Show and Tell, pt3 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 215 SHOW NOTES 2 Timothy 1:13 Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. People walk out what they really believe. When we see people do things, what they are doing is manifesting what they really believe. We walk out not what we have said “amen” to, but what we believe deep down. Paul is challenging Timothy to walk out and be sure of what h

Show and Tell, pt2 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 214 SHOW NOTES 2 Timothy 2:2, “The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” Timothy was with Paul and knew Paul very personally. “Things” is rather broad. The chapter before this gives some insight into the kind of “things” that Paul demonstrated. 2 Timothy 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our

SHOW NOTES Show and Tell, pt1 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 213 On September 18th, Bridge City Church celebrated its 40th anniversary. I was the founding pastor of that church in 1982. Pastor Rick Paladin has done a great job leading the church for a number of years now. I spoke there for their anniversary service. Pastor Rick asked me to specifically speak on 2 Timothy 2:2, “The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust t

If you are going to increase your capacity, you have to take advantage of what you already have. People tend to complain about what they don’t have, but they don’t fill up what they do have. The greatest mark of a leader is that a leader leads himself.

Capacity is what you can take hold of, what you can handle. Increasing your capacity doesn’t mean you have to get a new talent. It means you have to use the talents you have more effectively. For leaders, the key way to drill down is learning the power of “yes” and “no.” If you say no to the right things, you’ll be able to say yes to the right things—that increases your capacity.

Vision ownership is the root of how you breed vision. Great vision bearers are not necessarily dynamic personalities, but they have a dynamic plan and invite people to go there with them. In vision ownership, you have to be saturated with the vision yourself. It has to get down inside of you.

The Church is described in Scripture as a body. We have many parts, and those parts are required to work together. When those parts work together, we have health. When those parts do not work together, we have dis-ease. Vision integration is vital to all of the parts working together.

The clearer, more obvious, easier it is to grasp, the better chance you have of your vision coming to pass. It is easier to increase a vision than it is to get somewhere and have to shrink vision. Vision used to never be talked about, and now it is talked about all the time. But sometimes when you talk about things a lot, you don’t define things clearly and everyone leaves the room with their own definition. Vision is your preferred future. It is your destination.

When in a season where you have to endure, identify what the enemy is trying to take, and fight back, refuse to be separated, do not neglect your commitments and patterns, and lastly, get refreshed and stay refreshed. This is how you plow your way through the land mines that are happening around you. God wants you to endure. He doesn’t want you to just make it through. He wants you to be prosperous and effective.

Endurance is a part of life. Endurance is a mark of a disciple, a follower of Jesus Christ. To endure, we need to remember that trials are just for a season, every test is a faith test, endurance is not passive, and keep our eyes on the prize of eternity.

God wants to reveal the mystery of Christ to us. We ought to be gospel detectives that unveil the mystery of God. Our ministry is revealing the mystery of Christ. Let us be regarded as people who are great stewards of the mystery of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The word “mystery” appears 25 times in the New Testament. 21 of those times, it means the same thing and refers to the same thing. A mystery is something you want people to investigate so they can find out. There is a great mystery that God wants us to understand.

There is a lot of screaming from the liberals declaring that they believe the science. Reality is, they believe the theory, not actual facts. There really is a definite science that is consistent with fetal development. Science says that the origin of something is that something. Does life start at conception? Everything starts at its conception point. Conception means the beginning of something. So of course, life begins at conception. When else could it start? After concept

It is amazing the liberals’ disconnect with history and lack of understanding of what Roe v. Wade is and was. Abortion did not start in America when Roe v. Wade law was made in the Supreme Court in 1973. There were 7 states that completely outlawed abortion before 1973. There were about 6 states that had no restriction on abortion—which is what Roe v. Wade did. What Roe v. Wade did was make abortion at any time, for any reason (or no reason at all), legal. It was the mother’s

Life is valuable, and Jesus is life. When you diminish life by saying that not all life is valuable, you diminish the redemptive act of Jesus. If killing children is not wrong, then nothing is really wrong. If nothing is really wrong, there is no sin. If there is no sin, then we don’t need a Savior. If we don’t need a Savior, then Jesus is irrelevant. Show notes (posted every Tuesday) can be found HERE. https://www.nrpastors.com/podcastnotes #leadership #KeithTucci #podcast #

When the majority of your meetings are spontaneous or as needed, something else besides you is driving the vision. Many leaders make fatal errors or don’t act quickly because they are simply operating on old information. Who you are meeting with is important. Do that on purpose every time. If you stay in contact with all the different soils in your church, you will hit water every time. Show notes (posted every Tuesday) can be found HERE. https://www.nrpastors.com/podcastnote

When we take the time to set the atmosphere, it tells people that they are important and have been invited to something important. Comfortable chairs and favorable lighting can make all the difference in people’s ability to receive and engage in a meeting. Preparing questions ahead of time to promote engagement and discussion is a must during preparation. And ending with clear action items helps people know what is happening next and that the time together was valuable. Show

Today we dove far back into the archives to the first series we did called The Art of the Meeting. Bible experts suggest that Jesus spent 73% of His time with small groups in strategic situations. Who are you meeting with, how often are you meeting, why do you meet, and what is your meeting culture. The answers to those questions are critical to the forward momentum of your church vision.

Discipleship without evangelism is not discipleship; it’s just a personal growth strategy. Disciples make disciples and part of that process should be teaching and demonstrating how to share your faith with someone. Evangelism should be just as central to us as going to church, tithing, or walking in forgiveness.
