Loving Strategic Leadership and Leading in Love: Practical Principles for a Christian Leader

Loving Strategic Leadership and Leading in Love: Practical Principles for a Christian Leader’s Journey

Teryl Baker | 2024

Abstract

As followers of Christ, Christian leadership must rest on love and service. The church, the gathering place for believers and of which Christ is the head, executes vital programs and provides excellent services. However, the church lacks effective strategies for firm Christian leadership development in Christ’s love. Christ’s followers can transform into leaders by showcasing His humble character through submission to the Holy Spirit’s power. Leadership often emphasizes one’s ability to influence without intentional concern and consistent attention to personal sanctification from which Godly leadership and love flow.

The workshop’s Biblical, theoretical, and practical integrated design catered to Circle Care Leaders in the Potomac Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God. However, local and global businesses needing ethical and moral leaders and teams can effectively apply the faith-filled and strategic principles delivered in the workshop. The Christian leader’s journey must consist of an awareness of the impact on the church’s effectiveness of the environment’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous changes. Balancing the unchanging and infallible word of God can assist leaders in implementing and executing strategies, making sense of business decisions, and providing significant meaning for church members.

Findings from the workshop’s valuable information and engagement proved that tactical leadership concepts honoring God and transforming the church require leaders to focus on Identity, Spiritual Formation, Emotional Intelligence, Ethics, Agility, Innovation, Credibility, Character, and Strategic Foresight. The learning experience enhanced the leader’s strategic thinking, acting, and influencing skills critical for their team’s direction, alignment, and commitment. Servant, Authentic, and Transformational leadership assessments helped to determine approaches needed to successfully connect with their followers and achieve the church’s global mission. Applying knowledge from the Universal Model of Leadership (Anderson & Adams, 2016), workshop participants understood the importance of growth. They learned how to develop progressively from egocentric to potentially unitive leaders who love leadership and lead in love.

Fear is Not a Four-Letter Word: Exploring the Dimensions and Dynamics of Fear

Fear is Not a Four-Letter Word: Exploring the Dimensions and Dynamics of Fear

Bryan W. Beach | 2024

Abstract

“Fear is Not a Four-Letter Word: Exploring the Dimensions and Dynamics of Fear” is an in-depth exploration of fear and its multifaceted impact on individuals, groups, cultures, and societies. Drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, this online learning program offers a comprehensive examination of the complex interplay between biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors that shape human fear perceptions, expressions, and experiences. Through a nine-part series of structured online modules, participants delve into the neurological mechanisms underlying fear responses, the societal influences on fear perception, and the cultural narratives surrounding fear. The course analyzes how fear manifests in various contexts, including media, marketing, politics, and everyday life, and explores its implications for human behavior, decision-making, and societal dynamics. By providing a nuanced understanding of fear’s influence across diverse domains, “Fear is Not a Four-Letter Word” aims to empower participants with the knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary to navigate and address fear in contemporary society, foster resiliency, and provide basic tools for stress management. The ability to understand and manage fears is crucial for effective leadership and decision-making in the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of the modern world. This program has applications for leaders at every level in any type of organization, especially during turbulent times.

Envisioning a Four-Day Workweek: A Futures Wheel Workshop

Envisioning a Four-Day Workweek: A Futures Wheel Workshop

Katina Billue | 2024

Abstract

The concept of a four-day workweek has gained increasing attention as organizations and societies explore innovative ways to improve employee satisfaction, productivity, and economic impacts. This one-day workshop utilized two strategic foresight tools—Futures Wheel and STEEPLE analysis—to envision the potential implications and outcomes of transitioning to a four-day workweek. The Futures Wheel technique was employed to map out direct, indirect, and tertiary consequences, offering a comprehensive view of potential impacts across various domains. Concurrently, a STEEPLE analysis was conducted to assess the broader socio-economic, technological, environmental, political, legal, and ethical dimensions of this shift.

The Futures Wheel revealed a complex web of interdependencies, highlighting both positive and negative repercussions, such as increased employee well-being, potential economic disruptions, changes in consumer behavior, and shifts in organizational culture. The STEEPLE analysis complements these insights by providing a structured evaluation of critical factors, including societal, technological infrastructure, economic, environmental, political, legal, and ethical frameworks. Together, these tools offered a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted implications of a four-day workweek, providing a foundation for leaders and stakeholders to consider when evaluating the feasibility and desirability of this transformative change. The workshop concluded with recommendations for further research and practical considerations for implementation, emphasizing the need for adaptive strategies to navigate the complex landscape of future work environments.

