Thanks Jonny for your article. For me leaders (in or out of a formal vocation) simply attract people to God. You or I don’t need to be a leader for this, I don’t think Jesus was a formal leader? I think there are no experts of the soul, there is only the Spirit. So as you have said, relationship is important. I’m enjoying the sparking of healthy curiosity in conversation.
That’s a great point Andy - I’m writing this week about the modern Christian obsession with leadership. Being a leader is fundamentally the compassionate nurturing of those who follow. Much leadership now is trying to ‘get’ followers, or ‘leading’ without followers.
