The book of Judges tells the fascinating story of the judges in Israel, at a time when there was a noticeable leadership vacuum that led to oppression and disaster for the nation. In those days, much like in modern democracies, each person forged their own morality, truth and spirituality. Into this vacuum God raised up men and women as leaders, despite their flaws and weaknesses, to cure the leadership vacuum and to lead His people back to obedience to His laws.
\nAll too often people look to politics and philosophy as the answer to crime, violence, inequality and social ills, but I believe what we truly need is sound spiritual leadership.
\nBy delving into the lives and leadership of Israel\u2019s judges, you will discover valuable insights to help you on your leadership journey, whether in ministry, family or business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":64961,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[31,206],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-64960","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-books","7":"product_cat-founding-pastors-books","8":"pa_speaker-ps-andre-olivier","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLeadership Lessons From The Book of Judges - Rivers Store<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/rivers.church\/store\/product\/leadership-lessons-from-the-book-of-judges\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Leadership Lessons From The Book of Judges - Rivers Store\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The book of Judges tells the fascinating story of the judges in Israel, at a time when there was a noticeable leadership vacuum that led to oppression and disaster for the nation.
