3D Leadership

When you watch a movie in 3D it seems to come alive.  There is a fullness about it and a depth that fulfills the experience way beyond a normal 2D film.  What’s the added feature?  Why does it make such a difference?  The 3rd component seems to complete the picture and give it texture and meaning.  You may be on a journey of trying to become a leader.  But it may be of the 2D sort.  Two variables – self and success.  I’d like to invite you to consider 3D leadership.  Add a third component that will give fullness, texture, meaning and completeness to your call as a leader – self, success, and Christ.  You see, adding Christ to the equation keeps you from treating others as just a means to your own success.  It helps you to see both others and yourself as He does – people created with His image and loved by God.  It doesn’t mean you won’t be successful.  Actually it means you will probably have a new understanding of success.  But it takes your leadership beyond simply using others to make you successful.  It puts you in a 3-way relationship where Christ is more important than either success or self.  And that gives completeness because that’s how God made you to function.

I hope you will take advantage of  two special ministry opportunities we’ve begun for you if you are near Azusa:

1.      Exodus: Interactive Dialogue – Sunday nights at 7pm in the LAPC Room.

2.      Drop In Chaplain Visits – Mon and Wed – 3-5pm, Event Center Green Room.

And if you have any prayer requests, just let me know by replying to this message and I’ll have our Prayer Partners pray for you this week.  70 faculty have committed to pray for you.

Blessings on you,
Kevin
