If You Want To Lead Well, You Have To First Follow Well

Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coaches Huddles w/ Return Guest Brian Laur, Southern IL FCA Area Director

Joining us again on the Coaches Social is our good friend and co-worker in FCA ministry, Brian Laur the Area Director for FCA in Southern Illinois. In this episode we talk about what FCA Coaches Huddles are, why they are so important in growing as follower of Jesus in the sports world and in the school systems in order to thrive in our calling as disciple-makers, and how you can get involved if you aren't yet.

If You Want To Lead Well, You Have To First Follow Well

We discuss the concept of Followership in this episode, a term that may be new to many because it's not an actual word as far as we know. Followership, however, is a very important concept that is taught in the Lead 'Em Up curriculum that Justin and Shane are going through with students right now. What does it mean to follow well, what kind of a follower are you, and how can all of us follow better to become better leaders?

Listener Question: Can You Be Confident & Remain Humble?

In this episode we discuss a question that a listener asked for us to weigh in on and it's a really good topic to discuss; can you be confident and still be humble? Listen in to hear Shane and Justin's take on the matter.

Back To The Basics

It seems that in our fast paced, instant gratification society that most of us end up trying to skip steps or pass over the foundational fundamentals of so many things (sports, faith, and beyond) that we are involved in. The long-term results of that are detrimental. It may be time that we press pause, reevaluate some things, and return to the fundamentals of what we do, teach, and lead.

The Sickness of Selfishness

Selfishness, pride, and ego are prevalent within our society, especially within the sports world. If you are claiming yourself to be a follower of Jesus Christ, however, there is no room for these things as scripture tells us. Listen in to hear our thoughts, observations, and views on how we can all win the battle of selfishness.
