Summary

Everything rises and falls on the character and inner life of the leader.

The apostle Paul seemed to believe so as well. He writes to his spiritual son Timothy that “whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.” (1 Tim. 3:1)

I believe the great need of our day is for us to become godly, highly-differentiated leaders while developing other leaders in the same way.

In today's episode, I share five marks of a highly-differentiated leader and how to start becoming one today. Truth be told - it's hard work. But MUCH harder should you avoid the work.

Highly-differentiated leadership is the pathway to freedom, a lighter yoke, less worry, better relationships, clearer goals, and more joy!

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Pete Zazzar.
0:05.0	I want to welcome you today to the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcasts.
0:08.0	Great to be with you.
0:09.0	So our theme today is the five marks of a godly, highly differentiated leader.
0:15.0	The five marks of a godly, highly differentiated leader.
0:19.0	This will be a part one of two just because it is such a vast topic.
0:23.6	And what I'm doing here is I am combining the riches of Paul's clear instruction in 1 Timothy 3 in particular,
0:33.6	and mentions also in 1st, Timothy 5 and then Titus, the qualities of a godly
0:39.1	leader. And then I'm adding the word highly differentiated, which actually comes out of family
0:43.3	systems theory, but it's actually quite helpful way of looking at what Paul, I believe,
0:49.0	is trying to get at here. So obviously, scripture is God breathe, that's our authority.
0:54.6	And one of the wonders and gifts of social sciences is it enables us to actually get a fresh
1:00.5	lens to look at some of the teachings of scriptures.
1:04.2	So obviously, the scriptures are authority.
1:05.6	Social sciences come and go.
1:07.4	But family systems theory and differentiation in particular is a very helpful concept to get at
1:12.7	some of the riches found in scripture. So this is hard work that we're going to be engaged in here
1:19.1	in the crucible of growing into godly, highly differentiated leaders. But let me encourage you,
1:24.6	this is hard to do, but it's even harder not to do it. But longing and praying that you will have the same experience I've had over the decades here
1:33.8	is that by engaging this material, there's a freedom that God has for you.
1:38.9	There's an easy yoke of Jesus to walk into as a leader.
1:42.2	Life actually becomes easier as you grow in godliness and differentiation.
