Certificate Course on Leadership and Discipleship
In the heart of Exodus 18, a pivotal moment in biblical history, we find the great leader Moses overwhelmed by the burdens of leadership. He stood at the center of a bustling camp, where the concerns and disputes of the Israelites flowed to him like a ceaseless river. From sun-up to sun-down, he heard their pleas, judged their disputes, and sought to impart God's wisdom in each case. Moses was the fulcrum upon which the community's governance balanced, an astonishing responsibility for any leader.
In this divine narrative, we glimpse the human side of Moses. Despite his unwavering faith and devotion to God's mission, he faced the relentless pressure of guiding a vast multitude, two million souls seeking direction, judgment, and spiritual guidance. It is a burden that many leaders can empathize with today, whether in the context of ministry or business. Moses found himself at a crossroads, with a choice to make - continue down an unsustainable path of trying to carry the weight of leadership alone, or heed the counsel of a wise mentor who saw the imminent danger of burnout.
Enter Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses and an astute observer of leadership dynamics. He saw what Moses could not. Jethro's words and counsel represent what theologians have come to call "The Jethro Principle." This principle, founded on timeless wisdom, provides a blueprint for transformative Christian leadership, serving as a guiding light for all who bear the mantle of leadership in their ministries, businesses, or communities.
From the foundational concept of the "Jethro Principle" to the revolutionary idea of "The Flipped Pyramid," we will embark on a comprehensive exploration of how to become better leaders in our ministries, businesses, and personal lives. Each module delves into a unique aspect of leadership, offering both biblical wisdom and practical guidance to empower and equip leaders for their divine mission.
In our journey, we will consider the exemplary lives of two exceptional leaders, Jesus and the Apostle Paul. Their teachings and actions provide invaluable insights into the delicate balance of competency and character that every Christian leader must strive to achieve.
