December 27, 2022 Episode 82: How to Lead with Wisdom
• THE SIX PILLARS OF WISDOM •

Culture is changing so rapidly that it often feels impossible to keep up. Centuries of biblical orthodoxy is under intense scrutiny to such a degree that it is considered implausible in the minds of this generation. Technologies are rapidly advancing, and yet seemingly failing to provide the answers we hoped they might. And in amongst all this uncertainty the Lord calls us to lead. If there was ever a time we needed wisdom, surely this is it. So what is godly wisdom, how do we get it, and how do we apply it in the world in which we lead?

In this episode of the pod, we share @RevTimAlford’s keynote talk from Limitless Leaders 2022, in which he unpacks some practical mechanisms by which we can develop wisdom in our life and leadership.

… the fear of God ✅
… intimacy with God ✅
… humility ✅
… margin ✅
… community ✅
… knowledge ✅

There is much biblical teaching to reflect on, as well as actionable practices to takeaway from this episode.
