Christian Leadership & the Church

Teachings to help the leaders of today's Church

Taste and See Jesus

Ken Fish

In this message, Ken recounts how Nathanael came to know Jesus through his friend Philip. It describes both the internal journey by which someone comes to faith, and it also describes the attitudes of the heart that make one susceptible to the work of the Spirit. This message appeals to those who don’t know the Lord and to those who would like to know him more deeply.

Shepherd Leadership

Ken Fish

Christian leadership is not like leadership in the world. In this message from 1 Peter 5, Ken describes the personality traits and lifestyle characteristics necessary in order that Christian leaders may develop their own walks with Christ but may also effectively lead those whom they shepherd.

Trust as the Currency of Leadership

Ken Fish

In this message, addressed to leaders, Ken talks about the trust quotient in leadership, and how leaders cannot lead their followers beyond the foundation of trust that they have built with them. This material also covers ways of measuring trust or lack thereof, and how to rebuild trust when it has been compromised.
