In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins is joined by David Platt, author of Radical, Counter Culture, and Something Needs to Change. During their conversation, they discuss what a prayer gathering looks like and seeking humility, wisdom, and courage. BEST QUOTES “I need to remind myself that the world doesn’t look like what I see around myself every day.” “It was awesome to see the Lord, even in McLean Bible Church, do a work where we were reminded in a powerful way that Jesus is the center of all that we do.” “If I am not in community with some people who have different perspectives on a variety of issues than me, then I am missing out.” “I found in my own life that spiritual discipline and physical discipline go together in many ways.” “If I’m not careful, I will check my email right before dinner and then I am thinking about that and robbing my family of their time.” “My wife and I use the same Bible reading plan and it’s been so good processing the same word from God.” “Our family worship is more Bible story, singing goofy songs, and usually ends up with us wrestling on the floor.” “Especially when it comes to leadership, when you are in a position of leadership it’s so easy to lose and not have humility.” “I don’t want to be wise and timid, because then I will never do what God is calling me to do.” “I want wisdom to know God’s will and courage to walk in it.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network Radical by David Platt Counter Culture by David Platt Something Needs to Change by David Platt Making Disciples Podcast This Episode’s Sponsor: With Ministry Grid’s library of over 3,500 training videos and 800 courses, it’s now simpler than ever to train every volunteer and leader in your church.
