It has been said that turkeys flock together but eagles must be found one at a time. \u00a0If you attend Lunch With A Leader will find a flock of eagles. \u00a0<\/strong>So what Would Make Over 100 Of Your Community’s Most Influential Leaders Come To Your Church For A Training?\u00a0 That is a good question isn’t it?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Earlier this week I joined over 100 of our community’s most influential leaders for a monthly event called Lunch With A Leader.<\/strong> \u00a0This is hosted by the NorthStar Church in Kennesaw, GA and their amazing senior pastor Mike Linch. \u00a0Mike also has a wonderful podcast entitled “Linch With A Leader.”<\/a> \u00a0If you are not listening already, click HERE<\/a> and add it to your playlist. \u00a0His interview this month with Carey Nieuwhof<\/a> is definitely worth an hour of your time.<\/div>\n

Lunch With A Leader Audience<\/p><\/div>\n

This event is the brainchild of Mike. \u00a0He had a vision of bringing the community’s top leaders from government, first responders, educators, coaches and business leaders for training on how to fulfill your purpose and lead with your faith out in front. \u00a0What started with about two dozen leaders now has over 100 highly-influential leaders every month. \u00a0The audience is made up of mayors, police chiefs, professors, head coaches and more being trained on biblical leadership principles.<\/strong><\/div>\n

The content for this week’s event was so compelling I want to share it with you. \u00a0Mike taught on David and Goliath and focused on the dangers of prideful leaders. \u00a0Below are 34 statements from Mike originating from\u00a01 Samuel 17:50<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. God has put you where He’s put you when you He put there to serve a purpose.<\/li>\n
  2. David had the lowest level of leadership possible… Shepherds were what anyone could be.<\/li>\n
  3. You can sense a losing team the moment you walk into a locker room or dugout.<\/li>\n
  4. Leaders inspire hope.<\/li>\n
  5. Leaders inspire confidence.<\/li>\n
  6. Leaders inspire passion.<\/li>\n
  7. They (Israelites) didn’t know David was anointed the next king. \u00a0They just knew he killed Goliath.<\/li>\n
  8. Goliath led from arrogance.<\/li>\n
  9. Goliath underestimated David and overestimated his own abilities.<\/li>\n
  10. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. – Provers 16:18<\/li>\n
  11. When you’re prideful, you stop listening.<\/li>\n
  12. An arrogant leader never makes it long.<\/li>\n
  13. Prideful leaders stop learning because they think they know it all.<\/li>\n
  14. In leadership, you will never stop learning.<\/li>\n
  15. The guys with the best ideas are those who eat what they kill.<\/li>\n
  16. The larger you get the harder it is to learn.<\/li>\n
  17. You can’t make it without asking good questions.<\/li>\n
  18. Prideful leaders fail to learn from their mistakes.<\/li>\n
  19. The higher you go to less you know.<\/li>\n
  20. Prideful leaders are usually ignorant of their own weaknesses.<\/li>\n
  21. You better be careful of your blind spots. \u00a0We all have them.<\/li>\n
  22. David becomes Goliath later in the story.<\/li>\n
  23. Saul led from position… He looked like a king.<\/li>\n
  24. Saul was ineffective because he refused to show initiative and get into the fight himself.<\/li>\n
  25. Saul did not want to take the risk of losing.<\/li>\n
  26. Your people have probably lost respect for you when you don’t get into the battle.<\/li>\n
  27. You can’t lead from position. – 1 Peter 5:3<\/li>\n
  28. You can’t rely on your position to get people to follow. \u00a0They will follow you because they have to, not because they want to.<\/li>\n
  29. David led by example. \u00a0David stepped into the battle and took a risk for the good of the people.<\/li>\n
  30. Leaders lead for the good of the people.<\/li>\n
  31. Leading by example is hard sometimes.<\/li>\n
  32. You can’t lead without the chance of failure. \u00a0Failure is the price of leadership.<\/li>\n
  33. John Maxwelll’s Five Levels Of Leadership – Position – they have to follow up. \u00a0Permission – They have given you permission. \u00a0Production – you get results. \u00a0Personal Investment – You have invested in them. Legacy – you have led over the long haul.<\/li>\n
  34. Never ask a question unless you’re ready to take action.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
