What Every Christian Leader Should Know
Leaders are expected to thoughtfully address issues and provide direction when decisions are required. A leader’s knowledge consists of the relevant information they apply to their specific leadership situation.
Aubrey Malphurs highlights that effective leaders must:
1. Know God
2. Understand themselves, including their divine design
3. Understand people and how to work with them
Knowledge was a critical component of God’s preparation of Moses for leadership. In Exodus 4:15, God tells Moses, “I will help both of you (Moses and Aaron) speak and will teach you what to do.”
Competent leaders possess knowledge in three key areas:
1. Intellectual Knowledge: Conscious understanding gained through formal and informal study about leadership and ministry.
2. Experiential Knowledge: Practical insights gained through life and ministry experiences.
3. Intuitive Knowledge: Unconscious wisdom developed through study and leadership experience, stored in the subconscious mind.
