The Ways of the Leader

Leaders: Are you feeling overwhelmed in this post-pandemic world? The one-size-fits-all approaches no longer work. You need creative strategies based on godly wisdom that bring people together and break new ground.

Bill Mowry unpacks four competencies for everyday leaders in churches, ministries, communities, and businesses. To generate wisdom as a leader, you must become a

lifelong learner who views your life and leadership as God’s classroom for discovery;
collaborator who engages people to explore, create, and implement new approaches;
cultural detective who examines assumptions and values where you lead and live; and
ministry innovator who discovers solutions that are crafted to the specific needs of your community.

Rise up against the chaos of today as you nurture the wisdom to choose what is good (what brings life and nourishes people) and right (what is just and fair) and impact those right where you are with practical solutions.
