Tony Evans Kingdom Man

844 Words4 Pages

Beginning at its November breakfast meeting, BTB began a remarkable study authored by Rev. Tony Evans. The study is based on his book, Kingdom Man.
In the very first study, he uses a football analogy to define what the Kingdom Man’s role is. He’s not a quarterback, running back, or a quarterback. He is not even a team coach. Instead, he’s like the referee.
That may sound unusual, but he is on track. The referee is not there to please the crowd or the contesting teams. Doing that would corrupt the game. Instead, he’s there to enforce the NFL Conference rules, to ensure the integrity of the game. To the degree he performs that mission, properly representing the authority of the NFL Commissioner, referees have both authority and power. …show more content…

The rule book is the Bible. He stands for righteousness and social order; and without him, human life turns to chaos. So God is looking for Kingdom Men, but they are hard to find. Might you be one that God has called to take the field to represent him?
In January, BTB will present a third study, “Life of the Kingdom Man.” In this video, Evans notes that a system of authority exists in God’s Kingdom. Christian men are under Christ’s authority and have a responsibility to fulfill. Doing that is the way to blessing for the Kingdom Man.
But what could that be? To define the Kingdom Man’s way to blessing, Pastor Evans turns to Psalms 128. First, the scripture says “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord.” This, Evans says, is the key to God’s blessing. That could mean “terror.” But Evans posits another definition. Fear also means to “reverence,” that is, to take God seriously, to live as if we are in God’s presence; rather than to treat God as an emergency stop when we get into

    and these verses in mind. Keeping these things close to our hearts and minds will produce people who are focused on working for the greater good rather than themselves. These would be the ideal individuals to be in power, uncorrupted by selfish intent and humbly serving despite undesirable circumstances. Farmer didn’t let his position of power get to his head and even though he knew his illegal Freedom Rides led to his jail time, his work would ultimately serve the greater good. A servant leader like him is without doubt an invaluable asset wherever they may find

    Leading with Soul is both an inspiring book and a guide for becoming a better leader. The book alternates between telling the story of a leader who is striving to find meaning in his work, and regular interludes, which include summaries, reflective questions, and information regarding various spiritual philosophies. I was exposed to dimensions of leadership I had never previously considered.

    In part six, I thought there was a lot of good information spread out in all of the chapters. The biggest thing that stood out to me were in chapter 25. I enjoyed the first sections that were expressed. I enjoyed the idea about how Jesus recruits heroes to join him in critiquing theocapitalism. I think this means that he reaches out to people who are going to attempt to make the kingdom grow.

    But I am enlightened by Nouwen as he writes that, it is precisely in this kind of hopeless generation that Christian leaders should be willing to make their life available to help people around them. Nouwen claims that, as contemporary Christian leaders, our first basic task is ‘to lead people out of the land of confusion into the land of hope.’ (Nouwen, 2010, p.44). And it makes sense to me that, in order to lead people into the new territory, we first have to have the courage to explore the new territory within
