- Engaged Leaders | BPS4 E12This season four of biblical phronesis showcases three principal church fathers, Paul, Peter, and Polycarp. The early church fathers started out as sinners with features of entitled leaders we see on and off the pulpit today. However, after their individual encounter with the loving grace of God, they ended up as Engaged Leaders who shaped the church. In this season finale, we address: “What made Paul, Peter, and Polycarp engaged leaders for God?” Beloved, Paul, Peter and Polycarp lived and died for the faith, not as entitled but engaged leaders for Jesus Christ. Humility, Love and Grace flowing from their divine encounters made them engaged leaders who shaped the church with time-tested doctrine. Their legacy is still shaping the church today. As a Christian Leader, what legacy will you leave behind?

- Polycarp – the Epistle | BPS4 E11Polycarp was a bishop in words and deeds. Like John and Paul before him, he left letters to reinforce the early church's faith. His letters relay accounts of courage and character. So, in this episode, we focus on: “What does the epistle of Polycarp say?” Beloved, the epistle of Polycarp, although not included in the Bible, says a lot about the person and character of a church leader. Polycarp shaped the church's firm doctrinal purity, unquestionable testimony of faith and legacy of positive influence. Christian leaders of today can certainly emulate him.

- Biblical Phronesis Podcast Mar 27 · 15m Polycarp – the Threshold Leader | BPS4 E10In ancient times, Christian congregations thrived in modern-day Turkey. Just as the roots of Saul of Tarsus can be traced to Turkey, the same can be done for Polycarp, a foremost Apostolic Father. Polycarp, who lived between 69 and 155AD, showed leadership, courage and confidence until death, like Paul before him. He was instructed by John the Beloved, who was close to Jesus. So, in this episode, we focus on: “Who was Polycarp, a threshold leader in the early church?” Beloved, a life of confidence and courage is mandatory in Biblical Leadership. Courage served Polycarp and Paul well. Leaders should learn to stand for the truth without resulting in unholy utterances and activities.

- Paul - the Brave | BPS4 E09The leadership profile of Paul, who lived between 5 and 67AD, shows someone who served God and humanity with courage and confidence. The 13 epistles (minus Hebrews) attest to his erudition and care for people. So, in this episode, we focus on: “Who was Paul as a brave/courageous Church Leader?” Beloved, the life of Paul shows us that what we know does not give us confidence and courage. Instead, what or who we trust gives us confidence and courage. We need divine confidence and courage to lead like Jesus.

- Paul - the Advocate | BPS4 E08Paul applied the power of knowledge in his ministry to advocate for outsiders. An advocate is an expert in presenting and arguing on behalf of others. In the case of Paul, he stood for the non-Jews in his time to win them for Jesus Christ. In this episode, we address: "Who was Paul, the advocate for outsiders)?" Paul shows that standing up for outsiders requires courage backup by erudition (no empty words). Leaders must put down every sign of prejudice to model Jesus with racial justice.

- Paul - the Polymath | BPS4 E07Saul of Tarsus, that became Paul applied the power of knowledge in his ministry. Paul did so, perhaps because he realized that actions and behaviours follow thoughts. In this episode, we address: "Who was Paul, the polymath (the educated man)?" Courage set intellectual talents of Paul on fire. Paul was a writer, speaker, scholar, preacher, linguist, teacher, church planter (apostle), and defender of the faith. Being a polymath served Paul well, and it is serving all godly leaders today.

- Paul - the Humble | BPS4 E06In Acts 9:4, Paul encountered Jesus on his way to Damascus. Jesus asked him, why persecute me? Paul, known as Saul of Tarsus until that encounter, had no ready answer. He was caught flat-footed and down and out for some days. So, in this episode, we address: "Who was Paul when he was down and out in Damascus?" Being 'down and out' is not a leader's end until God says so. Just as Paul did in Damascus, Leaders could self-correct if they do nothing from selfish ambition. Beloved, Saul the 'prayed for' became Paul the 'humble' in Damascus. Distress should produce godly fruit in a leader as it did in Paul. A leader in pain can choose to become a leader in distinction with humility powered by the Grace of God.

- Paul – the Unstoppable | BPS4 E05According to 1 Corinthians 15:9, he was the least of the apostles and unfit even to be called one of them. Yet, the NT shows that in spreading the ‘Good News’, he was uncontainable, and when occasions demanded it, he was enthusiastic and generous (2 Corinthians 8:1-15). His teachings and acts show how leaders (Pastors) should care for the flock. In short, in this episode, we focus on: “Who was Paul as an unstoppable apostle?” Beloved, Paul as an apostle, was relentless in the face of adversity. Oppositions did not stop him, and as such, they do not stop true leaders even when history repeats itself, as demonstrated in the stoning of both Stephen and Paul.

