The Developing Imperfect Leaders podcast is intended to develop imperfect people into better leaders. None of us are perfect, fully-realized people, which is why leadership development exists in the first place! Since we are NOT Jesus, we all have room for growth in our lives and we need help along the way. Therefore, each episode is designed to help anyone to become a better leader by examining a provocative question on a relevant leadership topic, looking at quotes from beneficial resources, and thinking through the practical application for growing in our imperfect leadership. If you are a perfect person who has life, relationships, and leadership all figured out, then this podcast is NOT for you. But, if you are someone who loves learning, growing, and improving. then this is something you'll enjoy and benefit from.

S4:E5 – Will Jesus really be enough in the end?
In this episode, the team looks at growing as followers of Christ. We discuss methods for continuing to pursue growth in Christ over the years and see how Jesus becomes bigger as time passes.
Quote of the Week:
Today’s quote comes from C.S. Lewis in the book, “Prince Caspian.” For context, Aslan is the Jesus figure in this story and Lucy is the character speaking with him.
“Aslan" said Lucy "you're bigger".
"That is because you are older, little one" answered he.
"Not because you are?"
"I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”

S4:E4 – Why would anyone become a Christian?
In this episode we share our testimonies and some gospel basics. We explore the new realities that happen when we become a Christian, including the things we gain, lose, and change.
Quote of the Week:
Today’s quote comes from Book VIII of Augustine’s Confessions (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3296/3296-h/3296-h.htm#link2H_4_0008). He writes of his conversion,
“So was I speaking and weeping in the most bitter contrition of my heart, when, lo! I heard from a neighboring house a voice, as of a boy or girl, I know not, chanting and oft repeating, 'Take up and read; take up and read.' … I opened, and in silence read that section on which my eyes first fell: 'Not in rioting and drunkenness… but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in its lusts.' … No further would I read; nor needed I: for instantly … all the darkness of doubt vanished away.”
