Integrity: Every Leader's Saving Grace
The foundation of trust is integrity. People follow leaders they trust. Integrity is every leader's saving grace. If you have it, you will never be booted from Congress, your town council or school board for lack of character. Character and integrity are two sides of the same coin and one ensures, assures and insures the other. Integrity is the only coin we get to spend with every decision we make. It spends for us, spins for us and speaks for us! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cipsinc/support

Taking The Bait
Christians in conflict. Today, often leading the conflict. From City Halls to Halls of Congress.

This episode kicks off the new season of the Governing God's Way Podcast, hosted by our Founder and President, Dorothy Burton. Timely. Relevant. Challenging us all as leaders to examine ourselves and how we are representing Jesus Christ and the Kingdom in public space. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cipsinc/support

What It Takes To Lead And Succeed As A Public Servant Leader
10 minutes. A leader that God honors and blesses. HINT: What we're seeing today on the public stage is far from it. It's why many feel the need to compromise and give in to what they know is wrong to stay in right with the right people. Don't pattern yourself after a party or lose who you are to follow and pattern yourself after a person if they are not following and patterning themselves after Christ. ONLY what we do for Him, not them, will have lasting value and increase the value of our leadership. Leaders of impact are leaders of value. Be a leader who adds value.

Convinced you will never again prosper. Convinced that your better days are behind you. We must keep our eyes on the GOAT - "God Over All Things."

President Lyndon Johnson once famously said, “If you’re in politics and you can’t tell when you walk into a room who’s for you and who’s against you, then you’re in the wrong line of work. As a leader, you have to know – not assume – but know who is for you and who is against you. Make no assumptions and you’ll make no mistakes. Mistakes are made by people who assume they know.

Positioned For Purpose
Jesus, the King of Glory in the natural was "out of place" the entire 33 years he lived on earth. But every phase of his life was purposed. He was "out of place" among his family. "Out of place" among his fellow Jews. "Out of place" wherever he went. But his focus was not on his place but on his purpose. So should be ours.
Each of us has been given life and with that life - purpose. We will sometimes be rejected, ostracized, talked about, feel like we are "out of place" among peers, at our job, among colleagues, even our family.
We are where God purposed us to be even when we have messed up, even when we are in uncomfortable environments and especially when we feel alone in doing what is right according to His word.
Joseph of Arimathea, a leader, purposed by God, positioned by God, unwittingly fulfilled one of the greatest prophecies of God. He was "purposed" by God in the position he was in to carry out one of the most important events in all of human history. God has purposed and…

Leading Like Jesus
Who is this Jesus?
Up to and including Resurrection Sunday, my goal is to bring clarity and bring it down to ground level, the person and leader Jesus the Christ was as fully God and fully man. Through daily postings of 5 principles of leadership from Jesus and through this weekly podcast.
None of his leadership principles were rooted in religion. His life wasn't a religious one. In fact, it was the religious who hated him and who would eventually wrongly accuse and crucify him.
He was and is, and is to come -- King. He was God in the human body of Jesus. Fully God. Fully man. The King of Glory!
He left us with so much truth. How to live and how to lead.
If you don't know him. He is the most important person you will ever know. And he left us as leaders, the blueprint for leadership. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cipsinc/support

There Is No Retirement From Our Work
Jesus said in John 9:4, "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man (or woman) can work." We must do the same. We can retire from our job - perhaps even quit or get fired from our job. But we can neither quit nor be fired from our work. There is a difference, and this episode explores and explains why we should never look forward to "retiring."

The Leader People Will Follow
If people follow you because they are paid to follow you, you're not a leader but a paycheck. Great leaders? People will follow them to the moon and back even if they didn't receive a dime because what they receive in return, money could never buy. The greatest leaders throughout history could never afford to pay the thousands who followed them. Yet, together, they changed their world. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a great example. David hid out in caves, had no money to pay his men, yet hundreds of men followed him from the cave to the kingdom. What endears people to leaders? What will endear them to you?

