Next Generation Leader’s Training
One of my favorite theologians, thinkers, and pastors is NT Wright, the Bishop of Durham. I love the wisdom and message he offers here to the next generation of christian leaders.
I’ve learned much at bible college and seminary for which I’m grateful for [totaling five+ years of my life in all]. But I think NT just summed up in ONE MINUTE what I spent YEARS hoping to learn:
How can I best follow Christ and pastor, and then inspire others to do the same?
Of all the “complicated schemes” that I’ve either been introduced to through training or just picked up myself–of what I should be working at and developing as a follower of Christ, christian leader, and pastor–these are so refreshingly simplistic and yet vital:
- Know the bible in its original language and context inside and out as thoroughly as I can.
- Get on my knees and learn how to pray for God’s world, work, and people.
- Learn how to love people.
The bible, prayer, and loving people!
I still have much to learn but these inspire me. Praying they inspire you, too!
