Life & Leadership with Kevin Gerald

Honor is essential to any group that wants to make progress. It's not optional. Everything is better with honor. But our culture today has seen a drift and decay on the subject of honoring authority. We had a chance to bring some young leaders on the podcast to talk with Pastor Kevin about the subject of honoring authority. Here are some of the questions they asked:

What is a mistake a leader may make to unintentionally or indirectly dishonor authority?

How can we help leaders differentiate between the voices of this world to find the right one so that they can ultimately submit under authority?

How would you handle a team members who have come from bad authority backgrounds?

Can you speak into the importance of being depended on (by their leader) and following through and also how you teach young leaders about being dependable and responsible without crushing their free spiritedness and creativity?

Today's culture is quick to disrespect authority. It's popular to point out the failures in others. This is one trend that we can't afford to follow. We must let God shape our attitudes about authority. In this episode, Pastor Kevin lays out four steps to honoring authority. Our hope is that this can be a paradigm shift for young leaders and we can begin to move the needle towards honor in our churches and communities. 

Covid was the great revealer of our strengths and weaknesses. This month's podcast is a conversation that every team needs to be having as we rebuild our teams coming out of the Covid-era. We're continuing to talk about owning the responsibility of leadership. It's up to us to create environments that cultivate and take care of people. 

As we enter the post-covid season, leadership is essential for rebuilding. The greatest barrier in our world today is a leadership barrier. There is a lightbulb moment when we become a leader. It's more than just a title. In fact, a title doesn't make you a leader. In this two-part conversation, we want to fuel your awareness and understanding of the nature of leadership needed moving forward.  

Straight out of our Champions Centre staff meeting, Pastor Kevin shares his heart about building leaders for today. There is a great void of leadership in our world and in our churches. If we were to boil down the strife, the issues, and the division in our nation right now, it would come down to leadership. We wanted to share this bonus episode with you and your team as we head into a new year! 

Today we're going to continue part two of a conversation with Monique Duson and Kevin Gerald on Biblical Unity, Critical Race Theory, and the local church. The second continuation of this podcast will be practical in nature and give some handles to use when talking about race and justice within the church. 

Today we're going to engage in a conversation on Biblical Unity, Critical Race Theory, and the local church. In this conversation, Kevin Gerald interviews Monique Duson from the Center for Biblical Unity, as she brings a powerful and historical Christian view on issues of race and unity. 

We felt this talk was crucial to have in a season that has seen our world and the local church so polarized by issues of race. Our prayer is to have a conversation that helps us lead with unity at the forefront. 

The Center for Biblical Unity is an organization which aims to lead respectful and Bible-centered conversations on race and unity. For more information on their organization and resources available, you can find them at https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/ 

As always, it is our goal to help start a discussion with you and your team. Please join us again next month as we continue this conversation!

Being assembled is not the same as being aligned. This season has not just created, but it's exposed the lack of alignment that's been happening in churches around the nation. Our goal in today's talk is to help give you some things we can do to accommodate a season of realignment that will build a foundation for more unified and inspiring season ahead. 

The number one strategy the devil uses against the church is always division, but with a plan and a strategy we're always going to win. 

In this special bonus episode, with Pastor John Morgan, we'll discuss how you can identify division on your team, on your own doorstep, and how to guard against it.

In the midst of social divide and political unrest, we are living in a polarizing season where kingdom culture and politics are colliding. As church leaders, many of us are deciding where to stand and what to do as we lead. In this podcast episode, we're discussing three ways to enhance your focus and prioritize the kingdom over politics. Our priority must be to the great commission, not the platform of a political party. Let's stay focused and continue to point people towards the Jesus way!
