a Different take on Leadership
Many leaders have a strong sense of calling and a high sense of responsibility and they tend to do everything themselves.
They either feel so responsible that I don’t know how to trust anyone else with my calling if I give anything away OR very controlling and can’t imagine anyone else doing it as well as I can.
Jesus Leadership takes us from shifting from getting members to: this is about everyday people becoming like Jesus. Leadership is also about what God does through us.
Podcast
How do we actually get to shared leadership?
Bryan joined the “Youth Down South Podcast” to discuss leadership concepts found in “Leading Together.”
We are having to find new ways to lead because the world is changing, but the Bible is still the same. God is still the same. In Acts, they had no guidebook. They figured it out together. What does it actually look like to discern together?
Bryan describes some of his initial experiences working on staff at a church and how his observations shaped the questions that years later led him to write Leading Together: how do we work together, adaptive, and improvisational?

“Cycle of Love”
Bryan discusses the “Cycle of Love” concept from Leading Together in an interview with Asbury Seminary.
“What if God shows up in the mundane? What if every time I show up at Church I expect God to change lives, show up, and be transformative? What if every morning when I wake up I have anticipation that God is here, God is with me, and He is inviting me into something deeper.”

“Leading as a means of Grace.”
Bryan D. Sims joins Asbury Theological Seminary to teach: “What does leading others look like as a means of grace?”
If you are called into leadership, what doe sit look like for us to live a life worthy of the calling we have received. Bryan often encounters leaders who fall into two categories:
Because God is the one that changes lives, then what part do we play?
there are a lot of Christian leaders that hey have more power than they actually do. They assume their leadership is going to make a difference in the world.
So, what is God's part, and what is our part? And how do we lead in grace? And what do those postures and practices look like?

“Leadership Identity”
Our identity in Christ impacts our vocation.
Jesus had not begun his ministry, yet His Father was “well pleased.” He was pleased because simply Jesus was His son. Jesus’ identity was secure in his Fathers’ love. His calling is clear and he moves forth in purpose and love. What does that look like for us?
