Joanne J. Jung & Richard Langer | Following Jesus to Become A Better Leader, 211

38 minutes

Joanne J. Jung, Richard Langer, and Amber discuss our never changing call to follow Jesus and how to pursue that in a world that views following as weakness. They also discuss the West's obsession with leadership.

Questions Discussed During Follow Jesus to Become a Better Leader:

In chapter 1 of The Call to Follow you compare leadership to money and I loved it! At one point you write, " And leadership is like money. Leadership, too, is an instrumental good. It helps get things done. But it is not an intrinsic good-it is not to be pursued for its own sake." Will one of you dive into how leadership is like money?

Historically, what seemed to be the tipping point for Christian culture's current obsession with leadership language? Or has it always been this way?

While culture says you must be a leader to be successful, the Bible speaks much about being a faithful follower of Yahweh, of Jesus. Expound on the language the Bible uses as it pertains to leadership and followership.

What is the difference between the "followership stereotype" and "Biblical followership"?

How do you think our churches, organizations, and non-profits would change if leaders began teaching and training more on followership and less about leadership?

What advice about followership would you give to people in leadership?

In a world, where the prevalent messaging is to be EXTRAORDINARY, end with a few practices that can help us be ordinary faithful followers of Jesus?
