Primer on Triperspectival Leadership

Posted on November 29, 2008

These guys offer a collection of audio and articles on Triperspectival Leadership as advocated by Drew Goodmanson and David Fairchild. This approach to church and to leadership takes the perspectivalism of John Frame and Vern Poythress and applies it to ecclesiology. Regarding leadership, the prophet, priest, & king offices of Christ and applied to functional and pastoral leadership roles in the missional church. Prophet is teacher/preacher. Priest is pastor/counselor. King is administrator/XP.

I admire Drew and David’s hard thinking and missional leading, and was blessed by their generous, Jesus like spirit when I was in San Diego earlier this summer. I am encoruaged to be in parntership in the gospel with them. This approach to ecclesiology is worth considering and has its strengths and weaknesses. Enjoy.

While you are looking for Xmas gifts, consider giving a subscription to Paste for any of your friends who are into thoughtful reflection on current film and music. I am still marveling at the issue on Violence.