The Enemy's Plan Of Attack: How Satan Takes Out the Best Of Leaders
Satan is real. Satan hates you. And when it comes to taking out God's people -- especially those in authority, his plan is sure. His plan has worked since the beginning of time. And many if not most are completely unaware of how he works, when he works and how his brilliancy outshines, outmaneuvers and outlasts the best of leaders. No leader - no matter how many degrees on the wall, endorsements behind their name, years of serving and leading, wealth or pedigree - no leader since the original, Adam, is off-limits. He even tried his tried-and-true plan of takedown on Jesus in the wilderness. But Jesus had his number. This podcast will equip you the same. If you lead, take heed -- you have a diabolical, crazy smart adversary who knows you better than you know yourself --- get to know him the same so that you can fight back and win. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cipsinc/support

What it Takes to Lead Well in Difficult Times: A Conversation on Leadership with Ambassador Ron Kirk
The Honorable Ron Kirk is the first African American elected as Mayor of the City of Dallas. He led the amazing transformation of a sleepy downtown Dallas to a city within a city - brimming with a bustling nightlife, parks, trendy restaurants and attractive downtown living. Unheard of before his term as Mayor. He led major expansion of thoroughfares, led the effort in pulling off what many said could not be done - bringing together voters and populations long at odds, divided by race and socio-economics, across the north/south divide; and, with tremendous opposition winning by a hair, the referendum to build the American Airlines Center, Victory Park --- resulting in a domino effect of economic development, business relocations and the Dallas that many have come to love today. Catching the eye of President Barack Obama, the President would name Mayor Kirk as U.S. Trade Representative.

Christian Nationalism: A Conversation with Amanda Tyler and Frank Schaeffer
From Texas to Georgia to Arizona to DC. School boards, churches, city councils, state legislatures what is going on in American government today? With politicians and policymakers?
Why are evangelicals acting so unevangelical?
Christian nationalism is playing a major role in policymaking today. It's not just Republican v. Democrat. It is an insidious and perverted theo-political philosophy that is a cancer eating away at Christianity. A majority of white evangelicals are complicit and it is having a negative impact on Christianity in America.
For the first time, Christian nationalism has major influence on public thought and policymaking.

How to Talk Back to the Devil
The Devil is his title. Satan is his name. And he is after the control tower of our life. Our mind. If he can control our mind, he will control our life.
As the control tower dictates what happens in the cockpit and on the runway - so does our mind dictate what happens in our life, for all of our life.
A pilot isn't going anywhere until he or she has been cleared by the control tower. And our life isn't going anywhere if it isn't cleared by our control tower. Our mind.
If the control tower is off, the entire flight will be off course and may even crash and burn. That's what the Devil wants - to take control of our mind so that he can run our life into the ground.
If we allow him to take control of our mind, he will take control of our life. How? Because from the mind comes our emotions. Whatever controls the mind, controls the emotions. Emotions control attitude and our attitude controls our actions. If he can control what you think he already knows what you will do.

The Great Equalizer
"At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box." - Italian Proverb
No matter how important we believe ourselves to be, how brightly we may shine in the limelight, or how hard we may toil in dim anonymity, death is the great equalizer.
In the end only this will matter to God -- Did we do what He positioned us to do for His glory? And, did we genuinely and selflessly serve His people?
That’s what Nehemiah did. It’s why in the end --- after he had overseen the rebuilding of the wall; and, had taken care of the needs of the people even at the expense of his own comfort and ease, he prays to God in Nehemiah 13:31 his last recorded words, “Remember me, O my God, for good.” That’s legacy in leadership.
You and I should be living and serving not for the next office, title or position, but for our legacy.

God, Do It Again!
How many times have you had to cry out to God, -- "Lord, help me just one more time... God, do it again!" I have.

His hair wasn’t the source of his strength, but symbolic of supernatural strength that could come only from God.
While Delilah certainly played a strategic role in Samson’s life aborting or so widely thought, aborting Samson’s leadership role as Judge over Israel, her role was cast by God to bring about his divine will.

The Big Three
If there is no enemy within the enemy outside can do us no harm. - African Proverb
Three leaders. Three heads of state. Three kings. King Solomon, King Rehoboam and King Jeroboam.
Powerful. Influential. Blessed. As a leader, so are you. The big three - three kings. But as we learn from the life of these leaders, power, influence and blessings are no match for the big three internal enemies of every leader - disobedience, arrogance and insecurity.
These three enemies brought down the most powerful public servant leaders of their generation. And if left unchecked, they will do the same to all who lead.
If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm. The kicker is, most of us don't even realize we are enemy carriers.

Would You Do That?
A lot of times, the question for public servant leaders is not, "can I, but will I?" We are blessed to be a blessing - doing for others what is within our power and means to do. Leaders should be givers. Our leader, Jesus the Christ, was a giver. He gave the ultimate, his life; paying a debt that we owed but could not pay. Obviously for most of us, it would never be that we would have to pay with our life a debt of another, but God will always bring about a situation, circumstance or need in the life of another in our charge, on our team, or a colleague that He has blessed us to easily meet or make better - if we would.
