Whats challenging your leadership? The Bible has an answer!
If youre trying to influence even one person, you are a leader. And that means youre facing challenges. The more you lead, the greater the number of challenges you face. How do you solve them?
Dr. John C. Maxwell has been exploring these issues and helping leaders with them for decades. Where did Maxwell, recently named the #1 leadership and management expert in the world by Inc. magazine, gain such insight into leadership? From the Bible! John asserts that the Bible is the greatest leadership book that has ever been written.
In this study, John addresses twenty-one of the most common issues leaders face. Starting with internal issues such as identity, purpose, pride, and self-leadership, and moving on to others such as criticism, change, diversity, teamwork and recruiting, John shows how leaders in the Bible addressed these issues with boldness and clarity, or, conversely, how they failed to lead. Either way, the lessons are clear. You can improve your leadership for not only your own sake, but also for that of your team and those you serve.
In this twenty-one lesson study, John guides you through Scriptures that reveal the challenges leaders face and the solutions available to them. Each lesson includes:
Start with the issues where you most need help, complete the entire study as a course in problem solving, or meet with your team, using it as their next training in leadership development. 21 Leadership Issues in the Bible can help you become a better leader in any area of your life as you seek to influence others for Christ.

The Nature of Real Power (Matthew 20:2028)
I want to say thank you to Charlie Wetzel and the rest of the team who assisted me with the formation and publication of this book. And to the people in my organizations who support it. You all add incredible value to me, which allows me to add value to others. Together, were making a difference!
Early in my career when I first began teaching people in church about leadership, they were often surprised. I was young and inexperienced, and the ideas I was able to convey seemed to be beyond what I should know. Later when I started writing about leadership, people gravitated to the message. And when I started writing and speaking to a more general audience, people used to ask, Where in the world did you learn all this?
I was happy to let them in on a secret: everything I know about leadership I learned from the Bible.
Not only is the Bible the greatest book ever written, it is the greatest leadership book ever written. Everything you could ever want to learn about leadershipvision, purpose, thinking strategy, communication, attitude, encouragement, mentoring, follow-throughis all there. You just need to be open to what God wants to teach you. As it says in Isaiah 55:11,
My word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Gods word always fulfills his purpose. If you have felt a stirring to become a better leader or if someone has tapped your shoulder and asked you to lead, God will help you.
I am excited for you as you begin this journey of leadership development through the Word of God. Ive chosen 21 leadership issues that I believe every leader faces. I have included a brief excerpt from one of my books explaining the issue, and followed it with three carefully selected biblical case studiessome positive, some negativethat offer insight into the issue. After you read each of these passages from the Bible, you will answer study questions prompting you to really dig into the Scripture and learn about leadership from it.
This study guide is designed to be more than just a theoretical exercise. Its meant to help you become a better leader able to practice better leadership with others. To help facilitate that, you will be directed to reflect on how you can apply the leadership lessons to your own life. You will also develop a specific action item to help you follow through and improve your leadership.
You can easily go through this study guide on your own and improve your leadership ability. But I encourage you to do this with a group. Theres nothing like learning with other like-minded people who desire to grow and develop their leadership skills. To help you with this process, Ive included group discussion questions at the end of each lesson.
My recommendation is that you gather a group of people to engage in the process together. Before every meeting, each of you should complete the study questions, reflection, and action item on your own for that lesson. Then gather together as a group and answer the discussion questions and share what youve learned. I believe youll find that you learn better and enjoy this process more in a group.
May God bless you as enjoy this journey.

You Have Great Value Because God Values You
Youve probably heard people say, You had to see it to believe it! Thats true in many situations. But when it comes to a persons potential, the opposite is actually true: they have to believe it in order to see it. Unfortunately, many of us dont see or cultivate the possibilities God put in us. Our low opinion of ourselves keeps us from believing we could ever blossom into something wonderful. Thats unfortunate, because low self-esteem puts a ceiling on potential. If you want to achieve your leadership potential, you must value yourself as God values you.
You are valuable to God because of who you are: you were made in Gods image, according to his likeness. You are valuable to him because of what you cost: even before you were born, Jesus gave everything to redeem you. You are valuable because of what you can become: before you took your first breath, God had a plan for you.
Accepting just how much God values us begins when we understand just how well he knows us. He knows everything about us, from before we were born until now. He sees all of our weaknesses, mistakes, and wrong motives. And he places the highest value on us anyway. In fact, he chooses to use us not in spite of our weaknesses, but because of them. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9, his power is made perfect in weakness. God is glorified when we allow him to work through us.
Nothing can make someone more unlikelyeven unwillingto lead than feelings of inadequacy. But God doesnt choose leaders based only on their natural talent or ability. Neither does he choose them based on their age or experience. God chooses leaders based on their availability, not their ability; on their willingness to walk in obedience to him, not their own strength.
Leaders who see themselves through Gods eyes are able to find their identity in him. This gives them confidence and courage. They become intentional about living a life that matches who they are by virtue of their relationship with Christ. As they discover and embrace their unique gifts, they are able to use those gifts to influence others and add value to their lives. Finally, as they accept and surrender their shortcomings, they begin a never-ending growth journey. They keep growing, keep making a difference in this world, and keep adding value to others lives. You matter. You have value. Start living like it today and never stop.