Children of Promise: A Steward Leaders Approach to Discipling Children of the Clergy

Children of Promise: A Steward Leaders Approach to Discipling Children of the Clergy

Tara A. Birkett-Bramble I 2024

Abstract

The Children of the clergy are individuals who have been planted in the soil of biblical principles without choice or revelation. The complexity of their plight requires the wisdom and grace of God as church leadership lives faithful and authentic lives before their families. The calling to become a conduit of God’s love and deliver the promises of God is a task one accepts as one grows in the grace of God. The Steward leadership approach serves as an exceptional extension of church ministry to the children of the clergy as it benefits the church community overall.

The approach addresses the various needs for discipleship to children raised in the trenches of ministry. The twenty-first century Church is fortunate to have benefitted from the experiences of four generations of children of clergy members, gaining a plethora of wisdom from their perspectives. The study of children whose parents have devoted their lives to ministry reports and testifies to God’s faithfulness, contributing diverse foresight to benefit the future state of the body of Christ. The children of the clergy are the carriers of the promise to be nurtured and prepared appropriately to serve the body of Christ according to God’s agenda for their lives.

The steward leader is expected to restore the mishandling and misrepresentation of servanthood. The plight of the child of the clergy raises the need for a delegated role of one who would answer the call to commit to the discipleship of the carriers of God’s promises. The stewarding leader comprehends the reality of clergy children from a holistic perspective; one trained and fully embraces the reality that the children of the clergy are a population favored by God to deliver the resolution of his agenda. Children of the clergy are individuals who have been planted in the foundational principles of servanthood, yet without choice or permission.

By the grace of God, the clergy parent can demonstrate prudence and collaboration with a stewarding leader who will exclusively give attention to their children as they inherit the promise in some manner. Acts 7:20-44 narrates the life of Moses, one who lived carried a promise and a plan of God.

The mastery of any calling of God is in the way God executes his promises and plans through his faithful servants. A steward leader who can understand how God’s intentions play out in the lives of the clergy family is vital. This study reexamines the dynamics of the church community, how the Church contributes to the development of children of the clergy, and how they can better honor the clergy serving their church community. This proposal does not suggest relinquishing parental responsibility but becoming the gatekeeper of a systematic structure that will preserve the child, the ministry, and the local church community to finally fulfill God’s desires for the body to fitly joined together (New King James Version 1982/2022, Ephesians 4:16).

The Transformational Leader: Bridging Organizational Development and Faith-Based Leadership

The Transformational Leader: Bridging Organizational Development and Faith-Based Leadership

Sumbo Soyemi | 2025

Abstract

The Transformational Leader: Bridging Organizational Development and Faith-Based Leadership examines the dynamic intersection between biblical values and modern leadership theory. In today’s increasingly complex and multicultural environment, the need for leaders who embody humility, integrity, emotional intelligence, and strategic foresight has never been more urgent. This project provides a practical and scholarly roadmap for those seeking to drive transformational change while remaining rooted in Christ-centered principles.

Guided by the central question— “How can transformational leadership grounded in faith-based values bridge organizational development and inspire enduring change?”—this work explores critical leadership challenges such as cross-cultural engagement, ethical decision-making, innovation, and sustainable transformation. The content is deeply informed by Scripture, enriched by current leadership theories, and illustrated with real-world case studies that bring the principles to life.

Each chapter offers reflective questions, actionable strategies, and scriptural insights to help readers integrate spiritual wisdom with professional leadership competencies. The project is tailored for organizational leaders, pastors, educators, and leadership practitioners committed to developing a legacy of ethical, visionary, and impactful leadership. Ultimately, this work aims to inspire a new generation of transformational leaders equipped to influence their organizations, communities, and the broader Kingdom of God.

Redefining the Rat Race: A Kingdom Perspective on Followership at Work

Redefining the Rat Race: A Kingdom Perspective on Followership at Work

Vanya Starr | 2025

Abstract

What if I were to tell you that it’s possible to enjoy work? That’s what redefining the rat race is all about. It is about holding the gem of our jobs up to the light of God’s glory and allowing all the resultant refractions, coruscations, and brilliancy to reform how we feel. Though followership may not be what we want out of life, embracing it is the key to everything. We get to lay down the terrible burden of having to be right all the time; we get to join hands with a team and work together for a common purpose; we get to support leaders to do the job well, even as we are supported. Trust me, followership is more of a win-win than you could ever imagine.

The truth is that how we handle our time at work absolutely matters in light of eternity so learning how to add value to our earthly organizations and the Kingdom is essential. In redefining the rat race, God shows us what a true theology of work should be because everything about work-as-usual is transformed and made new. The upside-down Kingdom mentality takes everything we thought we knew about our jobs and turns it on its head so that we have the opportunity to view everything from a better vantage point.

