Welcome to the Faith First Podcast! I’m Jonathan Gouthier, a pastor here at First Church in Torrington, CT. If you’ve found it difficult to choose someone to follow, then this episode is for you. In it you’ll discover through my conversation with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr who makes a good Christian leader today. Welcome Steve, glad you’re in the studio today, we’re going to start with this question; How do you define leadership?

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• You mentioned that when we choose to follow someone we are to welcome them into our lives, what do you mean by this?
• What qualities do you think scripturally a leader ought to possess?
• How is leading others to Christ being a leader?
• Why is servant leadership crucial in the Christian’s life?

Godly leadership isn’t about being perfect—it’s about having a heart that seeks after Him. The leaders God chooses are those who trust Him wholeheartedly, stand strong in the face of challenges, walk humbly with a repentant spirit when they stumble, and serve others with genuine love.

These are the qualities that inspire others to follow. Do you see them in yourself? Maybe this episode sparked something in you or encouraged you to grow as a leader in your home or community.
