Christian Influence and Leadership
This is a course about Christian leadership. No doubt about that. But throughout the course I have mostly used the more generic term “Christian influence” instead of “Christian leadership” to make sure that the net is cast wide. I happen to believe that the call to Christian faith is a call to leadership influence and so the passions described in this course apply to all Christians, not just those who have formal leadership roles or who see themselves as leaders.

Driven by a heart for God and his word, we grow in our character and wisdom which produces spiritual authority.

We hold on to God for his future
promises and believe that He will work through our influence.

We know that God works through his body and so we build teams that serve effectively together.
