Leadership Development with Ps. Jurgen Matthesius & Awaken Church

As a christian leader, our intent should always be people. While we will always need to develop systems and structures, our original intent of being a leader always will be about growing and developing people.

The word of God often comes through small things, and in those whispers is where God speaks! Everything rises and falls on the consistency of the small things we do in our lives.

Sometimes as leaders we can get caught up in doing things in our own strength, and completely lose sight of our dependence on God. In this message, Ps. Jurgen unpacks a myriad of points that we can use to align ourselves back with God and his plan for our life.

We are all leaders, and as leaders with influence we must always tap into the power that the Gospel has!

As leaders, God takes us through the wilderness so we learn to find water. It's in those wilderness moments where God teaches us, trains us, and strengthens our resolve.

Can you behave like your destination while you're still on your journey? In this message, Ps Jurgen talks about David's development as a leader and encourages us that the level of our transparency is congruent with our level of transformation.

As leaders, if we are willing to do the difficult, God will do the impossible. What are you asking God for that is bigger than what you can think or imagine?

When everything seems to be against us as a leader, we must hold fast to the truth that God is a breakthrough God! Faith sees differently; it looks beyond the hopelessness of our situation. Sometimes we need to put the naysayers outside and only surround ourselves with the voice of God and those that speak in faith!

Every shepherd leads, but not every leader shepherds! Pulling from the story of Simon Peter, Ps. Jurgen talks about how Jesus was able to rebuke Simon in the harshest way but still Simon followed. This shows not only Simon's ability to take a rebuke, learn from it, and move on, but also how Jesus didnt' worry about someone's feelings in the midst of a teaching moment! Discipling others can sometimes feel like we're movingn backward, but if we lead and guide in love, you can only go up from there!

Culture defines us. Culture marks us. Culture is what sets us apart.
