The Cross-Shaped Leader (L9)

Ian Rawley explores what it means to be a cross-shaped leader, and how it is important for us to be like Paul and imitate Christ in our leadership.

Many voices have argued in recent years that what the church desperately needs is strong leaders. But strong leaders will only be worth following and worthy of imitation to the extent that they are also cross-shaped leaders. The apostle Paul should be our mentor and his quest to imitate the self-giving, servant leadership of Christ should be our guide.
