Next Generation Leadership


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Herbert Viars shares on the importance of raising up the next generation of leadership and how they can fulfill their destiny.  

Eph. 4:7 CEB: God has given his grace to each one of us measured out by the gift that is given by Christ.  

One of the core undertakings in his church is to develop any leader candidate that presents themselves, and to help them discover and walk out their destiny and God’s plan and purpose for their lives.  

Eph. 4:11-13 NLT: Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.  

Our duty, as outlined in Scripture, is to inspire, develop, nurture and empower God’s people to fulfill His purpose, and to edify, build up and uplift the Body of Christ.  

With our gifting and calling, God has given us the grace and anointing to fulfill it. We have everything necessary to fulfill our destiny and our calling, including raising the next generation by training, developing and equipping God’s people to effectively do the work of the ministry and strengthen the Body of Christ.  

We focus on three areas in nurturing and developing new leaders:  

#1 We help them discover their unique calling and role in the Body of Christ.
#2 We lead by example and show them how to effectively operate in their calling. 
#3 We inspire them to pursue their calling with a spirit of excellence.  

The most crucial aspect is having the individual candidate understand that they have a very specific, unique place of service and specific calling in the Body of Christ. It could be five-fold ministry, ministry of helps, or serving on a team, ...  

As they are attempting to identify their calling, we emphasize to them that this is a process. It requires patience and commitment on their part. It is also important that they understand that they are not deciding their destiny and calling but discovering it.  

In this podcast, Dr. Viars shares key questions for the potential leadership candidate to answer. These questions will help to lead and guide them in discovering their place and calling in the Body of Christ.  

This episode will provide you with insights and ideas on how to raise up, develop and train the next generation of leadership in the Kingdom of God.
