Pastoring Like A Sherpa
On this episode of HCP, Larry and Drew discuss making sure we are personally healthy leaders before trying to encourage others to do the same thing. Larry gives a wonderful example of how the Sherpa of Nepal guide hikers to the highest peak in the world of Mt. Everest. They lead the way by running ahead to prepare the way, then double back and get behind the hikers so they can summit first. That is a beautiful picture of what we need to learn to do to lead and yet support our congregations. The idea is that the Sherpa are more prepared, in better shape, have a better understanding of the mountain in front of them. Pastors should be able to do the same thing yet we can’t lead others up the mountain if we can’t lead ourselves.
Larry also talks about the book Leader 100x by Jeremie Kubicek and Steve Cockram
