Over the course of my life I have met hundreds if not not thousands of leaders. I have been involved in various levels of leadership and read a wide variety of books on leadership.

Most of the leadership principles are about one man or woman having a vision and then everyone else getting on the bus in order to fulfill the vision of this one man or woman. This seems to be the case inside and outside of the church structures and systems we have created.

I am currently in a place and position where we have a team of individuals that are genuinely trying to learn what it look likes to be a team and have a flat leadership structure verses the typical pyramid-top-down system. Its more of what I like to call a “Holy Experiment” rather than an actual proven model.

Its almost like a game of chess where the king is the single most important piece on the board and everyone else is trying to ensure the king is represented well by moving forward or adjusting when necessary to complete the objective of the game.

In our case Christ really is the King and head of his body.

The two questions I get asked the most in our community is “Who is the lead pastor here?” & “What is your role here?” It brings me great joy to being able to answer “No one person. We have an amazing team here and we would love to have you hang out and see what happens”

Although what we are doing at this stage is not definable it has been a dream of mine for the past eleven years. I am extremely ecstatic about what the Holy Spirit is doing here in Asia and how our small organic community has the potential to bring a reformation to a region known for religious extremism but lacking the power to change anything.

A few videos that I have watched lately seem to point to the fact that we are on the right track.

Just discovered this crazy Irish guy Pete Rollins recently and appreciate the way he views the Kingdom and leadesrhip….

Also just saw this one from my friends at Verge Network

I also love how Alan Hirsch views himself as a missionary to western world. Much needed and feel we will see many more people (probably Asians & South Americans) answer the same call within the next five years.
