Joanne J. Jung, Richard Langer, and Amber discuss our never changing call to follow Jesus and how to pursue that in a world that views following as weakness. They also discuss the West's obsession with leadership.
Questions Discussed During Follow Jesus to Become a Better Leader:
- In chapter 1 of The Call to Follow you compare leadership to money and I loved it! At one point you write, " And leadership is like money. Leadership, too, is an instrumental good. It helps get things done. But it is not an intrinsic good-it is not to be pursued for its own sake." Will one of you dive into how leadership is like money?
- Historically, what seemed to be the tipping point for Christian culture's current obsession with leadership language? Or has it always been this way?
- While culture says you must be a leader to be successful, the Bible speaks much about being a faithful follower of Yahweh, of Jesus. Expound on the language the Bible uses as it pertains to leadership and followership.
- What is the difference between the "followership stereotype" and "Biblical followership"?
- How do you think our churches, organizations, and non-profits would change if leaders began teaching and training more on followership and less about leadership?
- What advice about followership would you give to people in leadership?
- In a world, where the prevalent messaging is to be EXTRAORDINARY, end with a few practices that can help us be ordinary faithful followers of Jesus?
