このコンテンツについて

 Leading FOR Jesus disconnected FROM Jesus makes no sense. Your influence was never meant to run dry—it was meant to flow from the wellspring of God’s Word, not just the latest leadership books. On the Bible Leadership Podcast, we open God's Word and connect it directly to the real challenges of leading people today. Whether you’re leading in the church, at work, or at home, you’ll discover timeless biblical wisdom, practical insights, and encouragement to lead with both strength and humility. This podcast is all about one thing: connecting your leadership to the Bible and the Bible to your leadership. Because the truth is—if your leadership isn’t grounded in God’s Word, it won’t last. But when it is, it can change lives for eternity.© 2025 Bible Leadership Podcast キリスト教 スピリチュアリティ マネジメント マネジメント・リーダーシップ 個人的成功 経済学 聖職・福音主義 自己啓発

    #63 The People Factor, Pt 1 | When Teams Click
    2025/11/26
    You were never meant to lead alone—God builds healthy teams through chemistry, character, and the courage to surround yourself with the right people.

    In this episode of the Bible Leadership Podcast, Mark and Erica unpack what “chemistry” on a team really is and why it matters so much for an effective team. They talk about attraction (actually liking the people you serve with), responsiveness (people who take initiative), and complementary gifts that make the whole team stronger. Along the way, they pull in examples from Scripture—David and Jonathan, Paul and Barnabas, Moses and Aaron, Samson, Rehoboam, and more—to show what happens when leaders choose their people well… and when they don’t. You’ll also hear real stories from Mark and Erica’s 20+ years of serving together, including mistakes, hard seasons, and the gift of teammates who tell you the truth.

    📋 Key Takeaways
    • Not every good person is your person. You can love someone as a brother or sister in Christ and still admit, “We’re not the right mix for this team or this season,” without shaming them or yourself.
    • Filling roles out of desperation creates long-term pain. Hiring or promoting someone because you’re in a rush—or because you’re overly optimistic and ignore red flags—often leads to messy “unplugging” later that hurts people and stalls ministry.
    • You need three circles around you:
      • Your core team (the people you lead with)
      • Peers outside your org who get your world and can say anything to you
      • Coaches who are farther down the road and can tell you when an idea is brilliant… or dumb
    💬 Quotes & Soundbites
    1. “You can love someone deeply and still admit, ‘We’re not the right mix on this team.’ Not every good person is your person.”
    2. “If you fill a role out of desperation, you rarely get a miracle—you usually get a mess you’ll have to undo later.”
    3. “If you really want the full counsel of God, you need teammates, peers, and coaches. God doesn’t give everything to one person—He speaks through the body.”
    4. “The leader is obligated to get God what God wants. Have a great team if you can—but if you can’t and you still have to obey, obey anyway.”
    📖 Scripture Tie-Ins
    • 1 Corinthians 12:18 – “God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.”
    • Proverbs 13:20 – “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.”
    • Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 – “Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”
    • Narrative references:
      • David & Jonathan – 1 Samuel 18–20
      • Abigail & David – 1 Samuel 25
      • Samson – Judges 13–16
      • Rehoboam & his advisors – 1 Kings 12
      • Moses, Aaron, and Hur – Exodus 17

    The people around you will shape your ministry more than your talent ever will. Surround yourself with those who share your spirit, strengthen your family, and remind you of Jesus. Don’t rush into chemistry that doesn’t fit—wait for the people God provides. Family first, inner circle strong, team aligned, and Christ at the center.

