Cedarville: A Case Study

Countries disintegrate, place of worship and corporation fail, people become dysfunctional, descendants lose their direction, and mankind drift from God on behalf of one distracting reason; insufficiency of leadership. These disappointments are often for the reason that of the deficiency of instruction, appropriate leadership, and misperception on what Christian leadership subsists and exactly how that leadership is pertinent to every component of professional and personal life. From a Christian worldview perspective, Psalm 112:5 explains, “A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion” (NKJ). A Christian manager should always keep in mind that bounteousness and admiration for God, demonstrates that one has placed trust in Him, and not our material possessions.

All this and more will help me reach my goal of one day being able to relate to a wide variety people, being able to work with and guide anyone, and everyone, through relationships developed between a leader and his followers. I wish to be that leader that makes a change in the world to help relieve the pressure that people around the world feel every day, the pressure to work with people that they hate, that they despise, by eliminating that distaste.

The Christian worldview of leadership is distinctly different from most secular views on the subject. In the secular, leadership tends to be viewed primarily in terms of a company’s bottom line and how well the leader can urge employees to produce more and better work. That view is profit-centered rather than person-centered, and it does not give much attention to employees’ human needs and qualities nor on how developing excellent work relationships can promote productivity. In the Christian worldview, however, people are key, and their human needs are important. The leader in the Christian worldview understands how meeting employees’ needs promotes the kind of productivity desired and

Alien in one definition is: “Too different from something to be acceptable or suitable,” and Illegal in one definition is “Not allowed by the law.” (Mirriam-Webster Dictionary) The words ‘Alien’ and ‘Illegal’ have inherent negative connotations. A person does not need to know the intimate or factual circumstances associated with those words to understand their symbolism. When those words are used to label the social group of undocumented Latino day laborers the inherent reaction is to see them in a negative way. The individuals become a stigmatized group. The people against undocumented immigrants in Farmingville saw the Latinos through the lens of the stigmatized group “illegal aliens.” They thus became

Through my passions and experiences with people, as well as study, I am convinced that God has given me the desire and gifts to serve Him through discipling others. Ideally, I plan to work with young adults as they commonly need, and want, answers to questions of identity, truth, apologetics, and relationships, with Jesus and others. These are all things I am passionate about. I am committed to helping others experience God’s love, nurture their spiritual development, enable them to discover their spiritual gifts, and equip them for effective

Do you enjoy sporting events that keep you on the edge of your seat? Well, the latest soccer action was one for the ages and it was a bout between the Centerville Community College Eagles and the Ipswich Community College Spartans came down to the final minutes, on the campus of Ipswich in Wardlesburg, with the Eagles coming out with the edge in a tight victory. The game was for all the marbles as it was for the State Collegiate Conference title.

I’ve always been the type to have the achiever attitude through whatever I do. It says in Strengthsfinder 2.0, “You feel as if every day starts at zero.” I was raised to always do your best and achieve as much as you can, no matter what day or time it is….. In reading, Transforming Culture with Truth, there was a piece that really stood out to me and really made me tie it into my purpose. Munsil says, “Arizona Christian University has the ability and opportunity to boldly teach the Scriptures and weave biblical truth into every class.”

I know that if I want to be a trailblazer I must step up and take responsibility each day for my actions, and even my non-actions. My decisions today have a direct impact on my present and my future. It’s my responsibility to surround myself with supportive people. I know to change my output, I must change my input. My decisions should be based on what’s best for the whole, not just what’s in it for me. I need to always focus on the right intentions and everything will fall into place. Remembering, God doesn’t make junk. “O  lord, you have examined my heart and

For my observation experience I went to my aunts house in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was a beautiful, bright Sunday afternoon on the 23rd of October, 2016. It was late afternoon when I arrived, around 3pm. I was welcomed by my aunt with a big hug and she called for her son Goose, my cousin, who was helping me with my assignment. I asked where he would be most comfortable and he said “I work best on the couch” so we went into the living room. I sat on the couch to the right of him and he laid on his belly on the couch next to me. His mom sat in as well in a chair across from Goose. It was very bright because of the large window so Goose asked to switch me couches so he could see better. I happily obliged. I explained how he was going to help me with my homework and he didn 't seem too interested, until I handed him my large sketch pad. His face lit up and he told his mom “I want one of these for Christmas Mom!”. His mom proceeded to tell me how much he enjoys art class at school.

God’s aim in directing our lives is not to make us a success in our own minds. Oswald Chambers asserts, “His purpose is the process itself.” In this arrival based culture that pervades our thinking, however, the idea of growing, learning, stretching and becoming is not nearly as attractive as arriving. We admire and look up to those who acquire goods that we long for and emulate those who realize feats that we aspire to. Certainly, everyone would agree that it is much nicer to achieve and arrive, to meet a goal or to win a battle rather than to keep banging it out in the trenches. Admittedly, it is good to arrive, it builds confidence, momentum and makes us feel good. The difficulty, is not found in having arrival moments or even in enjoying them, but the problem arises when we begin to live for those achievements. When our identity becomes wrapped in our successes we find ourselves climbing on a precarious precipice of self accomplishment that can easily lead to leadership disaster. The goal of a successful leader is not to conduct a transaction whereby some thing is accomplished. Rather, it is principally about becoming transformed into a leader worth following throughout the process of bringing transformation. This paper will describe how I intend to continue to become a leader of deep character based on the presence of Christ and his word within me by cataloguing specific insights gleaned under each of the four primary questions posited in each of the four classes.
