Before you listen, I want to give you two free tools. The Leadership Scorecard takes about ten minutes and helps you see where you actually are, personally and as a leader, measured by what matters most to Jesus. The discussion guide walks your team through three one-hour sessions with highlights, questions, and short videos. You'll find both at emotionallyhealthy.org/success.
After Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus cooked him breakfast on a beach and asked him one question, three times: "Do you love me?" Peter was about to be handed the care of the entire church. That was the whole interview.
Most of us are carrying a different scorecard. Size. Influence. Praise. Speed of growth. How we compare. By every one of those measures, Jesus himself would fail. For years in Queens, I measured myself by them anyway, and it pushed me to rush plans, hires, and new services before we were ready.
In Part 4 of our Emotionally Healthy Success series, we begin Movement 1, personal formation: the breathing in. I walk through eight marks of a leader formed by God, from being with God before doing for God to joyfully receiving the gift of limits.
Don't grade yourself on all eight. Listen for the one God points to.
