Isaiah speaks primarily to kings, national leaders, and the people who follow them. Isaiah’s messages repeatedly calls leaders to return to integrity, justice, and dependence on God rather than power, alliances, or reputation.
Take a journey through the life of King David. A hero, a warrior, a poet, an adulterer, a murderer. His life is a study in contrasts, and holds great lessons for men who want to be “All In” with their lives and leadership.
The Apostle Paul leaves his disciple Titus behind on the island of Crete. Titus is to recruit leaders to grow the church and share their faith on this highly influential, and deeply corrupt, Mediterranean island. His letter to Titus is a masterclass is leadership development, influential relationships, and setting a meaningful example for others.
Daniel remains a faithful leader as God raises up a kingdom and then brings it crashing down. God gives Daniel favor. In his book we read the account of his time as an influential leader under Babylonian rule.
Today males have a difficult road moving from boys to men. Our culture struggles to even define a man, much less understand the unique and specific purposes for which God made him. The Apostle Paul tells us to “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong” (1 Corinthians 16:13). Take a journey of manhood. Walk through Scripture to find seven specific directions for men.
Prayer is simply talking with God. In the Bible, we read of God’s leaders praying to Him through many different circumstances. Even Jesus prayed to God the Father. Prayer for the leader is a lifeline—the single most important means we have to connect directly to God at any time and for any reason. Prayer is not meant to be our last resort, but rather a constant and ongoing conversation with God in every facet of life and work.
At the end of the Old Testament, we find 12 short books which contain a series of uncomfortable warnings for God’s people. Through these teachings, God is reminding leaders of His commands, His consequences for wrongs, and His high standards. Each of these prophets of God is given a warning to convey, which we can readily apply to our lives and leadership today.
The New Testament book of Acts records the early days of the Christian faith. In this book we see pivotal moments in the lives of these leaders as they navigate success, struggle, deception, opposition and deliverance.
1 Corinthians 16:13 instructs us to “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” What does it mean in our time and culture to “take a stand” or to “be strong”, in a spiritual, personal and professional sense? Walk through this New Testament letter to find important leadership lessons you can employ in life and work.
The greatest leader of all—Jesus Christ—used a simple device to teach profound truths. Journey with us through the parables, short stories that each hold a meaningful lesson for leaders. Jesus used these fictional narratives to expose real-life principles that we can use every day. But be warned—the parables don’t have predictable endings. Turn the page with us on these tales of life and leadership.
The beginning of the world sets our foundation for leadership. In Genesis we read the epic story of how we started. The Garden. The snake. The fall. The flood. Every origin narrative is a lesson that is more than history. We will draw on each chapter to find out how to live, love, worship and work. From ancient days to today, these timeless principles will fill you with a new perspective on your role and responsibility. Let there be… leaders!
Throughout time, there were men whose destiny it was to lead. Some were successful, while others held a position of power but ultimately failed. Join us as we look at eight mighty kings—crowned leaders who will jump from the pages of history to teach us leadership lessons we can learn and apply today. This game of thrones is one you can learn to play and win!
The Bible holds keys to how men should live, work and lead. When challenges and difficulties come, walking on practiced principles allows a leader to not only survive, but thrive. These leadership talks from the lives of Job and King David will inspire you to be the best man you can be.
