Our current church leadership models rely heavily on looking at what successful businesses are doing to “win,” and then working to implement the principles/models they use to do so. Yet Jesus very strongly urged us to realize that leadership in the kingdom of God is upside down when compared to leadership in other kingdoms. In the world, Jesus says, people lord it over those they lead. This ought not to be so with us. Instead, whoever wants to become the greatest must humbly become the servant of all. This is such an incredibly subversive idea for us, and we simply cannot pass over it and pretend like it doesn’t challenge our whole concept of church leadership. Think about the difficult things Jesus said about ‘leadership’; almost all of them fly in the face of how we think the world works. —You want life? Die. —You want to be rich? Give everything away. —You want to be a great leader? Become the servant of all Pastor Kevan Duke from "4 Devastating Leadership Myths"
