Christian View of the Seven Leadership Styles

Christian leadership is not merely the management of people. It is the stewardship of truth, character, and the kingdom of God. Drawing from Scripture and the insights of John C. Maxwell and Douglas Groothuis, this article explores seven core leadership styles through a distinctly Christian lens, with an allusion to the 2016 film Risen that highlights the transformative power of the resurrection.

“The cross is not merely a corporate brand for a world religion called 'Christianity' but an ancient tool of suffering, humiliation, and judgment.”
James Collazo, First-Century Faith: Reviving Christian Origins in Belief and Practice

“Just as modern climatology helps us estimate weather patterns, the Holy Spirit helps us learn about God through Scripture and prayer.”
James Collazo, First-Century Faith: Reviving Christian Origins in Belief and Practice

“If I can grasp God objectively, then I do not have faith, but just because I cannot do this, I must have faith. If I wish to stay in my faith, I must take constant care to keep hold of the objective uncertainty, to be "on the 70,000 fathoms deep" but still have faith.”
Søren Kierkegaard

“For too long, we have read Scripture with nineteenth-century eyes and sixteenth-century questions. It's time to get back to reading with first-century eyes and twenty-first-century questions.”
N. T. Wright

“In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. They had a personal and vital relationship with the Lord, and it transformed their lives and the world around them. Then the church moved to Greece, where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome, where it became an institution. Next it moved to Europe where it became a culture, and, finally, it moved to America where it has become an enterprise.”
Richard C. Halverson
