We are tempted to relevance, to power, and the desire to do the spectacular. None of these are wrong in and of themselves, but coupled with unexamined motivation any of them can lead to leadership or life disaster. We must couple our desire for significance with the desire for transformation in the lifting of those we love and lead.
I sometimes struggle with having right motivations. I want to do great and awesome things. I want to live a significant life. For as much godly experience as I have in life, you would think I’d be exempt from temptations involving whacked out motivations, but if Jesus could be tempted in those areas, then it’s probably going to be a lifelong struggle as I continue to put “self” to death and live at a higher level. I must constantly lay down the desire to accomplish great things — yes, you heard me right — and embrace transformation and transformational leadership/ministry as my higher objective. In this episode of the Calibrate Life Podcast, David and Donna discuss Three Critical Temptations Faced by Every Leader and how they practically struggle with and navigate these temptations in their own life as they press toward joyful living.
