  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.356
  • Male announcer: the following program is sponsored by friends
  • 00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.192
  • Of life outreach international and the friends
  • 00:00:02.325 --> 00:00:03.993
  • And partners of tbn.
  • 00:00:04.127 --> 00:00:05.662
  • Mark moore: and jesus only used power for the powerless.
  • 00:00:07.330 --> 00:00:12.335
  • And when you use your position of whatever authority or
  • 00:00:12.335 --> 00:00:16.106
  • Whatever power you have for the powerless, i think that's a
  • 00:00:16.106 --> 00:00:19.642
  • Cultural value that is not just loving those who love you back,
  • 00:00:19.642 --> 00:00:25.515
  • It's using what you have for the benefit of those that can't pay
  • 00:00:25.515 --> 00:00:29.819
  • You back.
  • 00:00:29.819 --> 00:00:31.154
  • That's a culture that jesus would want to create.
  • 00:00:31.154 --> 00:00:34.157
  • Announcer: next.
  • 00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:36.159
  • [music]
  • 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:53.610
  • Randy robison: welcome to "life today."
  • 00:00:46.169 --> 00:00:54.944
  • I'm randy robison. great to have you here.
  • 00:00:54.944 --> 00:00:56.279
  • Did you know that you're a leader?
  • 00:00:56.279 --> 00:00:58.348
  • You're probably like, maybe, maybe not, right?
  • 00:00:58.348 --> 00:01:01.851
  • Let's take that in the biblical sense.
  • 00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:03.820
  • When we talk about leadership, what we're really talking about,
  • 00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:07.757
  • I believe, would be influence.
  • 00:01:07.757 --> 00:01:10.960
  • And whether you're a parent, grandparent, you work around
  • 00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:15.064
  • Other people, you're at a church, wherever you go, i mean,
  • 00:01:15.064 --> 00:01:18.268
  • Even when you go to the store and you interact with someone
  • 00:01:18.268 --> 00:01:20.837
  • There at the checkout line, you have an influence.
  • 00:01:20.837 --> 00:01:25.642
  • How are you using that?
  • 00:01:25.642 --> 00:01:27.544
  • We're going to talk about that today.
  • 00:01:27.544 --> 00:01:29.445
  • Our guest is mark moore.
  • 00:01:29.445 --> 00:01:31.948
  • He is the teaching pastor at the christ's church of the valley in
  • 00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:35.285
  • Peoria, arizona, in the phoenix area.
  • 00:01:35.285 --> 00:01:37.687
  • He's got a book called "the master leader."
  • 00:01:37.687 --> 00:01:41.024
  • Now the master leader is of course christ.
  • 00:01:41.024 --> 00:01:45.595
  • Now, how did he lead?
  • 00:01:45.595 --> 00:01:47.163
  • He led by example, he led by influence, and there are some
  • 00:01:47.163 --> 00:01:51.801
  • Things that you can implement in your life today that will make
  • 00:01:51.801 --> 00:01:55.071
  • You a better influencer in the scriptural sense.
  • 00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:58.341
  • Mark, welcome.
  • 00:01:58.341 --> 00:01:59.676
  • Mark: thank you.
  • 00:01:59.676 --> 00:02:01.044
  • Randy: good to see you.
  • 00:02:01.044 --> 00:02:02.378
  • Did that tee you up all right?
  • 00:02:02.378 --> 00:02:03.746
  • Did i get it?
  • 00:02:03.746 --> 00:02:05.081
  • Mark: it teed me up perfectly.
  • 00:02:05.081 --> 00:02:06.449
  • And, in fact, i know a lot of people in the audience are moms.
  • 00:02:06.449 --> 00:02:09.152
  • Randy: yeah, absolutely.
  • 00:02:09.152 --> 00:02:10.486
  • Grandparents, like me.
  • 00:02:10.486 --> 00:02:11.854
  • Mark: if you think about leadership as influence, when
  • 00:02:11.854 --> 00:02:14.424
  • The camera comes on to a professional athlete, i mean,
  • 00:02:14.424 --> 00:02:16.826
  • Big old boys, people who are nationally known, and they see
  • 00:02:16.826 --> 00:02:20.430
  • The camera, what's the first thing they say?
  • 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:22.031
  • Randy: "hi, dad," right? no?
  • 00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:23.900
  • "no, hi, mom." you're right.
  • 00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:25.768
  • Mark: because moms, you have an incredible influence over your
  • 00:02:25.768 --> 00:02:30.540
  • Children, as well as over other people in your neighborhood,
  • 00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:34.043
  • Over your husband, over the churches where you serve at.
  • 00:02:34.043 --> 00:02:37.213
  • So if leadership is influence, then certainly jesus is the
  • 00:02:37.213 --> 00:02:40.917
  • Number one influencer on the planet, hands down.
  • 00:02:40.917 --> 00:02:44.320
  • Randy: all right, you talk about 12 ways to lead like jesus.
  • 00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:47.523
  • We're not going to be able to hit all 12.
  • 00:02:47.523 --> 00:02:50.760
  • What are some of the best ways that you think the average
  • 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:53.896
  • Person can use their influence?
  • 00:02:53.896 --> 00:02:56.266
  • Mark: yeah, so if they pick up the book, they're gonna see the
  • 00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:59.535
  • 12 chapters.
  • 00:02:59.535 --> 00:03:01.070
  • Six are character, six are behaviors.
