Over fifty thousand books on “leadership” are listed on Amazon.com. Clearly, this is a critical concern for individuals. People in almost all spheres of life in both secular and Christian organizations realize its importance. Sadly, our ideas of leadership have been often predominantly shaped by historical philosophies, academic theories, and popular culture, rather than by a sound understanding of how God shapes and uses leaders for His purposes.
In this course, you will examine the foundations and principles of biblical leadership and how God transforms and develops individuals into effective leaders through His redemptive work. You will have the opportunity to reflect on the developmental stage of leadership you may be in so as to recognize the knowledge, skills, and values that you need to develop to be an effective leader in your twenty-first-century ministry context.
- Distinguish the different criteria required of ministry leaders compared to that of secular leaders based on illustrations of remarkable leaders in the Bible.
- Appreciate how God uses a transformative and developmental process to call and shape effective redemptive leaders.
- Determine the developmental stage of redemptive leadership in which you are in to further develop the characteristics of a Bible-based leader.
- Reflect on your motivations, driving influences and “performance criteria” for being a “successful” ministry leader.
- Evaluate the requirements of twenty-first-century ministry leaders in response to the changing socio-cultural trends shaping society and churchgoers’ needs.

This course is a must for someone who wishes to grow in the Biblical Leadership of their spiritual walk with Jesus. Christians are called by our Lord to grow and improve their knowledge of the Bible and the Gospel in order to share with those people who do not know Christ and need a savior. I am sure there are many college courses on leadership. But this is less intimidating and more application for someone with little or no leadership background.

Completely satisfied.

This course covers a lot of information. It is well organized. It does take a significant amount of time and involves a lot of writing to just be an entry level course. So, do not take it thinking it is a cake course.
