In Episode 29, “Are You a Godly Leader?” Kim shares the last words from the book of Joshua, as described in Joshua 24:29-33.
So, are you a Godly leader? Leadership comes in different shapes and sizes. Joshua was called to lead the Israelite nation, whereas, you may have been called to lead your family in a Godly manner.
All who are followers of Christ are called to be Godly leaders. There are no exceptions.
What can we learn about Godly leadership from the life of Joshua?
Here are just a few thoughts. Godly leaders:
Are servants of the Lord;
Have a personal relationship with the Lord;
Are attentive to the Lord’s voice
Commit to obedience of God’s voice, even when the instruction makes no earthly sense;
Humble himself/herself before God and others;
Admit mistakes;
Have courage to pray God-sized prayers;
Learn from other leaders;
Seek to use mistakes to bring about good;
Encourage remembrances of what God has done;
Instruct in godliness;
Challenge all the fence-sitters.

In Episode 28, “Choose Today Whom You Will Serve” Kim shares the fifth section of Joshua’s final words to the Israelites, as described in Joshua 24:14-28.
In section 1, Joshua challenged the Israelites to Cling Tightly to the Lord. In Section 2, he instructed them to what NOT to cling. In Section 3, Joshua pointed them back to their spiritual roots. In Section 4, Joshua talked about their shared time of God’s victories and blessings. In our final section, Joshua challenges them to choose today whom they will serve.
He refers them to several options he knows they will be tempted to serve. When they strongly say they will choose to serve the Lord, he made a covenant with the people, wrote their commitment in the Book of God’s Instructions and set up a stone as a memorial.

In section 1, Joshua challenged the Israelites to Cling Tightly to the Lord. He continues by further emphasizing what they should not cling to.

Pride
Power
Possessions

In Episode 24, “Cling Tightly to the Lord Your God” Kim shares the first section of Joshua’s final words to the Israelites, as described in Joshua 23:1-11.
Kim challenges listeners to examine their own lives. We live in a death-defying society, and so many want to pretend they will live forever. Yet, God’s word says our days are numbered.
If you were to know your time on earth was short, with whom would you ask to speak? What would you say to each one? What would matter most? What would you encourage each person to do? What warnings might you give?

In Episode 22, “Movin' Past Mistakes” Kim shares the concept of the cities of refuge from Joshua 20. To receive refuge in those cities, one had to admit his wrongdoing and be willing to accept appropriate consequences.
Kim challenges listeners to approach their mistakes or wrongdoings in a 5-fold manner:
1. Admit Your Mistake or Wrongdoing (and make NO EXCUSES for your behavior);
2. Accept Appropriate Consequences;
3. Apologize to Those Hurt by Your Choices (i.e., God, Others, Yourself);
4. Assess the Situation from a Prayerful Mindset (Ask God to reveal to you any wrong choices you made, right choices you could have made)
5. Apply the Lessons as You Press Forward to Become the Person God Created You to Be.

In Episode 21, “You Gotta Speak Up” Kim shares the story of Caleb from Joshua 14 & 15, as he reminded Joshua of the land he had been promised 45 years earlier. Caleb had the courage to speak up for what was promised. His daughter followed his example and asked for what she wanted.
Kim challenges listeners to Speak Up for what they need, on behalf of others, sharing with others God’s Word, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
She also referred to a couple of books on boundaries, and here are the Amazon links for those.
