Key insights from the episode:
For most of us, we interconnect leadership and discipleship, but they are two different things.
Leadership sits on top of discipleship. - Kadi Cole
In discipleship, we are all equal. However, leadership has qualifications. You can be removed from leadership, you cannot be removed from discipleship. - Kadi Cole
Most people won’t serve in full-time ministry roles or pastors, and we do our congregation a disservice when we don’t allow them to grow as disciples in their own spaces. - Zach Zehnder
It is almost universally the experience of women who have leadership gifts that they are not often asked into formal leadership roles in the church to find more organic influential ways outside the church. - Kadi Cole
The higher calling that Scripture talks about is not your career path but to follow Jesus with your whole life. - Kadi Cole
Women’s role in leadership in the church is not a theological issue; it’s a leadership issue. - Kadi Cole
You have to say it. Godly women will assume they are not welcome in leadership unless you say it. What men leaders can do is articulate where they want women to serve at church. - Kadi Cole
We need to systematize how we develop leaders so that organic leadership can happen.
- Kadi Cole
Small church accountability and familiarity are the foundation that allows you to grow exponentially. - Kadi Cole
God’s not looking for success; he’s looking for faithfulness. - Kadi Cole
The further away a new believer is from a mature leader, the harder discipleship is. - Kadi Cole
There are seasons for church, and God will send you the people you need in certain seasons. - Zach Zehnder
Mature believers need more accountability and more oversight, not less. - Kadi Cole
One of the ways you can tell God’s timing is by who he sends you. - Kadi Cole
Kadi Cole’s challenge: Find freedom and flexibility in the way in which you connect with God
