Jesus and the Good News
Wise organizational leaders understand that they are building organizations in the context of what God is doing in his metanarrative.

The New Covenant
Organizational leaders and managers should build organizations based on the reality of living in the context of the new covenant era.

Moralistic Therapeutic Deism
Wise organizational leaders and managers understand that Jesus is Lord of all, no exceptions. Accordingly, Jesus is Lord of all organizations. Therefore, the proper way to lead and manage an organization is in accordance with Scripture. To function any other way is humanistic, which will ultimately end in failure. The MTD message is incompatible with Christianity as historically understood by orth

Good Works and Universalism
Wise organizational leaders and managers will be regulated by a sound Christian worldview based on Scripture. Accordingly, they will understand the fallen condition of mankind and mankind’s impotency to self-save and that God’s plan of salvation is not universally granted to all.

Dualism, the Enemy of Holism
To lead well, organizational leaders and managers must be holistic—they must embrace the lordship of Jesus in all jurisdictions without equivocation. This means that every issue should, as much as possible, align with the will, ways, timing, and glory of God.

History Shapes Life

A Cry for Real Leadership
True leadership is Christian leadership because only Christian leaders are guided by Scripture as illuminated by the Holy Spirit and understood by the historical orthodox Christian church. This is the requisite epistemology that undergirds alignment of thought and actions with God’s will, performed according to God’s ways, in God’s timing, and for God’s glory. No leader will ever be profound witho

Introduction to Leadership
In a world without sin, there would be little need for leadership because everyone would always make the right choices. But in a fallen world, leadership is required to respond to the reality of sin—rebellion against God. This means that profound leaders do God’s will, according to God’s ways, in God’s timing, and all for God’s glory. There is no other way to properly lead individuals and organiza

Strategic Success in the Marketplace
Wise organizational leaders will reject the worldly definition of strategic success and embrace the Christian definition. All transactions must be tactically aligned with the will and ways of God not with pragmatic metrics, such as, does it work or will it make money.

Finding Your Goshen
Wise organizational leaders recognize that successfully fulfilling their divinely ordained purpose requires an economic context that supports Christian values and principles.

Lead by Serving
Wise leaders and managers recognize the profundity of Jesus’ model of servant leadership. He is the gold standard. Though one might find examples of other men who displayed servant leadership, such as Hal Moore, no mere mortal has ever lived (or ever will live) fully congruent with Jesus’ model.

Wise organizational leaders will be regulated by the principles of the Bible. They will build organizations with stakeholders who are also so governed.
