Friends,
It's exciting to be launching off the newest podcast found on the internet! In the Pete Brookshaw Leadership Podcast I'll be exploring many different aspects of leadership and life with the aim to encourage you as you embark on making a difference in the world.
One day I heard a whisper in my mind and it said, "I want you to mobilise an Army to change the world." And so, here we are. A podcast. An opportunity. An attempt to equip you and challenge you and inspire you.
We live in unprecedented times. Our world looks fundamentally different than what it did only two weeks ago. So, how do we navigate our way through this minefield of uncertainty?
In Episode #1, I'm talking about building a firm foundation. Standing strong as a leader.
So, do me a favour, go on and have a listen now, to Episode #1 of the Pete Brookshaw Leadership Podcast.
SHOWNOTES of EPISODE #1 - I'm Still Standing
Leaders build a strong foundation in their circles of influence
Christian leaders build their house upon the rock. They model their behaviour on the very teachings of Jesus, as found in the Sermon on the Mount.
Blessed are...
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons and daughters of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(See Matthew 5:3-10)
Leaders are generous and hospitable. Leaders turn the other cheek. Leaders don't say, "An eye for an eye, and tooth for tooth," they love their enemies, and pray for those who do wrong against them.
We are challenged to build our house upon the rock...
The rain will fall.The stream will rise.The winds will blow.
And your ability to stand strong in the midst of all this, will be based on whether you heard the words of Jesus, and not only that, but chose to put those words into practice.
I encourage you to stand strong in the midst of the shaking. I encourage you to be courageous, focused and intentional about choosing to build a solid foundation that puts you in good stead as the challenges come before you.
I'm praying for you right now. God bless you.
~ Captain Pete Brookshaw.
