Questions I Ask myself as a leader The church network leadership conference

Am I teachable? “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52 (NIV) “He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.” Luke 4:16 (NIV)

Am I Genuinely Interested In Others? “As he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. ‘How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.’” Luke 19:41–42 (NLT) “I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 2:19–21 (NIV)

Am I Genuinely Interested In Others? Manipulation – Moving people for personal benefit. Motivation – Moving people for mutual benefit. “Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not to be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for many who are held hostage.” Mark 10:43–45 (The Message)

Am I Developing Leaders? “The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’ So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.” Mark 6:30–32 (NIV) “[Jesus] took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.” Luke 9:28 (NIV)

Am I Developing Leaders? Favorites – Contacts … Character Competency Chemistry Culture Calling Capacity

Am I Developing Leaders? 5 Step Equipping Process I do it. I do it and you are with me. You do it and I am with you. You do it. You do it and someone is with you.

Who are the young eagles that I should be inviting to the table? “Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons. These are the twelve he appointed: Simon, James and his brother John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.” Mark 3:13–19 (NIV)

What dimension of extraordinary leadership is most needed? “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30–31 (NIV)

What’s not clear? Our Mission & Vision … Core Values … Culture. Our Roles & Expectations. Our Commitment To Foster Trust Rather Than Suspicion. Where We Are Stuck – Relationally, Organizationally, Financially, Spiritually Who Has Ownership, Responsibility And Authority.

What’s not clear? I commit to do what I say I’ll do and when I don’t, I’ll tell you. You won’t hear it from anyone else before you hear it from me. I commit not to overpromise and under-deliver. But if it looks like that is the way things are headed, I’ll tell you. If you confront me about the gaps I’ve created, I’ll tell you the truth.

Am I Pleasing God? “I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work You gave me to do.” John 17:4 (NIV)   “If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously.” Romans 12:8 (NLT) “Don't appoint people to church leadership positions too hastily. If a person is involved in some serious sins, you don't want to become an unwitting accomplice. In any event, keep a close check on yourself.” 1 Timothy 5:22 (Message)

Am I Pleasing God? To keep a close check on myself I seek to honestly and humbly answer these questions: What would most replenish me in this current season? How am I practically communicating appreciation, honor and respect to others? Am I being completely honest with myself? Why am I doing this, really? What story do I want to tell?

Am I Pleasing God? To keep a close check on myself I seek to honestly and humbly answer these questions: Is there a tension that needs my attention? What would be most honoring to Jesus? In light of my past experiences, my current circumstances, and my future hopes and dreams, what is the wise thing for ME to do?

Personal reflection What questions are you asking yourself these days as a leader? What changes would you make for yourself? What questions should you be asking of those you serve alongside? What questions are the most difficult for you to ask? Why?

Personal reflection How has the Holy Spirit spoken to you throughout today? What surprised you? What stood out to you? What did you learn? What challenged you? What will you do as a result of what you’ve heard? Who do you need to have a conversation with this week to implement what you intend to do?
