Leadership in a Change of Age with Dr. John Seel

About this episode

Dr. John Seel discusses the evolution of leadership in a changing age and the importance of adapting to new cultural contexts.

I've been looking forward to this interview for a long time. Dr. John Seel is a writer, entrepreneur, teacher, administrator, and cultural analyst. He is the son of a medical missionary whose life was changed at the age of eighteen by an short meeting with Dr. Francis Schaeffer. Later he worked with Os Guiness, James Davison Hunter, and quite a few others in the areas of cultural research. He has written books on leadership, discipleship, and manhood, and has his finger on the pulse of American religion culture. Today we discuss what it means that we are in a changing age and why leaders can't rely on 20th century models of leadership as their guide. We even got around to discussing AI and why Christians must not forgo our responsibilities to be good stewards of technology.
