Thom Rainer offers leaders a beautiful picture of what a healthy leader exhibits. These traits can really help us to discover where we are as leaders. I pray these 7 traits over you!

Tripp ends the blog with, “We need to encourage people to have kingdom awareness, to be disciples of Jesus with surrendered hearts, giving everything to the greater purpose of the King of Kings. Without this surrender, without the transforming power, the rest of our hopes for discipleship simply will not take place.”

Stetzer draws on an important value for Christian Leaders in this blog. In fact, I believe this will determine whether we promote direction based discipleship or destination based discipleship. Our hope is Heaven! 

 

I hope you have a great weekend, and I look forward to seeing you Sunday. You can find more leadership snapshots in the future at www.discoverWBC.com/snapshot Grace and peace, Matt

Church Health: In this article, Paul Alexander of 9marks gives us 10 misnomers of church discipline with 10 correction from scripture.
