episode 94: EP 94: Are You Reproachable? What Does God Require Of Leaders?
When we elect leaders, we often look for certain things:
- A charismatic personality
- Excellent speaking skills
- A solid education
- An understanding of scripture
- Someone who knows how to respond positively to authority.
All these characteristics have merit, but Paul instructs Timothy to look out in his congregation and find people who are above reproach.
If someone is not willing to face rejection for standing up for what is right, they do not belong in leadership. I delve more deeply into the things God requires of leaders who serve His Church in the podcast.
During the podcast, I mentioned MileIQ. You can learn more here.
