Why do so many Christian leaders look nothing like Jesus as they lead? Is it even possible to pursue leadership without doing damage to our souls and hurting the people we're trying to serve? If you have followers, you're a leader. To serve them well, you need to lead well. But that doesn't just mean learning to lead effectively in terms of getting things done; it means learning to lead faithfully, loving God and others with genuine integrity and Christlike character. None of us can be failure-free leaders, but by God's grace, all of us can learn to be faithful leaders. Mission Central is for emerging leaders: both young leaders and those who are getting their start in leadership, regardless of their age. We want to help you start right, leading faithfully from the beginning. Our podcast conversations focus on four elements of healthy Christian leadership: spiritual formation, effective leadership, emotional health, and multi-ethnic community. Our diverse group of guests speak with conviction and wisdom about these topics. Plus, they offer clear next steps to help you put their ideas into practice wherever you lead. Visit missioncentral.church for full interviews, our bi-weekly blog, and info on in-person Christian leadership development events in the Chicago area.

Social action is not an optional aspect of Christian life; it’s an essential component of love for our neighbors. Dr. Ron C. Potter offers his analysis on how Jesus presented this social aspect of his mission. A holistic vision of the Gospel brings together the life of the mind, spiritual formation, and social action.
Dr. Potter is a scholar of African American Christianity in the U.S., having served at the Center for Urban Theological Studies in Philadelphia and Westminster Theological Seminary in Glenside, Pennsylvania. He also happens to be son-in-law to Christian community development pioneers John and Vera Mae Perkins.
Dr. Potter is joined by Bishop Henry Joseph, pastor of Zion Church in Ridgeland, MS, to discuss a theological framework for racism—and how to repent from it.
