Top 30 Tweets from The Top 10 Leadership Conversations in the Bible

I have had the pleasure of reading Steve Moore's book "The Top 10 Leadership Conversations in the Bible." As I read, I shared twitter posts of some of the most significant ideas he shared. I hope my curated list of my top 30 tweets from the many more I shared. If you haven't read the book yet, I would encourage you to purchase a copy and share your own insights from the book with others who could benefit.

  9. "Some of the loudest voices in the United States against #refugee resettlement are Jesus-followers. The core of their message is a desire to keep our country safe. Welcoming refugees, they believe, is just too risky.” @MooreMissions #RefugeesWelcome #risk #Top10BibleLeaders
  10. "The opportunity to make a significant impact almost always comes with significant risk. In fact, the two are directly related.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders #risk #innovation
  11. "By his very nature, God is on mission. True #worship is both the goal and the fuel of #missions, and is therefore central to Christian #leadership.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders
  12. "Peter is known for walking on water with Jesus. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood in fire with Jesus. In both cases, it was the presence of Jesus that made the difference." @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders
  13. "The first responsibility of spiritual #leaders is to lead followers into a relationship with God, fostering the kind of intimacy that flows from true worship.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders

  16. "When #leaders connect their responsibility for #leadership to God, their attention naturally turns to the followers he has entrusted to them.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders
  17. "The 1st response for #leaders walking through character-based failure is #repentance of sin. The 1st response for competency-based failure is acceptance of #responsibility. From there, regardless of the context for #failure, #resilience is key.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders

  27. "Perspective is to life what a scale is to a map.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders
  28. "Humility & its companions of dependency & faith often fly in the face of our #leadership instincts. We tend to take charge & feel responsible to make something happen, rather than putting our faith in what God can do through us.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders
  29. "Hope is not a strategy. But leaders without hope almost never develop a good strategy.” @MooreMissions #Top10BibleLeaders