By adopting a Christ-centered filter, our perspective on followership will be so radically altered that instead of merely being canny, committed, courageous, competent, contributory, and conscionable in the workplace, we will instead exhibit the ideal followership behaviors of revolutionary subordination, service, stewardship, and personal and professional standards of excellence. Jesus beckons us to live the Abundant Life by being employees exhibiting wisdom and maturity, contentment, simplicity, and joy. Armed with this new definition of success, we can be assured that by accepting our role as followers, we are not losing power, prestige, or influence but are stepping into a more powerful and influential role than we ever could have imagined. Engaging with followership as a community and harnessing the exponential power of followership means that nothing can stop us from changing our workplaces and the world for the better.

Called to Build: Strategic Leadership for Church Planters and Entrepreneurs

Called to Build: Strategic Leadership for Church Planters and Entrepreneurs

Shane B. Stone | 2025

Abstract

Called to Build: Strategic Leadership for Church Planters and Entrepreneurs serves as both a practical manual and a personal account for those aiming to merge ministry with entrepreneurship. Leveraging years of expertise in church planting, business management, and leadership at the state level, this book offers actionable insights for visionary innovators tasked with establishing, guiding, and expanding enduring movements.

This work intertwines biblical teachings with contemporary leadership principles, illustrating how strategic vision and servant leadership come together to cultivate impactful and sustainable ministries. Through a rich tapestry of personal anecdotes, coaching wisdom, and useful tools, Called to Build empowers leaders to recognize their purpose, articulate a motivating vision, form strong teams, and navigate challenges, resilience, and necessary shifts.

At the heart of this book lies the belief that true leadership transcends charm or quick achievements. It is developed in faithfulness, integrity, and the ability to construct what each leader has been divinely inspired to build. By drawing connections between entrepreneurial concepts, such as lean startups, and spiritual insights from figures like Nehemiah, Paul, and Jesus, the book presents a comprehensive view of leadership that combines innovation with moral principles.

More than just a memoir, Called to Build serves as a valuable resource for church planters, pastors, and organizational leaders. It encourages readers to see themselves as creators of people and movements rather than simply orchestrators of programs or platforms.

Cultivating Global Leadership & Unlocking Personal Excellence

Ipek Taffe | 2025

Abstract

This doctoral project introduces a strategic framework and program designed to build leadership capacity in an increasingly interconnected world, aimed at preparing leaders for success beyond 2025. Anchored in rigorous theoretical foundations, the program offers a personalized, culturally nuanced developmental journey for aspiring global executives and experienced leaders alike. Leveraging extensive multicultural leadership insights—particularly from Japan, Turkey, and the United States—it emphasizes the critical importance of global leadership development and the expanded participation of women in senior roles, while providing pathways for all leaders to realize their full potential.

The program cultivates personal mastery, strategic agility, and transcultural competence within a psychologically safe environment. It combines professional coaching, psychometric assessments, peer collaboration, and experiential reflection in a meticulously designed cohort structure, fostering both individual growth and collective transformation. Delivered through five modules within a learning management system, the capstone integrates reflection and practical application, translating insights into actionable strategic leadership initiatives.

This evidence-based, culturally responsive framework offers organizations a scalable model for developing agile, globally minded leaders. Its comprehensive design supports impactful leadership growth across diverse teams, sustaining organizational excellence and empowering leaders at all levels to ascend to transformative roles within a competitive global landscape.

The Community Church Leadership Development Curriculum

The Community Church Leadership Development Curriculum

Michael E. Taylor | 2025

Abstract

Community Church, a non-denominational church located in Ashburn, Virginia, like many other organizations today, is proactively and creatively seeking to provide consistent, practical leadership to meet the growing needs of its mission, vision, and objectives. Community Church desires to be a generational church that demonstrates the love of God. This mission involves equipping its people to attain the highest level of personal influence and impact within the church and without. This DSL project provides a Christian leadership development curriculum designed to equip Community Church members to become Christ-centered, effective leaders aligned with its mission and values and in support of its overall discipleship process and core leadership competencies. The curriculum aims to provide a comprehensive leadership development program that includes Biblical teaching and leadership theory, personal reflection, discussion, practical application, and ongoing coaching and mentoring to equip volunteer and staff leaders for successful ministry leadership at Community Church. The curriculum equips individuals for varying levels of leadership: leading self, leading teams, and leading other leaders to achieve their most significant impact and role in furthering the kingdom of God, advancing the church’s ministry objectives, ensuring a pipeline of mature, effective Christian leaders, and guiding many others toward their God-given potential. The program offers development lessons based on Community Church’s chosen framework for core leadership competencies, including questions for personal reflection, discussion, and ongoing feedback and accountability. The competencies emphasize developing key spiritual, relational, and practical leadership skills and behaviors needed to excel in various roles and levels of responsibility, such as self-awareness, team building, communication, strategic thought and action, inspiration, vision casting, coaching, mentoring, problem-solving, continuous learning, and providing value-added, excellent service. A literature review examines the key themes, theories, and best practices related to Christian leadership development that provide the foundation for the curriculum proposal.
