Leadership

Here are some of the leaders that I have been inspired by or have been associated with in my life.

 

“12 O’clock High” – a fictitious General Frank Savage had to turn the leadership of the U.S. Army Airforce 918^th Bombardment Group around.  He became a principled leader to accomplish the mission.  The men eventually were inspired with pride and became part of the successful and elite daytime bombing group.  

 

“The Reagan Revolution” – Ronald Reagan was an old-school Republican who changed parties because he saw the dangers of Socialism in the Democratic party.  He also proclaimed the freedom principles of the American constitutional republic and of a free capitalistic economy.

 

“Federal Express” – Fred Smith was an old-school businessman and developed an entirely new service in overnight delivery.  FedEx has grown to provide worldwide service and is a premier example of building a business with a capitalistic, commitment to excellence, economic model.   

 

“Ligonier Ministries” – R.C. Sproul was a teacher of the Bible, Theology, and Philosophy, and he could Communicate and Lead.  He was a five-star leader in Truth.  Ligonier’s mission statement is “to teach, proclaim and defend the holiness of God, to as many people as possible.”  

 

“The Courage to Be Free” – by Governor Ron DeSantis, who leads with character and dedication for ‘America’s Blueprint for Revival’.  He dismantles ‘woke’ ideology with common sense, and constitutionally sound leadership, to protect the families, businesses, and freedom of all Floridians.   

 

Christian Leadership – A Christian leader must first follow Christ.  I seek an ‘old school, biblical, and Spirit-filled’ leadership to inspire other believers to follow Christ.  

- We have the Bible, which is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, incarnated, and thus, irreplaceable Word from God.  

- We must highlight the Trinity, who is God the Creator, Christ the Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit the Sanctifier.  

- We are constantly challenged by the post-Christian culture, which is democratic, secular, woke, and sinful.  The cultural war is part of the greater Spiritual war.  

- We can be Spirit-filled and transformed into the image of Christ when we live out the truth of Scripture and encourage others to do the same.
