LDR 420: Biblical Learning for Leadership

Class Program
Credits 3

What makes biblical leadership "biblical"? What, if anything, makes leadership in the bible different from leadership in the "world"? Is there anything about biblical leaders-Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Jeremiah, Esther, Jesus, Peter, Paul-that sets them apart from worldly leaders? And, if we aspire to lead in a truly biblical way, what is required of us and how do we prepare ourselves for this "way"? These are the questions at the heart of this three-credit one-semester course. The purpose is to help students grasp essential truths about biblical leadership and prepare for the challenge and responsibility of being a true servant leader of God. This class is an elective for the Military Leadership minor and is open to all students interested in leadership, the Bible, and spiritual growth and maturity.
