Leadership Explored

It’s crazy to me how so often we learn best in atmospheres of give-and-take discussion but insist on teaching only in one-way lecture formats.  I find I learn the most about people and life within the context of community.  These tendencies were highlighted for me a few nights ago as I met with 5 college students who serve as Young Life leaders in Central Illinois.  We are embarking on a journey we call the Leadership Learning Community.  We will explore the topic of leadership in an open discussion within the context of community.  When reading the accounts of Jesus and His disciples in scripture it is evident that they were intentional in learning and teaching while sharing life together within the context of community.  This is a tall order in the culture we know in 2008, however, its a journey that we’re excited to embark on.  Check back regularly as I share thoughts on the topic of leadership, life with Christ, and community….
