Governing God's Way with Dorothy Burton

Betrayal. Every leader has or will experience it at some point in their career.

The greatest leader who ever lived, Jesus, experienced his as well -Judas.

Power is one helluva drug and many, especially today, as was in Jesus' and Julius Caesar's day will stab you in the back in a heartbeat if it meant for them, more power, prestige and or money.

As a public servant leader, you too are on someone's list. And as it was with Caesar, it likely is someone you have considered a friend, and one you'd least suspect.

Betrayal. What every leader must know.

As a leader in public service, people will talk about you, criticize you, and falsely accuse you.

Most of the time the root of the problem isn't you. It is jealousy, fear, and envy.

Criticisms, attacks, and ridicule are par for the course, especially in today's environment of "cancel culture" and nationalism.

As a Christ follower, how should you respond? Take a cue from Nehemiah.

God promotes and positions us for his greater purpose as we learn from the life of Joseph of Arimathea in his often overlooked but important part of the resurrection story.

The foundation of trust is integrity. People follow leaders they trust. Integrity is every leader's saving grace. If you have it, you will never be booted from Congress, your town council or school board for lack of character. Character and integrity are two sides of the same coin and one ensures, assures and insures the other. Integrity is the only coin we get to spend with every decision we make. It spends for us, spins for us and speaks for us!

Christians in conflict. Today, often leading the conflict. From City Halls to Halls of Congress. Jesus said people will know we are his by one thing - not by our politics, but by our love for one another. In this, many of his people are failing miserably. This episode kicks off the new season of the Governing God's Way Podcast, hosted by our Founder and President, Dorothy Burton. Timely. Relevant. Challenging us all as leaders to examine ourselves and how we are representing Jesus Christ and the Kingdom in public space.

Criticism is par for the course in public service. In today's divisive political climate, criticism is more caustic and personal. Learn how to, as a public servant and public servant leader, effectively handle criticism in ways that honor God and make you the bigger person.

We all have advisors. As leaders we need them - but what if the advice is wrong? Miscalculated? With ulterior motives? Learn a great leadership principle taken from the life of first century leader, King Hanan. Know when what you are being advised is of God or from the Adversary. 

No matter if on paper you’re the leader or if your name and title are on the door – you will only be what you inwardly believe yourself to be.  Has God made you the head, yet you still see yourself as the tail?
