In Pursuit of Great AND Godly Leadership

Published on 1/24/2012

In Pursuit of Great AND Godly Leadership

Is it possible for church leaders to use biblical and secular leadership concepts in a way that keeps Christ—not the marketplace—at the center of their mission?

Drawing on biblical material and business wisdom, In Pursuit of Great AND Godly Leadership: Tapping the Wisdom of the World for the Kingdom of God explores the critical leadership decisions and practices that shape the success of Christian organizations. These decisions are illustrated in compelling interviews with over forty leaders of churches, universities, denominational bodies, and international ministries.

Author Mike Bonem leverages his background as an MBA-trained manager and an experienced church leader to bridge the gap between the analytical and structured world of business and the faith-driven approach that is essential for healthy churches.

Written to offer practical solutions for senior pastors, executive pastors, key laypeople, and leaders of other Christian entities, In Pursuit of Great AND Godly Leadership clearly shows the ways that secular practices can be imported into their organizations. Bonem addresses a variety of topics such as planning, finances, personnel management, measurement, team dynamics, and organizational change. In doing so, he points to the AND that every spiritual organization should strive to achieve

I met with the hope embassador team today and it was amanzig.  It is like we are carrying this secret and it needs to be released.  Great minds, powerful people, Big Hearts and Love for our Region and cities we call home.  I started a mentorship process about 4 months ago with a young business person.  The words that were placed as sounding board to our conversations and meeting were add value , which came up in the discussion today. Another was mentorship, and mentoring young people, but I also say lets mentor or leaders already put in position for immediate change.  Remind them of how valuable they are as a person, to their role as a leader and reignite that fire in their belly again. Stip away the old and fill up new with unconditional love and add value.  Derek and Wanda Dutka are perfect examples of people who do what I call Life on Life , they value you and pour into you.  Life on Life is what counts and people will change and respond to this. It changed me.  To be a leader you must first serve, serving is not a job it is an honor. We have a great Region, lets honor people and honor our region, by launching a life on life campaign to change lives.Lisa Mac Farlane
