Dr. Krish Kandiah has the pleasure of interviewing New Testament Scholar and Bishop NT Wright. In this episode, NT Wright reflects on his own start to leadership, Paul and Timothy’s styles of leading, why leaders should read intellectual works, and how we can process suffering in light of the global moment of COVID-19.

NT Wright dives deeper into how Paul was incredibly gifted in multiple ways and was an intersection of special traits that positioned him perfectly for the tasks Jesus gave him. There’s a lot we can learn from the leadership of Paul, and NT Wright gives brilliant insight to this.

We hope you enjoy this rich and powerful discussion with NT Wright.

Dr. Krish Kandiah has the pleasure of interviewing New Testament Scholar and Bishop NT Wright this week. They recorded this in the spring of 2020, a few months into COVID-19 lockdowns, and shortly after Tom released his book God and the Pandemic.

In this episode, NT Wright reflects on his own start to leadership, Paul and Timothy’s styles of leading, why leaders should read intellectual works, and how we can process suffering in light of the global moment of COVID-19.

Tom dives deeper into how Paul was incredibly gifted in multiple ways and was an intersection of special traits that positioned him perfectly for the tasks Jesus gave him. He was a Roman citizen, fluent in Greek and Hebrew, culturally astute to both the broader society and also Judaism. Paul was also incredibly smart, driven as a leader, and capable of developing others different from him like Timothy. There’s a lot we can learn from the leadership of Paul, and Tom gives brilliant insight to this. We hope you enjoy this rich and powerful discussion.
