Our world loves to talk about leadership. We host leadership conferences, write leadership books, and attend leadership training seminars. But what if we had a conversation about followership instead? What makes a good follower? Was Jesus ever a follower? What does it look like for Christians to be wise followers? Joanne Jung and Richard Langer answer these questions and more in this interview.

Richard Langer is a professor of biblical and theological studies and director of the Office for the Integration of Faith and Learning at Biola University and Joanne J. Jung is a professor of biblical and theological studies and the associate dean of online education and faculty development at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.
