| Summary: | This article will outline leadership formation from a distinctly Wesleyan theological perspective for pastoral leaders. The formational leadership model consists of three components: Orthokardia, orthodynamis, and orthopraxis. For each component, this article offers a neuroscientific integration and specific spiritual practices that foster spiritual and emotional maturity as well as neurological integration in pastoral leaders. Spiritual formation is assumed to include spiritual and emotional maturity (orthokardia). In addition, leadership formation includes the acquisition of virtues or Christian affections relevant for Wesleyan leadership, such as humility, gratitude, and compassion (orthodynamis). Finally, pastoral leaders who wish to follow John Wesley’s leadership will develop social holiness and practices that promote social justice in their communities (orthopraxis). |
