Summary: In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Eric Geiger are joined again by Carey Nieuwhof to discuss 5 more lies that leaders believe, just as they did on <a href="https://www.leadership.lifeway.com/2016/07/21/5lq-episode-112-lies-leaders-believe-with-carey-nieuwhof/">5LQ Episode 112</a>. This special episode is being broadcast not only on 5LQ, but also on the <a href="https://careynieuwhof.com/episode177/">Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast</a>. So many leaders are susceptible to believe things that are simply not true. The question is why do leaders believe these lies and how can they overcome them?<br> <br> * If I’m winning at church, but not at home I’m still winning.<br> * If I’m winning in the eyes of my church, then I am winning in the eyes of God.<br> * I have paid my dues and I deserve this.<br> * Either people aren’t being honest with me or people are being honest with me.<br> * My secret sin doesn’t matter.<br> <br> BEST QUOTES<br> “If you can’t lead well at home, you can’t lead well anywhere.”<br> <br> “I thought because we were winning at church, it excused everything that happened at home.”<br> <br> “Ministry is a vortex of theological confusion.”<br> <br> “I’d rather win at home and lose at church.”<br> <br> “Leaders must fight off ministry idolatry, which is caring more about what God is doing through you than what God has done for you.”<br> <br> “If you aren’t right with people, you probably aren’t right with God.”<br> <br> “You can think you crushed a meeting, but instead, you crushed the people.”<br> <br> “In the short term, secret sin will steal your confidence, and in the long term, it will destroy you.”<br> <br> “Not everyone needs to know your secret sin, but someone needs to know.”<br> <br> “Your competency will take you only as far as your character will sustain you.”<br> <br> “If we do not feel the weight of our sin, we’re susceptible.”<br> RECOMMENDED RESOURCES<br> <a href="https://www.leadership.lifeway.com/2016/07/21/5lq-episode-112-lies-leaders-believe-with-carey-nieuwhof/">5LQ Episode 112: Lie Leaders Believe</a><br> <br> <a href="http://myleadershippipeline.com/west">Pipeline West</a>
