  • The Question of Leadership (feat. Ryan McDermott) | EP. 236

    The Question of Leadership (feat. Ryan McDermott) | EP. 236
    Mar 28 2025

    Leadership is more than a title—it’s a calling to influence, inspire, and impact those around us. As ministry leaders, our responsibility isn’t just to know what Jesus says in Matthew 5:13-16 about being salt and light—it’s to live it out in every aspect of our leadership and ministry.

    Today, we’re diving into the question: Why and how do we influence? This is a crucial topic that will be explored at YPS by leaders like Pastor Eugene Cho and Dr. Kathy Koch, who bring deep wisdom and insight into what it means to lead with purpose. Why do you believe this topic is so important for leaders today? When we look at Matthew 5:13-16, how should we apply Jesus’ words to our own leadership and influence? What are some key leadership insights you would share with leaders on how to maximize their personal leadership and influence?

    Key Takeaways from Today’s Discussion:

    • Salt speaks to how we shouldn’t compromise. Light speaks to the action of pointing others to Jesus—the decision is up to us.
    • Leadership is not just positional—it’s influential. We must lead with integrity, purpose, and a heart for serving others.
    • The greatest leaders don’t just develop strategies—they develop people.