  • 00:03:01.070 --> 00:03:04.274
  • There's more than that, but we've divided up into character
  • 00:03:04.274 --> 00:03:06.509
  • And behaviors.
  • 00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:07.877
  • The first two chapters, randy, i think--i wrestled over that a
  • 00:03:07.877 --> 00:03:10.647
  • Lot, because i think this is the key to becoming a better leader,
  • 00:03:10.647 --> 00:03:15.118
  • Whether it's leader merely through influence or
  • 00:03:15.118 --> 00:03:17.487
  • Through authority.
  • 00:03:17.487 --> 00:03:18.821
  • Chapter one, if we'd learn from jesus, his two titles, and these
  • 00:03:18.821 --> 00:03:23.026
  • Were titles he gave himself, son of god and son of man.
  • 00:03:23.026 --> 00:03:28.331
  • Son of god, son of man.
  • 00:03:28.331 --> 00:03:29.666
  • Son of god is a very exalted title.
  • 00:03:29.666 --> 00:03:32.001
  • In fact, that's what the emperors called themselves.
  • 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:35.104
  • It's a title where you go, "i know who i am, i have the
  • 00:03:35.104 --> 00:03:37.974
  • Authority, i know my position."
  • 00:03:37.974 --> 00:03:40.643
  • Son of man, it's an odd old testament title.
  • 00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:44.781
  • A hundred and seven times it's used in the old testament.
  • 00:03:44.781 --> 00:03:48.518
  • Only once is it a compliment.
  • 00:03:48.518 --> 00:03:50.787
  • Randy: really?
  • 00:03:50.787 --> 00:03:52.155
  • Mark: ninety-three times, it's in one book, ezekiel, where god
  • 00:03:52.155 --> 00:03:55.825
  • Is saying, "ezekiel, you're not god, i'm god, you're son of man.
  • 00:03:55.825 --> 00:03:59.462
  • You've got warts, you've got pimples, you've got flaws.
  • 00:03:59.462 --> 00:04:01.898
  • You're a human being."
  • 00:04:01.898 --> 00:04:03.266
  • So every time in the old testament, son of man is, "i'm
  • 00:04:03.266 --> 00:04:06.903
  • Putting you in your place," except for daniel 7, where it
  • 00:04:06.903 --> 00:04:10.940
  • Says, daniel has a vision, "i saw one like a son of man,
  • 00:04:10.940 --> 00:04:14.777
  • Sitting at the right hand of god."
  • 00:04:14.777 --> 00:04:17.447
  • When jesus--i mean, that's stunning.
  • 00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:19.148
  • But when jesus came to earth, this was the title he chose
  • 00:04:19.148 --> 00:04:22.919
  • For himself.
  • 00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:24.954
  • Almost no one called jesus son of man except jesus, and jesus
  • 00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:30.126
  • Called himself almost nothing else but son of man, why?
  • 00:04:30.126 --> 00:04:32.895
  • Because jesus, as exalted as he is, he knew who he was.
  • 00:04:32.895 --> 00:04:37.867
  • He also had to lead with humility and submission to
  • 00:04:37.867 --> 00:04:42.438
  • The father.
  • 00:04:42.438 --> 00:04:43.773
  • This is the duality that every leader needs.
  • 00:04:43.773 --> 00:04:47.543
  • Randy: so, you've referenced authority and influence.
  • 00:04:47.543 --> 00:04:53.449
  • So when you're talking about leadership, i mean, yeah, you
  • 00:04:53.449 --> 00:04:55.651
  • Can give someone the authority and give them a title, put them
  • 00:04:55.651 --> 00:05:00.923
  • Over a company or over a group of people, however you lead,
  • 00:05:00.923 --> 00:05:03.993
  • Like the coach of the team, whatever.
  • 00:05:03.993 --> 00:05:06.462
  • Are you suggesting that that's not sufficient?
  • 00:05:06.462 --> 00:05:10.166
  • Mark: it's never sufficient.
  • 00:05:10.166 --> 00:05:11.801
  • In fact, i forget what great leadership guru it was.
  • 00:05:11.801 --> 00:05:14.537
  • Maybe it was bennis and nanus, but someone recently said we
  • 00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:18.508
  • Should stop using the phrase "servant leadership" because
  • 00:05:18.508 --> 00:05:22.078
  • It's all servant leadership.
  • 00:05:22.078 --> 00:05:24.180
  • And i think where a lot of people who are aspiring to a
  • 00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:28.151
  • Higher positional authority think, "if i have authority,
  • 00:05:28.151 --> 00:05:32.588
  • Then i'll be able to lead, i'll have power."
  • 00:05:32.588 --> 00:05:35.158
  • But you don't necessarily have influence.
  • 00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:37.593
  • And what's confusing to a lot of leaders is they have the
  • 00:05:37.593 --> 00:05:41.197
  • Authority, so people do what they say, but they're only doing
  • 00:05:41.197 --> 00:05:44.500
  • It because of the power they have, not because of the
  • 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:48.337
  • Influence they have.
  • 00:05:48.337 --> 00:05:49.705
  • Randy: interesting.
  • 00:05:49.705 --> 00:05:51.040
  • Mark: by jesus combining the confidence of the position, son
  • 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.844
  • Of god, and the humility of the influence, of son of man, by
  • 00:05:54.844 --> 00:06:00.917
  • Combining humility with that recognition, he was able to lead
  • 00:06:00.917 --> 00:06:07.323
  • Without allowing his leadership to be hijacked by his arrogance.
