To reject conformity to this age (aion) is to actively resist patterns of domination that distort our humanity.JR WOODWARDSummaryIn this episode of the Right Side Up podcast, hosts Danielle Strickland and James Sholl engage with JR Woodward, the National Director of the V3 Movement and author of 'The Scandal of Leadership.' They explore the burdens of leadership, the powers at play within institutions, and the temptations leaders face regarding identity and purpose. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community, the deceptive nature of powers, and the necessity of imitating Christ in leadership. Woodward discusses the scapegoat mechanism and the call to resistance against systemic issues, urging leaders to reflect deeply on their roles and the impact of their decisions.Takeaways* The burden of leadership often feels heavy and requires deep reflection.* Understanding the powers at play in leadership can help navigate challenges.* Institutions can shape leaders in ways that may not align with their values.* Living in the world requires discernment to not be of the world.* Leaders face temptations that challenge their identity and purpose.* The powers can be deceptive, leading to justifications for unethical behavior.* Imitating Christ is essential for authentic leadership.* The scapegoat mechanism can create temporary peace but leads to deeper issues.* Community and proximity to people are vital for effective leadership.* Resistance to the powers is a necessary call for leaders today.Links: Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Right Side Up Podcast02:26 The Burden of Leadership and Writing The Scandal of Leadership06:12 Understanding Powers and Principalities in Leadership10:02 The Role of Institutions and Ideologies14:11 The Temptations of Leadership and Identity18:16 Unmasking the Powers in Today's Context22:08 The Call to Church Leaders and Overcoming Evil29:51 The Impact of Interpretation on Scripture31:10 Navigating Deception and Humility in Leadership32:11 Understanding Mimetic Desire and Its Implications35:33 The Scapegoat Mechanism in Society39:10 Imitating Christ: A Path to Overcoming Powers42:59 The Role of Honor and Identity in Leadership46:35 Proximity to People: A Key to Authentic Leadership50:40 The Dangers of Exceptionalism in Leadership53:34 Faithful Resistance: Embracing the Journey of Self-Emptying56:39 educational-intro-high-short.wav Get full access to Right Side Up: Danielle Strickland at daniellestrickland.substack.com/subscribe

JR Woodward, author and national director of V3 church planting movement, shares how freedom and innovation enables movement. He tells us how a story of an ordinary woman innovating for the Kingdom in a retirement home, and he challenges us to all create more room for gifts of innovation to flourish in our communities, even in small ways.  --- www.Dwellings.info

JR Woodward, PhD (University of Manchester, UK) is a catalyst, author, and teacher. He is the national director of the V3 church planting movement. See jrwoodward.com. He's also the author of The Scandal of Leadership, which forms the backdrop of our conversation.  We discuss the need for polycentric leadership, the problems with hierarchical leadership, the temptation for church leaders to build their own kingdoms, why it seems like so many leaders are failing (or are they?), and how to make sure our churches are more focused on the kingdom of God than sustaining and building their own brand.

