However, as followers of Christ, elders know that real power springs from a spirituality that comes from a personal encounter with Christ (John 15:5). Thus, when the Bible speaks of an elder\u2019s qualifications it describes character more than ability or talents (1 Tim 3:2-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to exercise true spiritual leadership an elder needs to make a conscious personal commitment to consistently engage in devotional practices (Mark 9:28-29), and pledge to engage in an ongoing process of learning in order to develop the mindset of a lifelong learner (2 Pet 3:18). Hence an elder\u2019s example will help to create a culture of learning in the church.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"presentations\">Presentations<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/SL1-The_call_and_qualifications.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>SL 1<\/strong>\u00a0The Elder\u2019s Call and Qualifications (Ch2)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/SL2-Habits_of_a_lifelong_learner_compressed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>SL 2<\/strong>\u00a0Habits of a lifelong learner<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/SL3-Stages_of_Faith_Development.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>SL 3<\/strong>\u00a0Stages of Faith Development<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a faithful leader requires an understanding of the power of leading&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":594,"parent":88,"menu_order":400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-90","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
