Raising up leaders in a replant situation is important. Today we highlight nine characteristics to look for in potential replant leaders.

Today’s Listener Question:

FROM MARCO

As I have begun to develop leaders, what character qualities should you look for in potential leaders that are not only walking alongside of you in a replant but previous to replanting this church, have seen hurt and pain in the church? How can you help to develop confidence as we move forward?

Episode Highlights:

• When you are replanting a church, you don’t need a pipeline as much as you need a lifeline.
• Church leaders should have a love for the church—even in all its disfunction.
• Church leaders shouldn’t only want to lead people, but shepherd them as well.
• “Church members will follow your leadership to the degree they trust your shepherding.”
• The more that someone is praying, the less they are likely to be critical.
• The bar for how we should love is how Christ loved the Church.

The nine characteristics you should look for in leaders are:

1. Emotional intelligence
2. Deep love for the church
3. A shepherd’s heart
4. Committed to prayer
5. Able to keep confidence
6. Supporting spouse
7. Able to teach
8. Exemplary lifestyle
9. Prioritizes family
