Bible Leadership Podcast [BLP] | Podcast Guru

Details

Too often, Christian leaders adopt leadership principles the world applauds and import them straight into the church—without stopping to ask to what degree they align with Scripture. Over time, that disconnects leadership from the truth of God’s Word. The Bible Leadership Podcast exists to reverse that flow. We start with leadership principles drawn from the Bible and apply them to real life—church, work, and everything in between. Our mission is simple: connect your Bible to your leadership, and your leadership back to your Bible.

Ep 82: The Siren Song Of Being Awesome | Lessons from LeaderLab

If your leadership only “works” when people approve of you, you’re not just tired, you’re being discipled by the wrong story.

Ep 81: Your Ministry Cannot Outrun Your Soul | Lessons from LeaderLab

Your leadership can look strong while your soul is quietly shrinking.

When the pace stays high and the inner life stays shallow, we start leading on autopilot, pulling “old manna” instead of fresh guidance from God, and we begin to pay the price through dryness, anxiety, defensiveness, and burnout. We build the conversation around Pete Scazzero’s Emoti...

Ep 80: Optimism Without Guardrails Gets You Spanked | Lessons from LeaderLab

A lot of leadership pain doesn’t come from a lack of skill. It comes from a gap in character that stays hidden until it crashes into real life: criticism you didn’t expect, a public mistake you can’t undo, an emotional blowup, or a relationship you didn’t mean to strain. Mark and Erica pull back the curtain on those moments and ask the deeper question Christian leaders often miss: what is God actually trying to train in us right now? We dig into a challenging idea from LeaderLab at Fierce Ch...

Ep 79: Hidden Seasons Keep Us Humble | Lessons from LeaderLab

Most leaders don’t crash because they lacked gifting. They crash because their inner life couldn’t handle attention. We sit down as Carter and Erica talk about a core principle of biblical leadership: God entrusts leadership to people who are learning to live under his authority. That sounds simple until you’re overlooked, eager to be seen, or asked to obey when you’d rather do things your way. We dig into why “delegated authority” changes how you lead, why confidence matters but overco...

EP 78: The Leadership Ceiling You Can’t See | Lessons from LeaderLab

Your leadership potential is a seed—but only intentional development turns it into something that actually helps people. Most leaders think their gifting is enough. It’s not. In this conversation, Mark and Erica unpack the difference between being naturally gifted and actually being developed. They walk through why leaders plateau, how pride sneaks in, and why God often uses pressure, pain, and people to stretch your capacity. 📋 Key TakeawaysGiftedness is a seed, not a finished product ...
