Dear Ministry Leader,
We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive, FREE Zoom session with renowned teacher and author Dr. Mark Chironna on the vital topic of "Recovering the Leadership of Jesus" on Wednesday, April 9th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time (USA/Canada).
A Timely Message for Today's Church Leaders
In this powerful session, Dr. Chironna will address the critical shift many churches have experienced—moving from biblical, shepherd-based leadership toward corporate and consumer-driven models. Drawing from his profound teaching series on this subject, he'll explore:
How contemporary church leadership has adopted corporate hierarchies focused on power, status, and control
The contrast between modern leadership models and Jesus's example of servanthood, humility, and self-emptying as revealed in Philippians
Why prioritizing efficiency and charisma over depth and character has led to a leadership crisis
The biblical call to "cruciformity"—a cross-shaped leadership based on integrity, humility, and relinquishing power
How we can embody Christ's values of downward mobility and find true authority through service
Why This Matters
As leaders facing unprecedented challenges in ministry today, we need to reassess our leadership foundations. Dr. Chironna warns that our current trajectory has produced toxic systems that foster leaders who crave idolatry rather than exemplify Christ-like character. Integrating insights from leadership expert Barbara Kellerman, sociological perspectives on church culture, and rich biblical texts like the Christ hymn of Philippians, he presents a compelling case for transformation.
This session will challenge and equip you to reject status-seeking leadership models and instead embrace the "cruciformity" that Jesus modeled—a leadership style characterized by shepherding, authentic God-given authority, and living fully into Christ's story. Dr. Chironna believes this shift is essential not just for organizational health but for recovering the very essence of Christian leadership.
