This week, Becky introduces you to a few more her favorite authors and seminary professors—as her “virtual” guests—to inspire you to LEAD differently than the culture. Her guests will implore you to make the Bible—not Harry Potter novels—your sacred scriptures and to make prayer a true priority in your daily life. Why? That is one sure way to lead a family, city, and nation back to God. Yes?

Each week, Becky Tirabassi, pastor and podcaster, invites you to become a culture-changing leader through the lens of L.E.A.D. Whether you are a parent, professor, pastor, politician or young professional, you can start today and join 100’s of others in being (1) LOYAL to God’s Word, (2) ENCOURAGING to others, (3) true and meaningful ADVOCATES for the young generation, and (4) DEVOTED power-houses in prayer!
LOYALTY to God’s Word: Reading through the entire Bible each year is not just a good idea—it is a specific plan to hear God’s voice daily! Who doesn’t need the voice of God to guide his or her life? As you will read this week in Deuteronomy, there were consequences for ignoring God’s basic commands. In the New Testament reading of The Change Your Life Daily Bible, when Jesus was tempted, He spoke Words from Scripture. He relied on the Word of God to shape His decisions and responses. This week’s Psalms and Proverbs are compelling and thought-provoking: the Lord loves integrity and detests crookedness.
ENCOURAGEMENT to Others: If you have not concluded yet, that the Bible is meant to be your greatest encourager, comforter, guide and advisor, then perhaps this week’s “virtual guest,” Joel Green (Professor of NT at Fuller Seminary), will inspire you afresh! He certainly has inspired Becky to read the Bible daily for before, during, and after seminary! Might you be inspired read God’s Word daily as a source of great encouragement for your life and leadership.
ADVOCACY for the Young Generation: In a recent chapel presentation by Christian Smith of Notre Dame titled Something Shifted, you will be made aware—if you are not already—of the desperate situation that exists in today’s culture, especially for the young generation. Of course, Becky believes what her professor, Joel Green believes—we must READ the Bible with our youth (not just preach to them)! What a novel idea!
Finally, The WEEKLY LEAD podcast always closes with a reminder that a leader must be DEVOTED to Prayer. In Becky's classic book, Let Prayer Change Your Life, she explores the many aspects of prayer by looking at Jesus’s life: all night prayer, morning prayer, 24/7 prayer. This week, especially, consider how you might spark prayer meetings wherever you go!
Please invite your friends to subscribe to THE WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST and join in the adventure of calling a nation back to God through daily prayer and Bible reading!
