the condition of Christian leadership today

"Rose and Thorns" cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward this cartoon. All my art FREE SHIPPING with code 'shipit'. > Someone has pointed out that you're not a leader unless someone is following you. It seems to me that leadership in the church is caught up in celebrity culture. It seems to me that leadership skills and business success are primary educators for the church today. It seems to me that Christian communities are learning more from Steve Jobs than Jesus of Nazareth on how to function. Jesus was quite clear on what it means to lead. He was also quite clear on what it meant to function as a healthy community. It seems. Tired of being a thorn? Join us at The Lasting Supper! It is beautiful. Seriously.