  • 00:06:07.323 --> 00:06:13.596
  • Randy: okay, and that leads me to--here's some--jesus, okay,
  • 00:06:13.596 --> 00:06:18.201
  • Perfect, right?
  • 00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:19.569
  • Literally without sin.
  • 00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:22.338
  • How do we as sinful human beings emulate that, because man, how
  • 00:06:22.338 --> 00:06:30.279
  • Many humans have had authority that you wish they never had?
  • 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.816
  • You look at the extremes in iran now or hitler, that kind of
  • 00:06:33.816 --> 00:06:37.787
  • Thing, right?
  • 00:06:37.787 --> 00:06:39.188
  • Or, how many humans who are very flawed--i mean, we literally
  • 00:06:39.188 --> 00:06:43.526
  • Call them influencers online and some of them, they have the
  • 00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:46.128
  • Worst ideas ever, most destructive ideas ever.
  • 00:06:46.128 --> 00:06:49.499
  • How do we, as flawed humans, have the proper authority that
  • 00:06:49.499 --> 00:06:56.038
  • Is given to us only in christ, but maybe positioned here on
  • 00:06:56.038 --> 00:06:59.709
  • Earth, you're a parent, you got authority, right?
  • 00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:02.845
  • And how do we do it the right way?
  • 00:07:02.845 --> 00:07:04.313
  • Mark: well, let me go back to a very famous story of jesus.
  • 00:07:04.313 --> 00:07:07.483
  • James and john asked for chief seats.
  • 00:07:07.483 --> 00:07:09.185
  • "i want to sit on your right,"
  • 00:07:09.185 --> 00:07:10.887
  • "i want to sit on your left," right?
  • 00:07:10.887 --> 00:07:12.355
  • His response was, "you are not to be like the rulers of the
  • 00:07:12.355 --> 00:07:16.125
  • Gentiles who lordeth over them."
  • 00:07:16.125 --> 00:07:19.328
  • In the gospel of mark, that's mark chapter 10 verses 42
  • 00:07:19.328 --> 00:07:22.398
  • And 45.
  • 00:07:22.398 --> 00:07:24.000
  • In the gospel of mark, there were only two rulers of the
  • 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.235
  • Gentiles, pilate and herod.
  • 00:07:26.235 --> 00:07:29.739
  • Pilate gave jesus over to be crucified because of the
  • 00:07:29.739 --> 00:07:34.577
  • Pressure of the jewish leaders.
  • 00:07:34.577 --> 00:07:36.345
  • He caved in to the jewish leaders.
  • 00:07:36.345 --> 00:07:39.448
  • Herod beheaded john the baptist.
  • 00:07:39.448 --> 00:07:41.918
  • He didn't want to, but he beheaded john the baptist
  • 00:07:41.918 --> 00:07:44.654
  • Because of the pressure of the people at his party.
  • 00:07:44.654 --> 00:07:47.790
  • So here's what we learn, that when you desire to be seen as a
  • 00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:51.727
  • Leader, your desire to be seen as a leader will rule you.
  • 00:07:51.727 --> 00:07:58.668
  • You are ruled by your desire to be seen as a ruler.
  • 00:07:58.668 --> 00:08:02.538
  • So in answer to your question, yeah, we're flawed.
  • 00:08:02.538 --> 00:08:04.373
  • We're not perfect like jesus.
  • 00:08:04.373 --> 00:08:06.042
  • But when we can understand that we are pleasing him alone, and
  • 00:08:06.042 --> 00:08:12.214
  • Serve the people below us, not rule over them, that's how we
  • 00:08:12.214 --> 00:08:15.918
  • Protect ourselves from ourselves in leadership.
  • 00:08:15.918 --> 00:08:18.688
  • Randy: and i think is protecting ourselves from ourselves is
  • 00:08:18.688 --> 00:08:21.857
  • Exactly the right thing.
  • 00:08:21.857 --> 00:08:23.192
  • All right, so let's look at some of the positive things.
  • 00:08:23.192 --> 00:08:26.429
  • If i want to exert my influence in a very positive way, i have
  • 00:08:26.429 --> 00:08:30.566
  • Loved ones, or even in a position sitting here on
  • 00:08:30.566 --> 00:08:33.369
  • Television, right?
  • 00:08:33.369 --> 00:08:35.738
  • How important are things like, i don't know,
  • 00:08:35.738 --> 00:08:38.641
  • Integrity, consistency?
  • 00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:44.814
  • What do we need to sort of let god cultivate in our lives to
  • 00:08:44.814 --> 00:08:49.852
  • Really influence people in the proper way?
  • 00:08:49.852 --> 00:08:52.989
  • Mark: what i wanna mention about, because you asked
  • 00:08:52.989 --> 00:08:54.790
  • Specific behaviors, and you had mentioned integrity.
  • 00:08:54.790 --> 00:08:57.393
  • Integrity is important, but i think in today's climate,
  • 00:08:57.393 --> 00:09:00.830
  • Authenticity is actually more important.
  • 00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:04.433
  • Randy: okay. oh, my--okay.
  • 00:09:04.433 --> 00:09:06.902
  • To do what kyle did to you on a previous program, i'm gonna push
  • 00:09:06.902 --> 00:09:09.238
  • Back a little bit on that.
  • 00:09:09.238 --> 00:09:10.573
  • What if you're authentically a terrible person?
