The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - Servant Leadership

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.

00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,

00:00:06.420 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?

00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do

00:00:12.860 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks.

00:00:19.600 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

00:00:25.340 You're listening to Daily Truth.

00:00:27.140 manage his own household well all right and this is where the literal translation is rules

00:00:35.520 well an elder must rule and not just in the church we see that elsewhere but but even in

00:00:40.180 his home as the head of his home as as husband and father he rules well that's what the bible

00:00:45.580 speaks to it speaks to a fatherly rule not not a totalitarian authoritarian domineering

00:00:52.540 abusive rule, but a righteous, self-sacrificing, generous, kind, but also strong, courageous

00:01:00.720 leadership rule. That's what you're called to, men. You're called to rule. The Bible doesn't say

00:01:08.240 don't rule. The Bible says rule righteously. A righteous rule in the likeness of our Savior.

00:01:14.680 a rule that is willing to lay down your life

00:01:19.200 for those who you are ruling

00:01:20.900 a godly kingship

00:01:23.820 a righteous kingship

00:01:26.240 modeled after the king himself

00:01:28.520 who went to the cross

00:01:31.840 in order to win his gal

00:01:34.140 but at the same time

00:01:36.740 Jesus doesn't

00:01:37.700 it's not just servant leadership

00:01:38.940 right we like that phrase

00:01:40.960 in the soft complementarian world

00:01:42.320 servant leadership

00:01:43.100 servant leadership

00:01:43.680 but all the emphasis is given to the word servant

00:01:45.760 and we've pretty much eradicated the word leadership.

00:01:49.480 If we actually meant servant leadership,

00:01:51.360 then we could actually use a different term

00:01:52.700 and nobody would be upset.

00:01:54.420 So if I said servant ruling,

00:01:56.900 there shouldn't be a problem.

00:01:59.960 If I said servant kingship,

00:02:03.700 a husband should be the servant king

00:02:05.020 of the subjects in his home.

00:02:07.920 But right there, you cringe, don't you?

00:02:10.360 We don't like that one as much,

00:02:11.440 which shows us that we don't actually mean

00:02:13.360 servant leadership. See, if we actually were okay with servant leadership, we'd be okay with

00:02:18.580 servant rulership, servant kingship, servant in charge ship. But we're not, which reveals in our

00:02:28.740 hearts, we're not pro-servant leadership. We're just pro-servant. That comes from the enemy of

00:02:37.000 egalitarianism. It's in the home, it's in the church, and it's even in our economic culture

00:02:41.440 today don't like it don't like it but we should we should love that which god loves his word is

00:02:48.260 true and that which is the right thing in god's word is also that which is the good thing that

00:02:53.200 benefits his people all right all right all right stop twisting my arm i know you want to hear the

00:02:58.700 inside scoop here it is the glorious vision of right response ministries for the first half

00:03:04.140 of next year, 2023. We have not one, not two, but three massive endeavors that we will accomplish

00:03:11.780 by the grace of God. The first you already know about. It's our Theonomy and Post-Millennialism

00:03:17.100 Conference. This is selling out incredibly fast. By the time this commercial airs, you may not even

00:03:22.620 be able to get a ticket. I really don't know. So don't waste another moment. Go to

00:03:27.240 rightresponseconference.com, rightresponseconference.com to join us for the Theonomy and Post-Millennialism

00:03:34.700 Conference next year. Now, this is where you come in. We need your help. Our next two endeavors

00:03:40.620 are number one, a documentary-style film, and number two, a brand new studio. Both of these

00:03:47.840 things are seeking to accomplish one primary goal, which is excellent, high-quality, glorious

00:03:55.120 Christian media. We are tired of, as Christians, doing things poorly. We've done our best with

00:04:03.160 what we have, but by God's grace, we want to do even better. This is not going to be just another

00:04:08.960 video. This is not going to be a sermon or an interview or a podcast, but we're going to make

00:04:14.320 a documentary-style film, and we're going to be hiring Nathan Anderson, the director of On Earth

00:04:20.040 as it is in heaven, a very, very successful post-millennialism documentary that's on Amazon

00:04:26.060 and YouTube, came out a couple years ago. He's going to be flying in from Chile to help us direct

00:04:31.820 this film. And our documentary is going to be on post-millennialism and theonomy, why it's

00:04:38.660 biblically valid, why it's absolutely necessary, and why, by the grace of God, theonomy and

00:04:44.400 post-millennialism are currently on the rise. So we're going to make this film and we need

00:04:50.040 your support. And not just this film, but we're going to make all of our videos and podcasting

00:04:56.100 and everything we do here at Right Response Ministries better. We want to achieve the

00:05:01.880 highest level of quality and Christian excellence that we possibly can. That's where the new studio

00:05:07.900 comes in. This new film, our date that we're shooting for is that it would be complete

00:05:12.940 and publicly available in May or June of 2023 next year.

00:05:18.540 The studio, our goal is that it would be completely done

00:05:21.800 in its construction and the equipment and the setup

00:05:24.220 and the stage and everything by January, February of 2023 next year.

00:05:31.300 We need your prayers.

00:05:32.700 We need your encouragement.

00:05:34.220 And for those of you who are willing to do so,

00:05:36.520 we need your generous support.

00:05:38.620 You can give towards these endeavors

00:05:40.340 by going to rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate.

00:05:45.680 Again, that's rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate.

00:05:51.520 Thank you so much for all your help.

00:05:53.680 God bless.

00:05:54.320 Thanks so much for listening.

00:05:55.600 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,

00:05:58.840 take a moment and leave us a five-star review

00:06:01.200 if you enjoyed the show.

00:06:02.800 This is undoubtedly the best way

00:06:05.140 that you can help us get this biblically faithful content

00:06:08.040 to as many people as possible.

00:06:09.860 Thanks so much.
