Biblical Leadership

Almost all spheres of life require leadership. Through His redemptive work, God transforms individuals into effective leaders.

Over fifty thousand books on “leadership” are listed on Amazon.com. Clearly, this is a critical concern for individuals. People in almost all spheres of life in both secular and Christian organizations realize its importance. Sadly, our ideas of leadership have been often predominantly shaped by historical philosophies, academic theories, and popular culture, rather than by a sound understanding of how God shapes and uses leaders for His purposes. In this course, you will examine the foundations and principles of biblical leadership and how God transforms and develops individuals into effective leaders through His redemptive work. You will have the opportunity to reflect on the developmental stage of leadership you may be in so as to recognize the knowledge, skills, and values that you need to develop to be an effective leader in your twenty-first-century ministry context.