  • 00:09:10.573 --> 00:09:13.609
  • Mark: yeah, then you're a terrible leader.
  • 00:09:13.609 --> 00:09:15.578
  • Randy: yeah, i mean, some people are like, "i just want to be
  • 00:09:15.578 --> 00:09:18.147
  • Authentic," and i'm like, you know, "i'd rather you not be,
  • 00:09:18.147 --> 00:09:20.483
  • Because you really--you're kind of rotten."
  • 00:09:20.483 --> 00:09:23.419
  • Mark: yeah, i'm not speaking to the person that does not have
  • 00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:27.056
  • Submission to christ, who's not trying.
  • 00:09:27.056 --> 00:09:30.860
  • I'm talking about the person, like me, who is flawed.
  • 00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:35.798
  • My character's being formed by christ, but i'm gonna
  • 00:09:35.798 --> 00:09:38.067
  • Make mistakes.
  • 00:09:38.067 --> 00:09:39.602
  • My initial response is to hide those mistakes.
  • 00:09:39.602 --> 00:09:42.805
  • Randy: ah, got you.
  • 00:09:42.805 --> 00:09:44.140
  • Mark: being authentic as a leader means, "i made a mistake
  • 00:09:44.140 --> 00:09:47.643
  • And i'm gonna admit my mistake, i'm gonna admit where i failed."
  • 00:09:47.643 --> 00:09:52.448
  • That goes so much farther than the image of perfection.
  • 00:09:52.448 --> 00:09:57.620
  • Randy: yeah, so it's, i guess, honesty, transparency.
  • 00:09:57.620 --> 00:10:02.825
  • That is the authenticity that we're looking for.
  • 00:10:02.825 --> 00:10:05.628
  • Mark: and, so a second characteristic that we need, and
  • 00:10:05.628 --> 00:10:08.631
  • This is whether you're a housewife or a ceo of a fortune
  • 00:10:08.631 --> 00:10:11.467
  • 500 company, you need consistency.
  • 00:10:11.467 --> 00:10:15.638
  • Consistency will trump effort.
  • 00:10:15.638 --> 00:10:19.975
  • Our church is growing.
  • 00:10:19.975 --> 00:10:21.343
  • It's crazy how much it is.
  • 00:10:21.343 --> 00:10:23.446
  • We baptized, and it's crazy numbers, over 10,000 people
  • 00:10:23.446 --> 00:10:27.717
  • Last year.
  • 00:10:27.717 --> 00:10:29.285
  • It's not because our preaching is that good.
  • 00:10:29.285 --> 00:10:31.554
  • It's good, it's not phenomenal.
  • 00:10:31.554 --> 00:10:33.622
  • Our music is good, it's not phenomenal.
  • 00:10:33.622 --> 00:10:36.492
  • Where we are strong is systems and consistency.
  • 00:10:36.492 --> 00:10:41.697
  • Every campus you go to is gonna have the same excellence.
  • 00:10:41.697 --> 00:10:46.302
  • Every sermon is gonna have this--like, we don't go for
  • 00:10:46.302 --> 00:10:48.571
  • Tens, we go for sevens or eights, but we do it every
  • 00:10:48.571 --> 00:10:51.373
  • Single week.
  • 00:10:51.373 --> 00:10:52.708
  • Your consistency as a leader is more important than
  • 00:10:52.708 --> 00:10:55.478
  • Your excellence.
  • 00:10:55.478 --> 00:10:56.846
  • Randy: well, you hear this.
  • 00:10:56.846 --> 00:10:58.481
  • You mentioned athletes at the top of the program saying "hi,
  • 00:10:58.481 --> 00:11:00.816
  • Mom," right?
  • 00:11:00.816 --> 00:11:02.151
  • And you know what that is?
  • 00:11:02.151 --> 00:11:03.519
  • That's that mother or grandmother who is always there,
  • 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.957
  • Who is always encouraging, who is always praying, you know?
  • 00:11:07.957 --> 00:11:12.528
  • And that consistency over the long haul, like you say, that
  • 00:11:12.528 --> 00:11:16.866
  • Makes such a big difference.
  • 00:11:16.866 --> 00:11:18.467
  • And what do we see when christians, or especially
  • 00:11:18.467 --> 00:11:21.470
  • Pastors, leaders, are inconsistent?
  • 00:11:21.470 --> 00:11:24.540
  • Well, there's fallout.
  • 00:11:24.540 --> 00:11:25.908
  • Mark: there's terrible fallout.
  • 00:11:25.908 --> 00:11:27.476
  • Randy: so i guess i would rather see someone have what they think
  • 00:11:27.476 --> 00:11:34.183
  • Of as a small level of influence but do it well, than have big
  • 00:11:34.183 --> 00:11:40.523
  • Influence and do it poorly.
  • 00:11:40.523 --> 00:11:43.526
  • Mark: if i could choose one chapter out of the book for
  • 00:11:43.526 --> 00:11:46.362
  • Everyone to read, it would be the chapter on culture.
  • 00:11:46.362 --> 00:11:53.002
  • We need two things to be successful in leadership.
  • 00:11:53.002 --> 00:11:56.038
  • Well, we need more than that, but two things that are often
  • 00:11:56.038 --> 00:11:59.175
  • Overlooked are systems and culture.
  • 00:11:59.175 --> 00:12:02.478
  • Systems are when you regulate.
