Leadership Profile
Intro
Louie Giglio, an Atlanta native and self-proclaimed introvert, holds global renown as a powerful speaker, authentic pastor, visionary architect, and director of a sizable ministry encompassing many branches, called the Passion Movement. His wife, Shelley, is a complimentary co-leader, and they work synergistically to manage and enhance all that is embodied within the Passion Movement. Louie and Shelley founded the Passion Movement in 1995, with a mission to reach college students around the nation and the world with the Gospel. They led the first Passion Conference in 1997, a convention for college-aged students from around the world to come together, worship Jesus, and raise awareness for social justice. Growing

He advocates for his followers to be part of community groups, which are smaller groups of people who regularly attend Passion City Church, who meet together around the city in homes to study the Bible and enjoy fellowship with others. Louie also places high value on his elder team, a group of men, some of whom have served faithfully for many years. They act as an advisory board for the church management, and a sounding board for new ideas and plans. Louie has cultivated strong relationships with these men, as a result of mutual relational transparency and empathy. Through the challenging situations and the good times, the leaders of the church have a community they can lean on. In putting value on these relationships, Louie is living what he encourages others to do. He displays consistency between his words and his actions, thus creating a more authentic environment in which the followers can see the veracity of Louie’s …show more content…
263). Emotional healing is a concept that is not often talked about, but feeling whole as an individual person is crucial to living a fulfilling and productive life. Louie’s servanthood in leadership creates an environment conducive to emotional healing. Listening to Louie explain the truths of the Bible, people to feel comfortable enough to start to uncover the fragments of the emotional and spiritual elements of their lives. Caring for others is something Louie does well, but only by God’s grace, as he accentuates throughout his speaking and as a theme all through The Comeback. Giglio explains that complete healing does not take place through a human leader like himself, but through surrender to God, and His larger canvas that is
While comparing her time, theology and spiritual practice we realize she lived during the time of immense change, similarly we are living on the edge of a challenged modernity. Her spiritual direction allows us to recognize and develop further abilities in our pastoral ministries of caring for one another as participants within the corporate communities as well as within the mission fields.
There is a purpose behind these struggles. Louie found this purpose through finding God. After the war, Louie struggled with different battles, this is consistent for everyone. An overwhelming peace comes along with finding this purpose. Through Louie being saved, both physically and mentally, he found this peace. Each and every person has some type of faith, whether it is faith in one’s self, faith in someone else, or religious faith. This faith is what keeps humans going, it keeps people pushing
He loves being able to celebrate mass everyday and “enrich his relationship with the Lord.” He is able to use his gifts to walk with many in the community through hard times such as parents who loose their children or vice versa. With God’s guidance he can bring them to a place of understanding and peace. This past Holy week he was given the opportunity to give the homily for the Youth Rally mass. Being able to preach and exhibit a faithful fatherhood to over thirteen hundred youths was immensely exciting. He was luckily given the chance to expand his wings and further his call to not only priesthood, but
In my paper I will talk about my visit to The Community Church at Murphy's Landing (CCML). I have chosen this particular Church because it is a family church type and my neighbor goes there and she encouraged me to go with her. I went there with my neighbor on April 6, 2014.This church is an appropriate for this assignment because the people there are welcoming me with an open heart and they are willing to help and provide me with information. When I visit the Church’s site I read these words “We know visiting a new church can be intimidating. But, we want to help you to be as comfortable as possible when and if you join us”. The people gather in the church weekly to glorify God in joyful worship. The expressions of worship on CCML take many forms a prayer, a hymn of reverent awe, a guitar ringing with a chorus of praise, or a warm handshake and a welcoming smile. Their weekly services begin at 9:30 each Sunday at church. Also, they have weekly podcast if anyone wants to listen online. They have many types of services for parents, kids and students. People at CCML were so friendly; they gather around me and start welcoming me, one by one. People there introducing themselves to me, one after another and provide me with their contact information and help. Then we start talking about the church services and Christianity in particular. The mission of CCML was knowing, growing and loving. They seek to live out our mission by worshipping together as a local community of believers, growing in spiritual maturity through discipleship, education, and small groups, caring for one another within the context of the larger church body and small groups, and Communicating the love of Christ to our world, both through local outreach and global mis...
We recently had a church meeting to articulate changes that will affect the church’s future. This chapter came in handy because I was able to engage the congregation by asking the necessary questions to get their buy-in before actually setting the change in stone. Although I ready to implement the change, it was not executed until the congregation saw it the benefits and rewards. This practice is not always the best way, because time may or may not allow it.

...agreed with, some that frustrated, and some that embarrassed me when my personal preferences defied logic or biblical mandate. I would recommend this reading to any who impact church worship (employee or volunteer). Not as a firm guide, but as thought-provoking advice on how corporate worship can impact an ever-changing culture. I think any worship leader would be impacted by Dawn’s questions:

From an early age, Joe was involved in everything that the church had to offer. By the time he was 7 years old, he was an altar boy singing in the church choir. His parents always made it clear to him that it was imperative that he follow the teachings of the church. His grandmother, on his father’s side, was particularly strict with him. She made certain that he did not go astray and that he behaved as properly, according to church doctrines, as possible.

The shepherd and sheep relationship is the best illustration for the relationship between pastor and parishioners. When Jesus asked Simon Peter does he love him three times and said to him “Feed my sheep”, the shepherd and flock relationship has been set. Since Jesus is our good shepherd (Jn. 10:11a), he laid out a good example for us to follow - to lay down his life for the sheep. (Jn. 10:11b) Thus, the wellness of both in and out of the parishioners should always be the concern in the pastors’ hearts. Soul care for the people is essential. Christian friendship is the foundation of Christian soul care. Pastoral ministry including preaching, teaching, and worship forms the broad context of pastoral counseling. Pastoral care is within pastoral ministry but broader than pastoral counseling. God’s love is the source and motivation. Within the pastoral care, there are spiritual direction and pastoral
