311.3 Healthy Leadership (OT Gospel Doctrine Lesson 43, Study Notes)

The Shepherds of Israel

 

Turns out when you are assigned to care for sheep as a shepherd, eating them instead is not the recipe for success. This episode discusses the attributes of good leadership, how to support leaders, and what to do in the case of shepherds who make mistakes. This section explores Ezekiel in historical and literary context and the nature of leadership in the LDS Church.

 

Nancy and George continue the conversation.