  • 00:12:02.478 --> 00:12:05.714
  • What you do consistently is more important than the phenomenal
  • 00:12:05.714 --> 00:12:10.152
  • Things you do occasionally.
  • 00:12:10.152 --> 00:12:11.787
  • It's the everyday things, and that's why mothers are
  • 00:12:11.787 --> 00:12:14.356
  • So powerful.
  • 00:12:14.356 --> 00:12:15.724
  • They're always there.
  • 00:12:15.724 --> 00:12:17.059
  • They're always consistent.
  • 00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:18.427
  • Like, when did they not pack your lunch for school?
  • 00:12:18.427 --> 00:12:20.429
  • When did they not pick you up from soccer practice?
  • 00:12:20.429 --> 00:12:23.232
  • When did they not call on your birthday?
  • 00:12:23.232 --> 00:12:24.900
  • It's those consistencies.
  • 00:12:24.900 --> 00:12:26.735
  • So if you're gonna lead well in any area, it has to
  • 00:12:26.735 --> 00:12:29.572
  • Be consistency.
  • 00:12:29.572 --> 00:12:31.173
  • But the creation of culture, i think this is misunderstood.
  • 00:12:31.173 --> 00:12:34.443
  • If i could just speak to the moms out there, speak to the
  • 00:12:34.443 --> 00:12:38.047
  • Pastors out there, your number one job, other than casting
  • 00:12:38.047 --> 00:12:43.652
  • Vision, is to create a culture.
  • 00:12:43.652 --> 00:12:47.489
  • Culture is a combination of what you reward and what you allow.
  • 00:12:47.489 --> 00:12:53.762
  • What you reward and what you allow.
  • 00:12:53.762 --> 00:12:55.497
  • So if you give your kids an allowance only if they do their
  • 00:12:55.497 --> 00:13:01.437
  • Chores, that's what you're rewarding.
  • 00:13:01.437 --> 00:13:03.906
  • If you let them leave the door open, that's what you allow.
  • 00:13:03.906 --> 00:13:07.209
  • What you reward and what you allow will be the culture that
  • 00:13:07.209 --> 00:13:10.045
  • You develop, and culture more than--like, culture eats
  • 00:13:10.045 --> 00:13:13.415
  • Strategy for lunch.
  • 00:13:13.415 --> 00:13:15.184
  • When people come to our church and they say, "well, how do you
  • 00:13:15.184 --> 00:13:17.453
  • Grow a church?"
  • 00:13:17.453 --> 00:13:18.821
  • It's not about the strategy, it is about the culture you create
  • 00:13:18.821 --> 00:13:22.958
  • Within that environment.
  • 00:13:22.958 --> 00:13:25.694
  • Randy: all right, so what kind of culture are we looking for?
  • 00:13:25.694 --> 00:13:29.131
  • Mark: well, that jesus is the master leader.
  • 00:13:29.131 --> 00:13:32.067
  • He had, i would say, two primary values.
  • 00:13:32.067 --> 00:13:36.238
  • Obviously love is one.
  • 00:13:36.238 --> 00:13:37.573
  • Love god and love people.
  • 00:13:37.573 --> 00:13:39.742
  • But the other value he had is the way he used power.
  • 00:13:39.742 --> 00:13:45.080
  • There is no leader in egypt or rome or greece or israel that
  • 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:51.020
  • Used power for any other reason but self-protection
  • 00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:55.157
  • And self-promotion.
  • 00:13:55.157 --> 00:13:56.926
  • And jesus only used power for the powerless.
  • 00:13:56.926 --> 00:14:02.631
  • And when you use your position of whatever authority or
  • 00:14:02.631 --> 00:14:06.468
  • Whatever power you have for the powerless, i think that's a
  • 00:14:06.468 --> 00:14:09.972
  • Cultural value that is not just loving those who love you back
  • 00:14:09.972 --> 00:14:15.878
  • Or giving to those who can give back.
  • 00:14:15.878 --> 00:14:18.814
  • It's using what you have for the benefit of those that can't pay
  • 00:14:18.814 --> 00:14:23.118
  • You back.
  • 00:14:23.118 --> 00:14:24.486
  • That's a culture that jesus would want to create.
  • 00:14:24.486 --> 00:14:27.690
  • Randy: so what does that--does that--
  • 00:14:27.690 --> 00:14:29.925
  • That seems very broad, i think, if applied properly.
  • 00:14:29.925 --> 00:14:33.529
  • So you could talk about justice, you know, in your community.
  • 00:14:33.529 --> 00:14:39.535
  • You could talk about poverty.
  • 00:14:39.535 --> 00:14:41.637
  • You could talk about dealing with a range of things,
  • 00:14:41.637 --> 00:14:45.574
  • You know?
  • 00:14:45.574 --> 00:14:46.909
  • And so i think a lot of people would go, "okay, that sounds
  • 00:14:46.909 --> 00:14:48.811
  • Good, but how do i apply it?"
  • 00:14:48.811 --> 00:14:51.547
  • Is it as simple as seeing that need that's closest to you and
  • 00:14:51.547 --> 00:14:55.818
  • Filling it?
  • 00:14:55.818 --> 00:14:57.386
  • Mark: well, i would--i love that question.
  • 00:14:57.386 --> 00:14:59.788
  • I would respond two ways.
  • 00:14:59.788 --> 00:15:01.423
  • One is, god is gonna craft you in a unique way and put you in a
  • 00:15:01.423 --> 00:15:07.162
  • Unique situation.