- Biblical Phronesis Podcast Jan 27 · 16m Peter – the Leader | BPS4 E04The leadership profile of Peter, who lived between 1 BC and 64 AD, shows someone who tackled ‘Self’ to serve God and humanity. The four gospels in the NT (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John) repeated the name of Peter more than any other person apart from Jesus Christ. So, in this episode, we focus on: “Who was Peter as a Church Leader?” Beloved, Peter was a church leader who finished well because he upheld the notion that ‘Self must die’ for the greater good. Misplaced self-consciousness, self-confidence, self-absorption, and self-preservation will always fail a leader.

- Peter - the Preacher | BPS4 E03Leaders, who preach God’s Word, face a higher responsibility and liability since God will judge them on the truthfulness and accuracy of messages (Words and Actions). Failure as a preacher of God’s Word brings shame (2 Tim. 2:15) and other condemnations when Pastors ‘give an account’ to God (Heb. 13:17). This notion was not lost on the early church. So, in this episode, we examine: “Who was Peter as a Preacher?” Beloved, as a preacher, Peter was a conscious leader who brought ‘Courage’ and ‘Love’ out of the closet. Love as the superior (excellent) way (1 Corinthians 12:31) should be central to the work of a preacher of God’s Word. Leaders should carry the shield of love.

- Peter - the Chair of the Board | BPS4 E2The chair of the board (COB) usually holds the most power, influence, and authority among people supervising the activities of a firm. Such a fellow provides leadership to directors, managers, and officers. The COB ensures that duties to stakeholders are fulfilled while acting as the link between the board and top management. Peter fulfilled the COB role within the early apostles, especially among the 12. In this episode, we therefore, examine: “Who was Peter as the Chair of the Board among the Apostles?” Beloved, Like Peter, a workingman can become a great leader of men. Others follow and defer to COBs who are authentic, like Peter. Recognitions Music: Nathaniel Bassey Olive Tree Bible APP - AMPC, NLT, NIV, KJV References & Further Readings Gansky, A.

- Peter - the Workingman | BPS4 E1In a departure from previous seasons, this Biblical Phronesis will be about people behind events with mandatory lessons for Christian leaders. People: not historical dates are the golden thread of the season that will showcase exemplary leadership in the face of fire. We, therefore, start with: “Who was Peter as a workingman or who was Peter as a blue-collar church leader?” Beloved, Like Peter, image problems do not limit leadership potential.

- A Leader’s Context | BPS3 E09Preamble A leader’s context is mainly the people in the church that a person leads. Some such people will either follow a leader willingly or not. Because of this reality, a situational leader must know his or her context. The central question for the episode is ‘How do leaders know their ministry context?’ Leadership context depends on the nature or quality of followers. Knowing context goes beyond identity to involve an adequate understanding of ministry (philosophy and circumstance), trust levels, power structure and demography of an organization.

- Influence and Power | BPS3 E06Preamble Influence and power walk together. Power can take the form of influence and vice versa. The central question for the episode is ‘What roles do power play in influencing people?’ The exercise of influence and power produces either good or bad outcomes. With influence, personal power can lead to position power. Without influence, position power cannot lead to personal power. Authentic leaders like Joseph use influence to positively use position and personal power for God and humanity.

The ability and willingness to follow are paramount. The central question for the episode is ‘What are the stages of follower readiness that a leader must know and consider?’ Leadership does not happen without followers.

- Be a Servant Leader | BPS3 E02Preamble There are two biblical metaphors used to illustrate godly leadership by our Lord Jesus Christ. One is a servant, and the other is a shepherd. Both metaphors reveal the motive for leading. The motive question is central to leading like Jesus. The central question for the episode is ‘What does servant leadership look like and how would you know a servant leader when you see one?’ Everyone should know if their personal motive as a leader is to serve or to be served. Servant leaders are not after the throne (to be served); rather they serve God and humanity Recognitions Music: Nathaniel Bassey Olive Tree Bible APP - AMPC, NLT, NIV, KJV References & Further Readings Malphurs, A.

- 3 Personality Examples for Leaders | BPS2 E12Preamble Why pay attention to personality? We need to pay attention to it as it influences character, which is foundational in terms of who we are. The central question for the episode is ‘who are the leaders with the distinct (godly) personalities that leaders can emulate?’ Jeremiah, Paul and our Lord Jesus Christ have distinct personalities. Their character helped them overcome difficult people while delivering divine mandates. Leaders can learn from Jeremiah, Paul and Jesus how to use personality to fulfil destiny.
