11 Killer Resources For Free Christian Leadership Material

When I first began attempting to run a Christian business, I was lost. I wanted to be a Christian leader, but I did not know exactly what that looked like. As the leader of the company, I knew I had to model what I wanted our company to look like if I expected it to change. I wanted Christian leadership material to read, but I had no idea where to go to find it.

No Easy Search

Unfortunately, I did not find a website that listed a bunch of resources. Instead, I had to stumble across each of these resources one at a time. In some cases, one resource led me to another. Over the years, I have put together quite a reading and listening library of Christian leadership material.

In an effort to make it a little easier on you, I have put together my top 11 resource sites. I have tried to mix it up a little between blogs, podcasts, videos, and whitepapers. This list is most certainly not exhaustive, but it is some of the best you will find.

Christian Leadership Is Not Automatic

It really does not matter if you are at the top of your company or just getting started in your career. If you want to grow in Christian leadership, then you must take action on your own. Very rarely is anyone going to do it for you, and even then it will not work. You have to want it on your own!

You need to commit to digging into just a couple of these Christian leadership material resources listed above. Don’t bite off more than you can chew, but commit to reading or listening to something from one of these sites on a daily basis. Even if you only carve out 15 minutes a day, you will still see a difference.

Others Will Notice

Not only will you see a difference, those around you will see a difference. I am not an expert in Christian leadership – not by a long shot. However, when former employees make it a point to tell me that I do not appear to be the same guy they worked for several years ago, I know something is working.

I know to give God the credit. But I also know that He is not going to increase my Christian leadership ability without my participation. I must want it and I must be willing to do something about it! If I do my part, He will honor my efforts.

Act Now!

Do me a favor and check out these sites. Spend some time and invest in your own Christian leadership so that you are ready when God calls your number to make the big play! You will not regret it!

Which of these are new to you?