Leaders either become a scandal to those they lead or embrace the scandalous way of Christ. Part 2 of 2 featuring JR Woodward. We discuss his latest book, an iteration of his recent dissertation, on the Powers and church leadership. The Scandal of Leadership is now available wherever books are sold. Those in church leadership of any kind will find this conversation a crucial component to diagnosing systemic problems in church leadership formation. Both episodes derive from a deeply theological understanding of leadership, and digs into spiritual formation as well. CW: we do discuss Power through a spiritual lens that includes topics of spiritual warfare ranging from Christ, Satan, and so forth. Episode Summary of Part Two: Implications for Formation: - On Christian formation, shaping views of atonement and the world. Christ as the scapegoat unlocks a new awareness, inviting a reorientation towards a different worldview. Two Archetypal Models: - According to John, two primary archetypal models exist: Satan and Christ. - Gerard deconstructs Satan as part of a mimetic cycle, accusing and offering order to maintain power. Satan's Fall and Powers' Influence: - Satan falls when the mimetic cycle is exposed, revealing the powers at work. - While legal systems provide some order, they are insufficient in overcoming the fallen powers. Imitating Christ to Overcome Powers: - According to Gerard, the only way to overcome the powers is by imitating Christ. - Imitating Christ involves having desires for the Father, aligning with Jesus' actions. Mimetic Desire and Oscar Romero: - Mimetic desire is explored through Oscar Romero's life, where desires for status and honor are challenged. - Romero's boldness in naming and unmasking powers exemplifies imitating Christ. Philippians Two and Identity: - Jr examines Philippians 2, emphasizing a shift in identity. - Paul's journey from attributed to achieved honor illustrates the contrast between worldly and Christ-centered identity. Romero's Identity Transformation: - Romero's identity transformation is highlighted, moving from attributed and achieved honor to finding identity in Christ. - Romero's fearless stance against oppression and willingness to face death exemplify imitating Christ. Lord's Prayer and Solutions: - Jr suggests using the Lord's Prayer as a pathway for solutions. - Real Identity, Vocational Faithfulness, Contrast Community, Spiritual Formation, and Canonic Leadership are key components. Real Identity: - Acknowledges the first part of the Lord's Prayer, emphasizing being a beloved child of God. - Rejects the world's system of status and identity, finding value as a child of God. Vocational Faithfulness: - Focuses on seeking first the kingdom of God, aligning with the vocational faithfulness concept. - Romero's example illustrates the commitment to the kingdom's realization in the midst of societal challenges. Contrast Community: - Emphasizes economic and relational aspects in community life. - Contrasts with the world's systems by forgiving debts and handling economics differently, creating a distinct community. Spiritual Formation: - Links spiritual formation to deliverance from evil or the evil one. - Calls for attention to the powers at work in spiritual formation to prevent succumbing to worldly temptations. - Encourage a reversal of the temptation to build personal kingdoms, emphasizing a posture of humility and emptiness. The Scandal of Leadership: - Concludes with the idea that leaders either become a scandal to those they lead or embrace the scandalous way of Christ. - Acknowledges the challenge of living like Christ in contrast to contemporary desires for power and recognition.

Part 1 of a 2 part interview featuring author, catalyst, and teacher, JR Woodward. JR recently released a book, The Scandal of Leadership: Unmasking the Powers of Domination in the Church. In an age where church leaders are hitting the news cycle for all the wrong reasons, JR details a theological outlook on WHY. If you're connected to church leadership, church planting, or overall interested in diagnosing the deep systemic problems in church leadership, these two episodes will be for you. Both outline interesting theological insights (which is typically not the style of the Faith in a Fresh Vibe podcast). Listen in to learn more, and check out the episode summary for a snapshot. Episode Summary Introduction: - Discusses the shift in podcast focus towards church planting and leadership development. - Mentions Jr Woodward's contribution to the book "Thrive" and introduces his new book, "The Scandal of Leadership." JR's Previous Books: - "Creating a Missional Culture": Explores polycentric leadership and its connection to the New Testament. - "The Church as Movement": Co-written with Dan White, Jr., focuses on a missional movement approach to being a church. Introduction to "The Scandal of Leadership": - Jr's third main book, addressing power dynamics in leadership. - The book is an attempt to diagnose and provide solutions to the issues of power abuse in the contemporary church. Framework: "The Powers" and Leadership: - Examines the concept of "the powers" in Scripture. - Discusses Walter Wink's views on powers and how they shape sociological, psychological, and biological aspects. - Proposes re-mythologizing the powers for a more nuanced understanding. Domineering Leadership Problem: - Addresses the prevalent issue of power abuse, including spiritual and sexual abuse in churches. - Jr emphasizes the need to look at the issue mythologically, beyond psychological and sociological analyses. Naming the Powers: Image, Institution, Ideology: - Jr adopts William Stringfellow's categorization of powers into image, institution, and ideology. - Image: The powers' influence through self-image and desire. - Institution: Powers become problematic when seeking survival at the expense of others. - Ideology: The powers manifest through various -isms, shaping how individuals read and interpret Scripture. Introduction to Rene Girard: - Rene Girard's background as a French scholar, literary critic, and anthropologist. - Girard's initial exploration into literature led him to the concept of mimetic desire. Mimetic Desire: - Describes how desires are not self-generated but are influenced by models. - Girard's discovery that mimetic desire is a triangular relationship where individuals desire what their models desire. Scapegoat Mechanism: - Girard's exploration into anthropology and mythology. - Examines the role of mimetic rivalry leading to scapegoating in archaic societies. - Rituals and prohibitions aimed at preventing frequent scapegoating. The Bible and Revelation of Truth: - Girard finds the Bible unique in revealing the truth about mimetic desire and scapegoating. - Jesus as the willing scapegoat unveils the mechanism of scapegoating in society. - The resurrection reveals Jesus as an innocent victim, shifting the perspective from perpetrator to victim. Intelligence of the Victim: - Girard's concept that societies with the Jesus story have the "intelligence of the victim." - With this intelligence, societies are less likely to find peace through scapegoating. - Girard's concern about the contemporary world and his focus on the apocalypse. End of Part 1: - The challenges posed by having the intelligence of the victim in today's world. - The podcast delves into the complexity of power dynamics and leadership in the context of these frameworks.

