With Barnabas still out trying to get his book written, Dave and I are joined by our friend and colleague Todd Adkins, who is the Director of LifeWay Leadership at LifeWay and the host of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast. Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why leadership books needs to offer both theory and practice
• Which leadership book Aaron thought was the one he hated (but was actually one he liked)
• What makes a good illustration
• The two books Todd would walk through when developing a leader
• Another round of Leadership Book or Captain Picard!

A few of the books referenced this week:

• Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders
• The Power of Moments by Chip and Dan Heath
• The Leadership Engine by Noel M. Tichy
• Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars by Patrick Lencioni
• Organizational Culture and Leadership by Edgar H. Schein
• Endurance by Alfred Lansing

As always, be sure to grab a few bags of the Table of (mal)Contents blend by our friends at Lagares Coffee Roasters. Also, don’t forget to grab a copy of Aaron’s ebook from The Gospel Project, Jesus Saves Christmas, here.