    #62 Breakneck Pace, Pt 3 | Overloaded to Ordered
    2025/11/19
    You can’t lead like Jesus at a breakneck pace—so chunk your time, guard your calendar, and build Sabbath rhythms that protect your family and your soul. In this episode, Mark and Erica get super practical about how to slow your life down without dropping your calling. They unpack “chunking” your day into focused blocks, protecting a daily family chunk, and refusing to let every open slot on your calendar be fair game. They also talk about disappointing people well, renegotiating deadlines, and how Sabbath rhythms, mini-getaways, and solitude keep you from burning out. If you’ve ever felt like ministry, leadership, or life is going way faster than your soul can handle, this one’s for you. https://bibleleadership.com/quick-links/ 📋 Key Takeaways Chunk your life, not just your work. Break your day into 5–7 “chunks” (time blocks) by category: preaching/creative work, leadership, delegating/communication, family, rest, etc. Stay in one chunk at a time so your brain, body, and spirit can slow down and actually hear God about that one area. Open slots don’t mean you’re available. Just because your calendar is open doesn’t mean people get to own it. Put appointments with yourself and Jesus on your calendar, be firm about boundaries, and only have meetings with a clear win. Reduce unnecessary recurring meetings and push appropriate ones to email, audio, or other staff. Sabbath and “mini-Sabbaths” keep you from breaking. Rhythms like scheduled time off before you’re totally fried, post-holiday getaways, intentional spouse-only trips, and weekly Sabbath space all slow you down enough to remember God is sovereign and productivity is not your identity (Matthew 11:28–30; Exodus 20:8–11). 💬 Quotes & Soundbites “Open slots does not mean you’re available. If God gave you certain things to do, you’re going to have to say ‘no’ in order to do them excellently.”“I do have an appointment then—it’s just with me and Jesus, and you can’t come into our meeting.”“We’re trying to crush goals while saying we believe in the sovereignty of God. Sometimes He stalls things on purpose so they go better later.”“Ministry is something we do, but you are more important than ministry.” (speaking about his kids) 🕐 Rough Timestamps 0:00 – 0:32 – Intro: What is a “breakneck pace” and why it kills Bible-centered leadership0:32 – 3:30 – What “chunking” actually means and how Mark organizes his preaching, leadership, and delegation chunks3:30 – 6:30 – Family as a non-negotiable daily chunk; how the Carter family handled evenings and changing life stages6:30 – 9:00 – Threat: Neglecting your family for ministry; resentment, tension, and the “branch you’re sitting on”9:00 – 12:30 – Calendar hacks: appointments with yourself, saying “my calendar doesn’t allow that,” and cutting meetings with no clear win12:30 – 14:30 – Using tools like Calendly, leveraging your team, and accepting that you will disappoint people14:30 – 17:10 – Not everything fits in today’s chunk: renegotiating deadlines, trusting your future chunks, and leading your team with clarity about due dates17:10 – 18:50 – Cal Newport’s Slow Productivity and resisting the addiction to “more and faster”18:50 – 21:30 – Accepting that some things won’t get done, letting God be sovereign over your to-do list, and confronting your productivity idols21:30 – 24:30 – Sabbath and slow rhythms: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, planning breaks before burnout, and post-holiday getaways24:30 – 27:00 – Marriage getaways, clearing off the “sludge” of ministry, and building slowness into the calendar27:00 – 29:00 – Henry Nouwen, Matthew 11, and Jesus’ unhurried yoke: learning His pace, not just His work 📖 Scripture Tie-Ins Matthew 11:28–30 – “Come to me… and you will find rest for your souls.” 1 Timothy 3:4–5 – Leaders must manage their own household well. 🛠️ Next Steps for Listeners Design Your Daily Chunks. Write down your current responsibilities and group them into 5–7 categories (e.g., Deep Work/Preaching, Leadership, Communication, Family, Admin, Rest).Block them into your calendar as actual appointments. Name them clearly: “Deep Work – Sermon Prep,” “Family Chunk,” “Leadership Decisions,” etc. Protect One Family Chunk Every Day. Decide when your daily family chunk will be (e.g., 6–9 p.m.).Tell your spouse/kids: “This block is for you. Ministry is something I do, but you’re more important than ministry.”Guard it like you would a meeting with your board. Audit Your Meetings This Week. For every recurring meeting, ask: “What is the win? Does this person really need me? Can this move to email, audio, or another leader?”Cancel or downgrade at least one recurring meeting and redirect that time to your highest calling chunk. Renegotiate One Unrealistic Deadline. Identify a task or project that...

