In this lecture, Don Carson discusses 1 Corinthians 3, highlighting the Apostle Paul's warning against factionalism and emphasizing that Christian leaders are servants of God. The church is portrayed as God's temple, where believers are accountable for how it is treated, and Christian work will be tested by fire. Carson urges believers to value the church's eternal significance, live in unity, and honor the body of Christ with gratitude and reverence.He teaches the following:How 1 Corinthians 3 has been used to teach a unbiblical doctrinesA common evangelical interpretation of the passage divides humanity into natural, carnal, and spiritual menChristian leaders are mere servants whose only allegiance should be to GodThe foundation of the church is Jesus Christ, and leaders must build on this with materials that endureFactionalists ignore the wealth of the Christian heritage, focusing on individual leadersThe church is a functioning body animated by God's SpiritWhy the church is the only significant institution with eternal significanceWhy Christians should live with profound gratitude and love for the church

When it comes to AI, the present concern is over the potential job losses and fundamental disruptions to the way we work. But what about AI's inevitable impact on leadership? Will AI lead to a more impersonal, authoritative form of leadership? Or will it actually be the catalyst for a more human-centric form of leadership?

What You'll Learn:The three powerful benefits AI brings to leadership (and why most leaders miss them)How to toggle effectively between human skills and AI capabilitiesWhy developing awareness, wisdom, and compassion is critical for AI-augmented leadersThe specific mindsets leaders need to increase their awareness using AIHow to use AI to develop wisdom without becoming cognitively lazyWhy compassion is the secret to building trust around AI adoption in your organization It's a thought-provoking and revealing conversation that will inspire you to realize the future has yet to be written, and how the potential is there for us to create a more human-centric workplace environment where employees and organizations succeed and thrive together.

From Burnout to Boundaries: Redefining Female Leadership in Private EducationIn this deeply honest and emotionally resonant episode, Chanie Wilschanski invites female school leaders into a transformative conversation about the “impossible standard” of leadership in education. She explores the emotional labor women carry, how over-functioning and people-pleasing lead to burnout, and why leading with warmth shouldn't come at the cost of boundaries or energy. Chanie offers practical strategies—and powerful mindset shifts—to help leaders reclaim their authority and redefine what it means to lead well.What You'll LearnThe impact of emotional exhaustion and over-functioning on female school leadersThe “double-bind” dilemma: being warm vs. being decisiveWhy noticing feels like a leadership burden—and how to distribute itHow rescuing becomes reactive leadership disguised as delegationThe importance of identity work, not just strategy, to break burnout cyclesHow to create rhythms, boundaries, and systems that protect your warmthSimple journaling prompts to rethink your leadership postureKey Insights1. Emotional Labor HurtsWomen in school leadership hold not only logistical responsibility but also the emotional pulse of the building—staff, parents, students. This leads to heightened emotional exhaustion compared to male counterparts.2. Warming Doesn't Mean WeaknessHormonal responses like “tend-and-befriend” push women to soothe and rescue rather than set boundaries and enforce standards. Warmth is powerful… until it becomes draining without structure.3. Rescue ≠ DelegationBringing in supplies or stepping in during a lesson might feel supportive—but if not shared, it's rescuing. True leadership distributes responsibility and builds capacity.4. “Noticing” Is the Hidden LoadYou see the trash that won't get emptied, the subtle shift in energy… and you carry it. That invisible “20%” needs leadership, not martyrdom. Build systems so teams learn to see.5. Boundaries Honor the MissionWarmth becomes weaponized when it's the only way you've learned to lead. When boundaries are in place, you're not being cold—you're protecting your mission from burnout.6. Identity Shifts MatterYour strategy is useless if your identity isn't aligned. If “rescue leader” stays in your identity, you'll recreate burnout cycles—even with perfect systems.Memorable Quotes“You were meant to build a school that holds you.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Excellence is built through rhythm, not martyrdom.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy It Matters for School LeadersReclaim your authority and energyBuild team culture around shared responsibility, not dependencePrevent burnout through healthy boundaries and accountability systemsShift mental load so your presence enhances, not depletes, the communityResources & Lead MagnetExplore Leadership HQ coaching for ongoing support - schoolsofexcellence.com/consultSubscribe for future episodes on leadership rhythms, emotional clarity, and strategic systemsAbout Chanie Wilschanski & Schools of ExcellenceChanie Wilschanski leads Schools of Excellence with a passion for cultivating soulful, effective leadership through intentional rhythms.

We've all heard the buzz around artificial intelligence, business intelligence, and strategic intelligence. But in a world obsessed with data and efficiency, there's one form of intelligence that often gets overlooked—and it might be the most important of all: emotional intelligence.In this week's episode of the LeadCulture Podcast during the Summer of Leadership series, Jenni unpacks why EQ is the skill every culture-carrying leader must develop.

With a background in behavioral science, leadership development, and organizational consulting, Kevin helps high-impact individuals strengthen their leadership from the inside out.And that's exactly what this conversation is about.Too many people are trained to manage what's happening "out there," the deadlines, the clients, the optics, the performance.

They also discussed the pervasive influence of Christianity in American society, particularly in politics, and the challenges of holding religious organizations accountable due to societal norms and biases.Suggestions for addressing the issue included implementing stricter financial regulations, promoting transparency, and demanding accountability from religious institutions. Additionally, there were calls for reparations to congregations affected by financial mismanagement, including refunds or evidence of funds being used for their intended purposes.In a lighter tone, the panelists humorously proposed reparations in the form of amusement park trips and tangible improvements to church facilities, highlighting the long-standing issue of unfulfilled promises made to congregations for various projects.Overall, the conversation underscored the importance of financial integrity and accountability within religious institutions and called for greater scrutiny and regulation to prevent financial misconduct and protect congregational assets.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.13.4 featuring Jimmy Jr., Blatant Blatheist , Cynthia McDonald and Kelley Laughlin
