EP 220 SHARED LEADERSHIP
We hope you are well Bootcampers! Jimbo has been released from his quarantine and Bob is feeling a little under the weather, but do not fear loyal Bootcamper we held forth and produced another EP for you that is an important listen.
Leadership is often lonely and challenging, that’s why it is vitally important to learn how to share the burdens and blessings of leading the local church. In this EP we remind ourselves of Ezra and Nehemiah and how they each played an important role in leading God’s people.
Ezra is a pastor/priest who seeks to get others to take the Bible seriously, and live faithfully. Nehemiah is essentially a visionary who sees the need for the rebuilding of the ancient walls of Jerusalem. –Tim Mackie
This restoration required, first of all, the rebuilding of the temple and the reinstitution of ceremonial worship. The two accomplished a lot, both had frustrations with those they led, some success and some failure – a real story of the reality of leadership.
Leaders, keep this in mind:
God uses Pastors and Civic Leaders
Both are needed for Kingdom work
Both are valued by God
Each has an important task, a divine gift set, and a specific calling
Working together for Kingdom purposes
- Value each other’s gifting, call
- Collaborate and Compliment rather than compete
- Lead and follow – the best leaders are also great followers
- Recognize that absolute success is often measured in many cycles of victory and setbacks
- Keep the big picture in mind – Your God-given assignment is faithfully fulfilling the assignment God has given, success is being faithful.
