Episode notes
Aim Leadership Toward God's Glory
- Lead toward the specific goal of people living for God's glory, not vague success metrics.
- Focus initiatives on faith and loving good deeds that prompt others to glorify God, per Piper's inner-circle marks.
Christian Leadership Defined By Christ's Goal
- Christian leadership means knowing where Christ wants people to be and taking initiative to get them there using Christ's methods and power.
- John Piper defines the goal as lives lived for God's glory, filled with good deeds so others glorify the Father.
Lead By Serving Not Lording
- Use servanthood as the method of Christian leadership rather than domination or self-aggrandizement.
- Piper insists leaders must be servants, slaves of the people, and willing to lay down their lives as Jesus did.
