Now What?

January 2, 2020 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

Now that the festivities of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s are behind us, we consider “Now What?”

For some, it is back to the norm. Back to the grind. For others, it is time to focus on the vision. Fulfill our goals.

No matter which side we find ourselves, leadership demands we grow. We continue to work on ourselves, improve our ability to connect with others, and influence the lives of each person God beautiful orchestrates into our lives.

As a reminder, 2020 is the perfect year to focus on where we are headed and who we plan to become. 

Make this the best year EVER.

Role of the Shepherd…#1

December 17, 2019 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

A frequently asked question in the church today is, “What is an elders’ role?” We often refer to the qualifications (1 Tim. 3; Tit. 1), but what exactly is their function?

The term “shepherd” has become more popular in recent years. As a result, a shepherd’s work is aligned with what we read in Psalm 23. He leads, guides, refreshes, walks alongside, comforts, prepares, and anoints. 

Perhaps others come to mind, but these provide a healthy list related to a shepherd’s role, or work. 

Over the next few days, we will examine another perspective provided by Jesus. The intent is to help us consider the responsibility of the church’s leadership today.

Work Worth Finishing…

Is our current project worth finishing? Will it make a difference in the lives of others?

When leading others there are some things worth achieving in our leadership. Consider the following.

Andrew: He was responsible for bringing Peter to Jesus. For leaders, bringing others to Jesus is a task worth achieving.

Barnabas: His name means “son of encouragement.” Providing encouragement to others is one of the greatest leadership achievements.

Timothy: He taught those who were faithful to teach others. Such activity would ensure salvation for everyone involved.

If we can achieve the activity of these individuals, our leadership will make a difference.

At the Core of Leadership…

Our culture has developed a great ability to act one way, yet at the core they are something else.

We refer to this as hypocrisy. While true, we also need to understand it has become accepted and normal.

We must guard against such when we look at spiritual leadership. How many times in the past has the core of a religious leader been exposed in sinful activity?

Godly leaders need to be characterized by a core that walks with integrity, works righteousness, and speaks truth in the heart (Ps. 15:2).

Here is where we begin to develop the opportunity for our greatest influence.