  • 00:15:07.162 --> 00:15:09.231
  • I think about the seven candlesticks of revelation.
  • 00:15:09.231 --> 00:15:11.667
  • Every church was different.
  • 00:15:11.667 --> 00:15:13.035
  • Every church had their light.
  • 00:15:13.035 --> 00:15:15.004
  • So what is the light that god has put in you?
  • 00:15:15.004 --> 00:15:17.306
  • The other--and i'm really wrestling with this personally,
  • 00:15:17.306 --> 00:15:20.442
  • Just to be transparent.
  • 00:15:20.442 --> 00:15:21.810
  • Like, just between you and me.
  • 00:15:21.810 --> 00:15:23.145
  • I wouldn't tell anybody else this.
  • 00:15:23.145 --> 00:15:24.513
  • Randy: be authentic.
  • 00:15:24.513 --> 00:15:25.848
  • Mark: i am terrible at being interrupted, because i am so
  • 00:15:25.848 --> 00:15:29.952
  • Driven by tasks.
  • 00:15:29.952 --> 00:15:31.320
  • I have a to-do list.
  • 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.288
  • But every major miracle jesus did was an interruption.
  • 00:15:33.288 --> 00:15:38.293
  • Can i see interruptions as opportunities?
  • 00:15:38.293 --> 00:15:42.197
  • Do you see the people who are interrupting you as
  • 00:15:42.197 --> 00:15:44.767
  • Opportunities to be jesus to them?
  • 00:15:44.767 --> 00:15:48.103
  • Randy: ah.
  • 00:15:48.103 --> 00:15:49.471
  • Mark: you're welcome.
  • 00:15:49.471 --> 00:15:50.806
  • Randy: you're gonna set some people on a path, because we do.
  • 00:15:50.806 --> 00:15:55.144
  • Overlooked--are overlooked for a reason.
  • 00:15:55.144 --> 00:15:57.746
  • And if we stop and notice the way, you're right, the way that
  • 00:15:57.746 --> 00:16:00.616
  • Jesus did, boy, that would change--that might change my
  • 00:16:00.616 --> 00:16:06.288
  • Community, but mark, that might change me.
  • 00:16:06.288 --> 00:16:08.957
  • Mark: i had a student named billy, perhaps the most
  • 00:16:08.957 --> 00:16:11.493
  • Irritating student i ever had.
  • 00:16:11.493 --> 00:16:13.962
  • He would raise his hand like 20 times in a class, and i finally
  • 00:16:13.962 --> 00:16:18.067
  • Said, "billy, listen, you get two.
  • 00:16:18.067 --> 00:16:19.968
  • Every class period, you get two.
  • 00:16:19.968 --> 00:16:21.303
  • That's all you get."
  • 00:16:21.303 --> 00:16:22.671
  • The very next class period, i'm two minutes into the lecture.
  • 00:16:22.671 --> 00:16:25.207
  • His hand goes up and i go, "are you sure you wanna use it up on
  • 00:16:25.207 --> 00:16:28.444
  • This one?"
  • 00:16:28.444 --> 00:16:29.778
  • And he put his hand back down.
  • 00:16:29.778 --> 00:16:31.146
  • Billy, nobody really liked him.
  • 00:16:31.146 --> 00:16:33.615
  • They put up with him.
  • 00:16:33.615 --> 00:16:35.050
  • He wasn't mean, he was just irritating.
  • 00:16:35.050 --> 00:16:37.686
  • And the holy spirit one day--billy hid--i'm taking roll
  • 00:16:37.686 --> 00:16:44.259
  • In class, and i called billy's name, and he always said
  • 00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:47.563
  • Something irritating.
  • 00:16:47.563 --> 00:16:49.998
  • But he wasn't there that day.
  • 00:16:49.998 --> 00:16:51.467
  • There was silence.
  • 00:16:51.467 --> 00:16:52.801
  • And i was sitting there savoring the silence, and then he jumped
  • 00:16:52.801 --> 00:16:55.070
  • Out from under my desk.
  • 00:16:55.070 --> 00:16:56.405
  • This is a college classroom!
  • 00:16:56.405 --> 00:16:58.707
  • And i reminded him of that, sat him down.
  • 00:16:58.707 --> 00:17:01.243
  • I was steaming.
  • 00:17:01.243 --> 00:17:04.313
  • And the holy spirit said, "you don't even know him."
  • 00:17:04.313 --> 00:17:07.749
  • And i said to the holy spirit, "and i'm not going to."
  • 00:17:07.749 --> 00:17:11.553
  • And the holy spirit said, "no, you're taking him out to lunch."
  • 00:17:11.553 --> 00:17:14.223
  • And you've argued with the holy spirit before, it's a
  • 00:17:14.223 --> 00:17:15.891
  • Losing battle.
  • 00:17:15.891 --> 00:17:17.259
  • So after class i said, "billy, we need to talk," and i invited
  • 00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:19.261
  • Him to lunch and he just, like a puppy dog, he's just sort
  • 00:17:19.261 --> 00:17:21.797
  • Of quivering.
  • 00:17:21.797 --> 00:17:23.132
  • I go out to lunch and i said, "tell me your story."
  • 00:17:23.132 --> 00:17:26.201
  • And for the next hour and a half, he unpacked years
  • 00:17:26.201 --> 00:17:29.972
  • Of abuse, neglect, and triage.
