Lance Ford on leadership at #Exponential

There is one master carpenter in the church and it is Jesus.

We as leaders carry more than we should.
When Jesus says one thing and we experience something else, it should lead us to ask why.

Luke 22:24-27-The Leader as Servant

Jesus is making a statement about power as He comes riding into Jerusalem on a donkey.

We can learn leadership lessons and principles as long as they don't contradict with Jesus.

Jesus' way of Leadership

Titles only differentiate hierarchy. They tell us who is in charge.

Stay in the shadow of Jesus as a leader.
