A Mystic Leader’s Crash Course: Introduction

Welcome back.

The role of a leader is to describe the world we live in and to show others how to live in that world with moral authenticity. As Christ following leaders begin to see the world through the life of Christ and begin to reorient their own lives, they find themselves increasingly compelled to join with others on a quest to save the universe.

I would like to suggest four images to 21st century leaders as a help in describing the world in which we live.

darkness
light
wind
clouds

I’ll unwrap these over the next few days.

I like the idea of where this is going. However, in addition to describing the world we live in, I believe a leaderâ€™s role is to create, with others, the world we live in. And itâ€™s much easier to describe something youâ€™ve created.

Also, a friend of mine will be in town Feb. 12 and he wants to visit some communities of faith that are on a quest to engage 20-something unbelievers. does anyone know where he should go? Talk to you soon. Have a great day!!