    #61 Breakneck Pace, Part 2 | Too Fast to Hear
    2025/11/12
    Lasting ministry isn’t built by going faster—it’s built by abiding deeper. Mark and Erica get practical about the dangers of leading at a breakneck pace—hero-complex, thin defenses against sin, and drifting into “man’s wisdom” over God’s. They unpack how prayer, Scripture, and Sabbath keep leaders grounded, how to disciple a team into healthy rhythms, and why slowing down actually increases trust in God. Expect honest stories, biblical guardrails, and simple, repeatable practices for a rest-first leadership culture. 📋 Key Takeaways Impress vs. Impact: You can impress from a distance, but you impact up close—healthy leaders model rest and dependence, not nonstop hustle (cf. John 15:5). Hero-Mode is Hazardous: When pace rises, defenses thin and temptation spikes; accountability and humility are non-negotiables (1 Cor. 10:12; 1 Cor. 1:19). Man’s Wisdom Autopilot: Competence and knowledge are good, but dependence is better; without abiding, our “wins” don’t last (2 Pet. 1:4–7; 1 Cor. 13:1). Rested = Smart & Strong: Sabbath, time off after big pushes, and “camp time” seasons form a culture where creativity, discernment, and holiness thrive (Gen. 2:2–3; Mark 2:27). Only Do What Only You Can Do: Early leaders should explore broadly, then narrow to the two or three God-assignments—and build a home team that frees you to do them (Acts 6:2–4; 1 Cor. 12). 💬 Quotes & Soundbites "You can impress people from a distance, but you can only impact them up close." (01:11) - Dr. Carter quoted Rick Warren while explaining that if leaders truly wanted to impact people, they needed to model a healthy, sustainable pace rather than just appearing tireless. "The moment that I think that I am sufficient with my wisdom, I've already jacked it up." (04:59) - This was his direct response when asked about the difference between man's wisdom and God's wisdom, emphasizing that self-sufficiency was an immediate failure. "You can't bear more fruit than you have roots." [11:35] "Relying on God to do it teaches you that he does it." [31:24] 🕐 Timestamps 0:00 – Intro + why Part 2 matters 1:11 – The hero temptation & why pace thins your defenses 3:10 – Humble leadership: play the long game 5:00 – “Man’s wisdom” vs. God’s wisdom; posture of dependence 9:30 – What hurry does to prayer & Scripture (lean, perfunctory) 11:25 – Abide in Christ for fruit that lasts (John 15) 13:20 – Long-term fallout: sin, lack of accountability, church hurt 16:20 – Early warning signs: stress, mis-ordered loves (politics/hobbies) 18:05 – Leadership wins when you name busyness and slow down 19:30 – Discipling your team into rest rhythms; staff “camp time” 22:10 – “The rested are smart and strong” culture 23:10 – “Only do what only you can do” (young leaders → narrowing focus) 24:58 – Build your home team & align family around God’s call 31:05 – Slowing down increases trust: God really does the work 31:55 – Close: God gives the growth (1 Cor. 3:6–7) 📖 Scripture Tie-Ins John 15:5 – “Apart from Me you can do nothing.” 2 Peter 1:4–7 – Add to your faith… knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness. 1 Corinthians 1:19 – God frustrates the wisdom of the wise. 1 Corinthians 13:1 – Without love, noise not impact. 1 Kings 19:11–13 – God’s voice in the gentle whisper, not the frenzy. Matthew 6:33; Philippians 1:6 – Seek first; He completes the work. 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 – We plant and water; God gives the growth. 🛠️ Next Steps for Listeners Do / Reflect / Pray Sabbath this week. Pick a 24-hour window to stop, delight, and worship. Guard it like a meeting with Jesus. Audit your pace. Circle the top two things only you can do; delegate or delay the rest for 30 days. Dependence rhythm. Pray daily: “Jesus, I renounce self-sufficiency. I choose to abide and receive Your wisdom today.” Early warning check - Where am I stressed and not offloading to Jesus? What “good things” (politics, hobbies, projects) are crowding first love? Who are my five smooth stones (people God’s given me for the long game)? Team practice. If you lead others, schedule a post-push slow week (“camp time”) and publicly celebrate Sabbath stories. Suggested follow-ups & resources Part 1: Breakneck Pace (previous episode) for the backstory and warnings. Rule of Life template (create your daily/weekly rhythms). Books: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry (Comer), Leading on Empty (Cordeiro). Bible Reading Plan: John 14–17 (abiding & the Spirit).
