Forging Your Leadership Heart

And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.
— Psalm 78:72 NIV

I'm excited about a new leadership growth resource that's just off the presses, called Forging Your Leadership Heart. As the Psalmist ponders the life of David, he helps us see that leadership is a multifaceted strand, but at its core are three threads: calling, character, and competency. This book tackles the middle thread, character, or the “integrity of heart” that God highlights as part of David’s leadership core. Here is a little more from the introduction:

That integrity is not automatic is evidenced by a multitude of ruined reputations that litter the leadership highway. Charles Spurgeon said, “The beard of reputation, once shorn, is hard to grow again.” The Prince of Preachers was adding his “Amen” to Solomon’s metaphor that some character stains can never be wiped away (Proverbs 6:33). The heart of a leader is serious business. That is why Solomon said, “Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life” (Proverbs 14:23 CSB).

Leadership is a journey of the heart. This 31-day reflective journey helps leaders tend to their heart as they tend to the mission God has entrusted to them, wherever that might be.