  • 00:17:29.972 --> 00:17:32.641
  • And i thought to myself, "had i been through half
  • 00:17:32.641 --> 00:17:36.078
  • Of what he had been through, i wouldn't be half
  • 00:17:36.078 --> 00:17:39.715
  • The man that he is."
  • 00:17:39.715 --> 00:17:41.583
  • And i came up with this kind of life slogan for myself.
  • 00:17:41.583 --> 00:17:47.189
  • People are not unlovely because they're unlovely.
  • 00:17:47.189 --> 00:17:52.494
  • They're unlovely because they're unloved.
  • 00:17:52.494 --> 00:17:55.464
  • And to your point, if you really want to be a leader, look for
  • 00:17:55.464 --> 00:17:59.668
  • The people who are unlovely, and don't look at what makes
  • 00:17:59.668 --> 00:18:02.504
  • Them--they're not unlovable.
  • 00:18:02.504 --> 00:18:05.107
  • They're unloved.
  • 00:18:05.107 --> 00:18:06.875
  • And so, find the unlovely, love them, and see what blossoms.
  • 00:18:06.875 --> 00:18:11.847
  • That's influence.
  • 00:18:11.847 --> 00:18:14.449
  • Randy: that is godly influence.
  • 00:18:14.449 --> 00:18:16.518
  • That is leading like jesus.
  • 00:18:16.518 --> 00:18:18.820
  • Mark: so at our church, we have volunteers for everything, and
  • 00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:21.790
  • They do real ministry.
  • 00:18:21.790 --> 00:18:23.125
  • And every time i see a man volunteering in a small
  • 00:18:23.125 --> 00:18:26.728
  • Children's area, i ask him the same question.
  • 00:18:26.728 --> 00:18:30.132
  • I say, "they worship you in there, don't they?"
  • 00:18:30.132 --> 00:18:32.167
  • And he just goes, "yeah, they kind of do."
  • 00:18:32.167 --> 00:18:35.370
  • Where else do you get worshiped?
  • 00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:36.972
  • The problem with most of us is we're trying to get affirmation
  • 00:18:36.972 --> 00:18:40.108
  • From people above us.
  • 00:18:40.108 --> 00:18:42.444
  • That's hard, and it can vanish like that.
  • 00:18:42.444 --> 00:18:45.681
  • But when you lead down and you start pouring into people who
  • 00:18:45.681 --> 00:18:49.885
  • Can't pay you back, the influence is permanent, and
  • 00:18:49.885 --> 00:18:54.056
  • That's the kind of dopamine that everybody needs.
  • 00:18:54.056 --> 00:18:57.526
  • Randy: you know, i'm gonna interrupt you for just a minute
  • 00:18:57.526 --> 00:19:01.330
  • With something that i would like you to be a part of.
  • 00:19:01.330 --> 00:19:04.199
  • We call it water for life.
  • 00:19:04.199 --> 00:19:06.168
  • It's an outreach to those who will never be able to pay you
  • 00:19:06.168 --> 00:19:09.404
  • Back, to those that you can have an influence on today that goes
  • 00:19:09.404 --> 00:19:14.409
  • Beyond simple water, clean drinking water, which
  • 00:19:14.409 --> 00:19:18.180
  • Is important.
  • 00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:19.514
  • But it goes to sharing the water of life that is jesus christ.
  • 00:19:19.514 --> 00:19:26.154
  • So here's your interruption and here's your opportunity.
  • 00:19:26.154 --> 00:19:30.225
  • Watch this.
  • 00:19:30.225 --> 00:19:31.593
  • John yeatts: i know right now that you may be standing in your
  • 00:19:33.962 --> 00:19:36.265
  • Kitchen, preparing a meal for your family, washing dishes at
  • 00:19:36.265 --> 00:19:40.902
  • Your sink, using water out of the refrigerator
  • 00:19:40.902 --> 00:19:44.873
  • That's filtered.
  • 00:19:44.873 --> 00:19:46.808
  • You never stop to even think for a moment that that water could
  • 00:19:46.808 --> 00:19:51.446
  • Kill your children.
  • 00:19:51.446 --> 00:19:53.015
  • I'm asking you to help me make sure that this mother never has
  • 00:19:53.015 --> 00:19:56.518
  • That fear again.
  • 00:19:56.518 --> 00:19:58.587
  • Ree's story really captures me.
  • 00:20:01.523 --> 00:20:04.960
  • Her daughter, for ten years, was able to run and play and do all
  • 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:09.931
  • The things that normal children do.
  • 00:20:09.931 --> 00:20:13.502
  • Well, for the last three years she has suffered because of this
  • 00:20:13.502 --> 00:20:17.539
  • Water sickness, and the doctors have made it very clear that
  • 00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:20.142
  • It's because of the water that she is now suffering, not only
  • 00:20:20.142 --> 00:20:23.912
  • In her health but in her mind.
  • 00:20:23.912 --> 00:20:26.348
  • And this is a little girl that should have been able to grow
  • 00:20:26.348 --> 00:20:30.185
  • Up, and marry, and have children of her own, have an education,
  • 00:20:30.185 --> 00:20:34.423
  • Have a dream.
  • 00:20:34.423 --> 00:20:36.258
  • But now she lays on her bed crying, and has no ability to
  • 00:20:36.258 --> 00:20:40.762
  • Communicate or be with people anymore.
