The Weekly LEAD - Week 7

The WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST SHOW NOTES: WEEK 7

This week, Becky inspires you to be a culture-changing leader by introducing you to one of her favorite influences, Henri Nouwen, who was a 20th century educator, priest and author. She allows Nouwen’s words to give you a classic view of leadership as you follow along with the LEAD tenets:

Loyalty to God’s Word

Encouragement to Others

Advocacy for the Young, and

Devotion to Prayer.

LOYALTY: Asking the question, “What might God do if you and your sphere of influence would read the entire Bible in a year," she gives you a peek of the week from this week’s daily Bible readings in the Change Your Life Daily Bible. From the creativity of the Tabernacle artists to the challenge of the Great Commission at the end of the Gospel by Matthew, Becky is certain that leaders who read the Bible together will experience revival!

ENCOURAGEMENT: Becky shares a number of quotes from Nouwen’s book on Leadership, In the Name of Jesus, suggesting how leaders must be more open and liberal in giving encouragement (rather than criticism) to others!

ADVOCACY: Nouwen was not only a professor to students for 20 years, but he served as a care-taker to the disabled later in his ministry. His famous servant-leadership stories are both humorous and humble—a wonderful balance for any leader to aspire! Any parent, pastor, professor, or professional will surely be stretched to lead by his suggestions.

DEVOTION: The habit of daily prayer, for Henri Nouwen, was a non-negotiable trait of a leader. In his book, The Way of the Heart, he brought the practical aspects of prayer into the spiritual discipline. Becky is confident that his prayer quotes will change your prayer life—as they hers when she first read them!

This week, enjoy Becky’s virtual guest, Henri J. Nouwen.
