The rather newly formed “STL Pastors’ Fellowship” was invited to meet for one of their 2015 gatherings in the home of President and Mrs. Mark Dalbey of Covenant Theological Seminary, in St. Louis, Mo (www.covenantseminary.edu), The Fellowship’s co-founders, Pastors Mike Higgins and Phil Brownlee, asked him to provide the teaching for the session.
It was very fine guidance that was biblical and a helpful application for today’s challenges. The essence of it became the content of three 10-minute sessions on Bott Radio Network-owned KSIV-AM (1320) (www.bottradionetwork.com) in St. Louis, MO. You can now listen to these recordings, broadcast on three different days, of Dr. Dalbey’s teachings, summarized from his “Grace-Based Leadership Seminar” … in his own words.
His outline is seen below:
