In organizations I have had the privilege of leading, I have had to make numerous hiring, firing, and promotion decisions. As a Christian, I needed to go to the Scripture to help me make biblically-sound, God-honoring decisions. If you are a Christian leader thinking about hiring somebody in your organization, I’ve got some thoughts for you on this episode of The Podcast.
The Scriptures I referenced in this episode are from Acts 1:15-26 and Acts 6:1-6.
Here is the passage I quoted from the chapter ‘The Wrong Ladder’ in Shepherd Leadership—
God frequently picks people we would consider the least qualified. He sometimes has one in an unglamorous position for years, and sometimes He catapults some- body immediately to the top. Sometimes God will keep His hand-selected individual in a prominent leadership position until death, and sometimes He will remove that person to a place of obscurity after only a short time.
God’s ladder of success is nothing like ours!
I’ve shared a couple of other blog posts and videos about this idea of our ladder of success versus what the Bible calls success. You may want to check out:
