Overcome Chaos Through Biblical Leadership Principles With Gary Harpst



Are you a leader struggling with chaos in your organization? In this insightful podcast episode, we interview Gary Harpst, New York Times bestselling author and former CEO, about overcoming organizational chaos through timeless biblical leadership principles.

Gary unpacks the three types of chaos leaders face—external chaos from circumstances, social chaos from team dynamics, and internal chaos from personal struggles. He shares how the Bible depicts God creating order out of chaos, giving us a model for bringing order ourselves.

You'll learn Gary's fascinating perspective that all believers are called to biblical leadership to steward their spheres of influence. He emphasizes the necessity of building relational capital by embracing team diversity and differences by design.

Gary also outlines his powerful "three-layer pyramid" distinguishing between what we can humanly provide (meeting needs, caring for others) versus what only Jesus can ultimately do (give new identity and purpose).

Throughout the conversation, Gary compellingly argues for integrating faith principles into the workplace domain to fully unleash the power of the gospel in people's lives.
