Four Key Components to Leading Well (The Renegade Pastor - Part 2)

As a leader you must continually position yourself for growth – the growth and health of your ministry depends on it.

And as a leader you bear full responsibility for that growth. Just like you can’t force the people in your church to grow, no one can force you.

But you can make choices to grow.

When you stepped into the role of pastor, you immediately became a leader, whether you were prepared to be one or not.

Not only are you responsible for guiding the day-to-day operations of your church and your staff toward the vision God has given you, but you are also charged with leading the sheep you’ve been given – no matter how few or how many they may be.

There are four tenets of leadership that will better help you LEAD those God has entrusted to your care. A leader:

Learns

Engages

Anticipates

Decides

Your growth as a leader starts with that first letter – remember how leaders are learners? If you want to lead a growing congregation full of growing people, you have to decide to be a lifelong student of your calling.

The choice to keep growing is yours – and yours alone.
