elissa Macpherson, President of the Baptist Women of the Pacific, to explore what her role involves, what cultural intelligence is, and how she navigates cross-cultural leadership.

Andrew Mayne, Campus Pastor of Gateway Ormeau, joins us to chat about how we can sustain longevity in leadership and ministry. We explore the importance of who we surround ourselves with, what a theology of failure is, and the value of feedback.

This week we’re talking all about evangelism! We sit down with Graham Sercombe, Community Pastor at Wynnum Baptist Church, to explore what evangelism is and isn’t, what it means to make Jesus King, and the unique roll Chaplaincy can play.

Following on from our last episode with Derek Peters, we continue our discussion around who we are in Christ. We explore the question ‘is God really good’ through Adam and Eve, and we dive into theology by unpacking the concept of ontological truth and how that should affect how we live our lives.
