Episode 1: Influence

The first episode of season four of The MacArthur Center podcast—titled Influence—answers a crucial question: What is leadership? Countless books have been written on the topic, but few really understand how someone becomes an effective leader. For more than 55 years, John MacArthur has led a church, a media ministry, a university and seminary through extraordinary change. What qualities have made him an effective leader? How did he grow into his role as a leader? Get answers in this episode as we look at the nature of leadership, what Scripture says about the topic, and how pastors can have profound influence for the sake of the gospel.
