10 Characteristics of a Spiritually Plateaued Leader
1. Avoids relationships of personal accountability
2. Rarely applies the truths of God’s Word to himself personally
3. Has replaced his joy, peace, and love with envy and resentment
4. Frequently looks for greener pastures in other places
5. Finds faults in others more often than in self
6. Burned out with busyness that has been substituted for simply intimacy with Christ
7. Compromises on ethical principles once held dear
8. Stays w/in safe areas of expertise rather than new learning endeavors
9. Unable to acknowledge the wisdom of others
10. Has reduced the Christian life to a routine

Wow- good stuff. Sounds like an excellent book. I realized that could sound bad- meaning good stuff in that it’s a good heart check! Not that I’m a spiritual leader!

No need for qualifications, Kellie.
I agree … it was definitely a good heart check for me.
