Overview

Ask yourself this question: What character qualities define a godly leader?

The question leaves out too much. Asking only about character seems inadequate. What about personality, communication skills, IQ, education, previous experience, and more . . . right?

Author Crawford Loritts answers this question with four simple words: brokenness, communion, servanthood, and obedience.

These four characteristics provide the framework for Leadership as an Identity. Examining each trait, Loritts undermines the pervasive and unbiblical assumptions about leadership.

Loritts imparts timely wisdom, correction, and direction. God doesn’t look for leaders like the world does. He looks for disciples.