  • 00:20:40.762 --> 00:20:45.000
  • And it's all because of something that was
  • 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.935
  • So preventable.
  • 00:20:46.935 --> 00:20:48.804
  • We can bring a well to this village.
  • 00:20:48.804 --> 00:20:52.574
  • It is a clean well, it's gonna be mechanically drilled.
  • 00:20:52.574 --> 00:20:57.212
  • It'll be lined all the way to the water source.
  • 00:20:57.212 --> 00:20:59.481
  • It will be set up in a way that it will never be contaminated,
  • 00:20:59.481 --> 00:21:03.685
  • And they'll never have to fear again.
  • 00:21:03.685 --> 00:21:06.888
  • Join james and betty.
  • 00:21:06.888 --> 00:21:08.256
  • They've given their whole lives to this.
  • 00:21:08.256 --> 00:21:11.126
  • They have done everything they can do to put the arms of god
  • 00:21:11.126 --> 00:21:15.063
  • Around the world, and they've asked us to be a part of it.
  • 00:21:15.063 --> 00:21:18.967
  • We can make a difference, friends.
  • 00:21:18.967 --> 00:21:21.203
  • Through water for life we can drill a well in this village.
  • 00:21:21.203 --> 00:21:25.006
  • You can extend god's perfect love in this moment, and cast
  • 00:21:25.006 --> 00:21:29.444
  • Away the fear that this village lives with.
  • 00:21:29.444 --> 00:21:32.247
  • Randy: you can make a difference.
  • 00:21:33.448 --> 00:21:35.751
  • We really need to hear from you.

  • Announcer: every day, far too many lives are lost to

  • Age of five are the most vulnerable.

  • Mark, by the way, thank you for all your support.

  • I know the mission outreaches are close to your heart, and we
  • 00:23:36.037 --> 00:23:39.841
  • Just appreciate your influence there.
  • 00:23:39.841 --> 00:23:42.444
  • Mark: well, jesus said it's more blessed to give than to receive,
  • 00:23:42.444 --> 00:23:45.180
  • So for me to even give a little bit towards what you're already
  • 00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:48.283
  • Doing is an honor.
  • 00:23:48.283 --> 00:23:49.784
  • Randy: and you've given a lot, and i do appreciate that.
  • 00:23:49.784 --> 00:23:53.955

  • Come back, we'll see you again next time.
  • 00:24:04.633 --> 00:24:06.635
  • [music]
  • 00:24:06.635 --> 00:24:13.275
  • Jeff little: you know, in life, we're measuring everything
  • 00:24:13.275 --> 00:24:16.177
  • According to its value.
  • 00:24:16.177 --> 00:24:18.213
  • Before you buy something, you think about how much
  • 00:24:18.213 --> 00:24:20.415
  • Does it cost?
  • 00:24:20.415 --> 00:24:21.750
  • Before you sign up to commit yourself to some type of event
  • 00:24:21.750 --> 00:24:25.153
  • Or some type of activity, you think about how much time that's
  • 00:24:25.153 --> 00:24:28.890
  • Going to take and how much of your schedule you're going to
  • 00:24:28.890 --> 00:24:31.493
  • Have to give to it.
  • 00:24:31.493 --> 00:24:33.094
  • We invest our lives in something.
  • 00:24:33.094 --> 00:24:36.298
  • You know, the bible gives us an interesting parable, an
  • 00:24:36.298 --> 00:24:39.367
  • Interesting story, and it talks about what is most valuable.
  • 00:24:39.367 --> 00:24:44.539
  • What's the most valuable thing that you could
  • 00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:46.341
  • Give your life to?
  • 00:24:46.341 --> 00:24:47.676
  • And it tells the story of a man who found a treasure in a field,
  • 00:24:47.676 --> 00:24:53.515
  • And he found that treasure to be so valuable, he sold everything
  • 00:24:53.515 --> 00:24:58.653
  • To get the treasure.
  • 00:24:58.653 --> 00:25:00.155
  • You know what that treasure was?
  • 00:25:00.155 --> 00:25:01.790
  • It's the kingdom of god.
  • 00:25:01.790 --> 00:25:03.658
  • I find a lot of people today as a pastor, i just see them and
  • 00:25:03.658 --> 00:25:07.762
  • They do not recognize the value of giving yourself to the
  • 00:25:07.762 --> 00:25:12.534
  • Kingdom of god.
  • 00:25:12.534 --> 00:25:14.102
  • We all have been given a gift by god called life.
  • 00:25:14.102 --> 00:25:18.106
  • Average person, probably 25,000 days, some more,
  • 00:25:18.106 --> 00:25:21.576
  • Some less.
  • 00:25:21.576 --> 00:25:23.011
  • And my challenge to you today is this: what are you giving
  • 00:25:23.011 --> 00:25:26.414
  • Your life to?
  • 00:25:26.414 --> 00:25:27.882
  • The bible tells us that the value that is placed on the
  • 00:25:27.882 --> 00:25:31.319
  • Kingdom of god is the greatest thing you could ever invest
  • 00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:35.290
  • Yourself in.
  • 00:25:35.290 --> 00:25:36.958
  • So i would encourage you, give your life away today.
  • 00:25:36.958 --> 00:25:40.195
  • Give it to jesus, give it to a life with god, and give it to
  • 00:25:40.195 --> 00:25:43.732
  • Others because you'll find it to be a great investment.
