PART 2 - Being AGILE in Christian Ministry | Biblical Leadership Principles by John Manoah
I serve in many leadership positions in the Technology field and one question I constantly get asked is, "what is the best and quickest way to get things done?". I would always be like, "If only there was one!". As you know every company on the face of the earth is always looking to be efficient and by efficient I mean - making the highest profit, with little or no waste in the quickest possible time. Agile is one of the concepts that emerged a decade ago to help organizations achieve this and has been very successful too. I had the opportunity to be part of this journey and have helped or been part of the Agile journey of many organizations.
In the past few weeks, I was thinking of adopting Agile into ministry and talk about agility in ministry. In today's podcast, I would like to introduce you to the four recommendations of the Agile Manifesto and see how it relates to the Bible and Christ's teaching and in a way, help improve our efficiency in doing God's work. I would be talking about one in each episode.
In this episode, I wish to answer some questions, clarify a few confusions and also make my position clear from BLI's standpoint on the whole Ravi Zacharias issue.

F-bombs are not unusual in our workplace, schools, public places, movies and sometimes families too. Why are words so important for a Christian and what does the Bible say about using the right words? In this podcast I talk about the current situation and how we as people of faith can keep our words holy.

End-time prophecies and the claims made by the present-day prophets - that the world is going to end, Christ is going to return and the rise of the antichrist is imminent. Should we or should we NOT be concerned about these claims?

Leaders, unlike others, should approach the Bible strategically and grasp wisdom, because what you absorb is going to influence your leadership style. It's crucial to be methodical and disciplined

“Thoughts and attitudes” are the most difficult, or I should say impossible to fake. You cannot feign to have the right thoughts, can you? The underlying message is that as long as we are genuinely committed and good, it will show up in our lifestyle. This is what leaders ought to observe and, as a result, reward genuineness and not popularity. Leadership lessons from Jesus' perspective of the offering of the widow's mites.
