DGT Episode 355 - Leaders Give Themselves - Leadership Lessons From Priests Part V
2w ago00:27:30Tap to summarizeIn 1997 and the year 2000 Pope John II sent a letter to all the priests in the world as was his custom and in both of these letters he emphasizes a very important truth: the priest has to lead out of who he is. As important as this might be for priests to remember it’s also important for all leaders to remember Jesus doesn’t lead in abstraction. He asks us to give ourselves. Learning how to do this well is an essential aspect of Christian leadership.

May 1100:27:30Tap to summarizeBeginning of the first year of his pontificate, every holy Thursday Pope John Paul II would write a letter to all the priests in the world. Since this tradition spans his entire pontificate, these letters are a very precious source of wisdom and inspiration for us that show how priests are called to lead in the world. At the same time we can drive very special leadership lessons for people who are in the world to lead as well today we focus in on spirit filled leadership.

May 400:27:30Tap to summarizeIf I were to ask you who it is that's responsible for making the world holy most of you would respond your priest or your minister or someone who works for the church. While this may be true, what’s the place for a businessperson or working professional or stay at home mom or even grandparents for that matter? In his letters to priest from 1996, Pope John Paul II makes a compelling case for the special way that people can make the world holy too.

Apr 2100:27:30Tap to summarizeBecause the lifestyle of a leader is marked by action, fatigue and wearing out are a common problem. This is the same whether you are a secular leader or a religious one. How can we renew our energy and find the way forward when we feel overwhelmed and worn out with exhaustion. In this second part of “Leadership Lessons From Priests” I focus in on Saint Pope John Paul II’s letter to priests from 1982. Here he lays out for us a pathway to hope.

Apr 1400:27:30Tap to summarizeFrom 1979 to 2005 Pope John Paul II had the custom of writing a letter to all the priests in the Catholic world on the occasion of Holy Thursday. The letters are a treasury of wisdom and insight into leadership and all leaders of denomination or state in life can find insight here. In this beginning of our next session on “What Can Priests Teach Us?”, we discover our own role as stewards and witnesses.

Apr 1400:27:30Tap to summarizeThe life of King Solomon provides many inspiring examples for leaders to follow. At the same time it details some of the warning signs for Christian leaders to avoid. In this final segment of our treatment of his life we look at the legacy that his choices left. It’s a good way for us to remember the legacy that our own choices will leave behind us. Leadership just like anything else is not just about what happens now but about how what we do now will impact generations to come.

Mar 3100:27:30Tap to summarizeThe life of King Solomon is exceptional in many ways. From his virtue to his success to his covenant with God, the life of King Solomon serves as a great example and inspiration for Christian leaders. Nevertheless, not everything about the life of this great king is admirable. Like all of us he had faults and failings. And because he did not deal with them effectively these became the source of his downfall. And in his failure as much as his victory we can also learn how to lead.
Transcribe →DGT Episode 348 - The Weight Of Success - King Solomon Part 5
Mar 1600:27:30Tap to summarizeIt is said by many that success can be harder to cope with than failure. Certainly this was true for King Solomon. The incredible success we read about in first Kings 9 and 10 is only the prelude to his incredible downfall. But what a prelude it is. What does God want us to learn from it? In this our fifth segment on King Solomon, I examine the weight of success and the call for Christian leaders not only to achieve it but to live it like saints.
Transcribe →DGT Episode 347 - God's Dwelling - King Solomon Part 4
Mar 900:27:30Tap to summarizeIn the first book of Kings, the Word of God details the fact that King Solomon built the temple in which God lived. What is said here in a very matter of fact and simple fashion has profound implications for the way that we view the work of our hands. In this fourth part of our series on King Solomon we allow the life and example of the good king to challenge our own perspectives about our work and the ability we have to bring faith into our business.
Transcribe →DGT Episode 346 - Temple Builders - King Solomon Part 3
Mar 200:27:30Tap to summarizeThe life of King Solomon was truly extraordinary. Gifted with outstanding wisdom, King Solomon’s wisdom blessed Israel with outstanding abundance. And even though everything in his life was not worthy of imitation, the Bible is careful to record that he used his gifts to build the temple of God. This might surprise us. Why would God want his leader to dedicate himself to building a temple? It’s a question that opens us to a deeper understanding of our own leadership today.
