Diversity in Leaders

‘But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)Should church leadership be representative of different groups?  One of the main priorities of our generation is diversity, inclusivity and equal representation in business, media, sport and entertainment. In this session, we look at diversity in church leadership. We discuss how church leadership structures function and whether the church should adopt the same approach as others to keep up with the world around them. Ultimately, we're reminded that the church consists of God's people, it is His Kingdom, and, as Lord and King, we need to keep in step with His Spirit and do things His way.

We have the incredible privilege of preparing her for Him, but with that comes a great responsibility.

This course helps us align our hearts to God’s, because it’s not our church, it’s His. The vision is to see God raise a generation who will live to see His Kingdom come, through the vehicle God has chosen, His church.Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12 and he ministers worldwide.

Here, Mike Davies, Mervis van der Merwe, and Luke Watson explore the ancient patterns of worship revealed in Scripture—worship that is born of the Spirit and anchored in truth. Together, they trace God’s eternal blueprint for His dwelling place: a people built together for His presence. Join us as we rediscover what true worship looks like with Jesus at the centre, returning to God’s unchanging ways in a world of shifting styles and culture. Rooted | Four12 Four12 Global Podcasts Colossians 2:7 (NLT) "Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him."The skill of reading and interpreting our Bibles well is an essential skill. This is increasingly so as we draw closer to Christ’s return and false teaching becomes more widespread and we need to judge what we hear according to the Word. We are really hoping that this resource will equip the saints to develop a solid understanding of God and his kingdom through responsible Bible reading.This is a Four12 podcast.
