Growing as a Follower in a Culture Obsessed with Leadership (Joanne Jung and Richard Langer)

Our world loves to talk about leadership. We host leadership conferences, write leadership books, and attend leadership training seminars. But what if we had a conversation about followership instead? What makes a good follower? Was Jesus ever a follower? What does it look like for Christians to be wise followers? Joanne Jung and Richard Langer answer these questions and more in this interview.

Richard Langer is a professor of biblical and theological studies and director of the Office for the Integration of Faith and Learning at Biola University and Joanne J. Jung is a professor of biblical and theological studies and the associate dean of online education and faculty development at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.