In this episode, JR Woodward and I get into how the powers and principalities shape our leadership, what we can learn from the temptations of Jesus, how our desires produce our identity, and how we are all captive to imitation. Join us for part one of this two part conversation as we pursue imitating Christ because To not imitate Christ is to imitate the Devil and to experience all of the craziness when we do that.

Karl Vaters interviews Dan White Jr.. the coauthor (with JR Woodward) of The Church as Movement: Starting and Sustaining Missional-Incarnational Communities. They talk about why we need a complete rethinking of how we do church, from the current, popular ways of seeing it as an institution or a series of programs, to seeing it as the movement Jesus intended it to be. Specifically, Dan builds the case for a new type of leadership he calls Polycentric Leadership. To get there, Dan and Karl discuss the primary elements of: The Church as Movement The importance of church structure The four stages of learning Rethinking leadership and mutual submission These seismic shifts can feel overwhelming at first, but if we really hear what the New Testament tells us about discipleship, it can become second nature to us.

JR Woodward shares with us on the Early Church and the expansive mission of the church. We are not called to be an institution, but a movement.

Dan White, Jr. joins me to talk about his journey from the megachurch world to the minimal church world of being a community of Jesus followers rooted in a neighborhood, practices of presence in the neighborhood, the healing power of hospitality, what “discipleship” means and why it matters so much, and the biggest reasons pastors and leaders hesitate to take the plunge into the parish.   Dan White, Jr. co-leads Axiom, a faith-community in the urban neighborhoods of Syracuse; works as a consultant and coach with the V3 Movement, which starts and sustains missional-incarnational communities throughout the country; and cofounded the Praxis Gathering. He is the author of Subterranean: Why the Future of the Church is Rootedness and co-author with JR Woodward of the forthcoming book The Church as Movement (August 2016).

JR Woodward's "Creating a Missional Culture: Equipping the Church for the Sake of the World" is a book helping churches move forward in mission and evangelization. The author is a seasoned church planter, disciple-forming disciple, and thought leader drawing on a wide range of authors and experiences to explain the why - and HOW - of equipping the faithful for mission.

JR Woodward speaks on being a people of hope as we join God in the renewal of all things.

In this Exponential 2011 podcast, JR Woodward reminds us that Jesus calls us to following him into the world, which makes for an adventurous life filled with risks and rewards, joys and dangers. Part of the reason many young people are leaving the church today is because the church feels more like a country club rather than a community on a dangerous mission to bless the world. If we really want to follow Jesus, we must be willing to be rejected, to live simply, to be peacemakers and agents of economic justice, and ultimately be willing to suffer and die for his name's sake.

Exponential 2011 workshop with JR Woodward. If the church is going to faithfully rebirth herself in the Western context and cultivate fruitful missional ethos, she must awaken the five equippers to live as cultural architects who awaken the entire community to join God in the renewal of all things. This workshop moves from theory to practice with a case example in Los Angeles.
