Description

I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me— Philemon 10-11

It was far from an ideal situation. A wealthy church leader in Colosse was robbed and abandoned by his servant. The slave, facing the great danger of torture and death, flees to the Imperial City of Rome, where the apostle Paul is imprisoned (or at least under house arrest) and also facing future uncertainty. Many vital loose ends to find and tie up. It takes sound leadership, undergirded the the Lordship of Christ, to victoriously resolve all these issues, now and for future generations. 

Here, in the shortest of Paul’s four prison epistles (the others are Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians), we learn that not any leadership will do. The world offers lordship leadership: ruthless, demanding, abusive, and occasionally, effective in a temporal earthly way. There is also the non-leader: clueless, cowardly, and completely ineffective. Then there is the single-minded, focused, courageous and wise servant leader who does not coerce but seeks to persuade his/her followers. That’s the model of Jesus and Paul.

In Leadership by Persuasion: Understanding the Book of Philemon, you will learn about:

  1. The difference between power-hungry ‘lordship leadership’ and ‘servant leadership.’
  2. The latter type of leader is motivated by mercy and justice, and they convey these things by persuasion.
  3. Paul’s clever techniques of being a persuasive leader.
  4. Why this epistle was the beginning of the end of slavery in the Christianized world.
