4 C’s of Spiritual Leadership

Short list to see how we’re doing as Christian leaders and to see if one is ready for Christian leaders. 4 C’s taken from Mike Breen‘s Missional Community Field Guideon who can lead a Missional Community. Questions are from our Bridge Church team briefing today as we “spurred one another on to love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). Take the test:
