What happens when the teacher of teachers becomes the student? The story of Nicodemus in John chapter 3 offers profound leadership lessons about humility, continuous learning, and the courage to seek wisdom from unexpected sources.
Leadership excellence rarely comes from dramatic overhauls but often emerges from consistent, small changes applied over time. Just as a boat making a half-degree course correction will reach a dramatically different destination over a year's journey, small adjustments in your leadership approach can transform your effectiveness and impact.
Nicodemus—Israel's most respected religious teacher—approached Jesus under cover of darkness, risking his reputation to gain new understanding. Despite his elevated status and extensive knowledge, he demonstrated remarkable humility by acknowledging there was still more to learn. This encounter culminates in what may be the Bible's most quoted verse, John 3:16, encapsulating the entire Biblical narrative in a single, powerful sentence.
The Gospel of John itself exemplifies this leadership principle of differentiation. Unlike the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) that share similar content and structure, John deliberately takes a different approach. His unique perspective offers fresh insights and demonstrates that sometimes the most effective leadership strategy is simply to do something different than everyone else.
From establishing consistent morning routines to incremental fitness improvements, these small habit changes compound over time to create significant positive transformation. Whether it's writing down your weekly priorities instead of keeping them in your head, or committing to just ten minutes of daily practice in a new skill, the key is consistency and patience.
Have you reached a point in your leadership where you believe you have nothing more to learn? Or are you, like Nicodemus, still willing to seek wisdom, even when it comes from unexpected sources? Join us as we explore these powerful leadership principles from John's Gospel that can transform your approach to leadership and life.

Exciting.

Exciting Beautiful weather in Texas.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It isn't too bad out there.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Almost the middle of September, can you believe that
the year has just flown by?
It has flown by.
It has flown by.
It has flown by.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Wow, it's crazy, right that we're running into
the fall and getting intoChristmas.
I mean, I don't want to—weshould have done a count
Christmas count right.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's probably 100 days away.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, that's my guess .
Not too many, no, not too manydays.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But years ago I was in a marathon training program
and it was brutal.
In the summer we met at 6o'clock in the morning down in
downtown Fort Worth or justoutside of downtown Fort Worth
because it was so hot, and myrunning coach said okay, just
wait till Labor Day, becausenormally we have a big storm
(01:43):
around Labor Day and it coolsall the temperatures.
You know, instead of 100, wewon't have any more 100 degrees
the high will be in the high 80sor low 90s.
So in the mornings you know hewas so right and I still
remember that.
And now we're in September andyou know it's just beautiful and
it's nice and you know it'sfantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I love it because the cold fronts start getting down
South into Texas and and thosebirds ride those cold fronts
down Right, and so the birdpopulation is big, you know, big
right now.
So it's, I love birds and allthat stuff.
So yeah sad to get so quietduring the winter.
You know not that we have a bigwinter.
I'm expecting us to have alittle colder winter this week.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It'll be interesting to see right.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We were spoiled last year it was you know, maybe got
down to 54, you know, yeah, Iknow it was really nice, but I
don't know.
I'm sort of scared on this one.
I got a feeling we're going tohave a little bit colder winter.
I hope not so I like it warm.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, you know, normally in this part of Texas
we don't have all four seasons.
Yeah, you know, it goes fromsummer to fall.
We might have two days ofwinter and then it's back into
spring.
I mean, we just don't see toomany Now.
Rarely we have four seasonsRarely.
But you know we'll enjoy whatwe got.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, that's exactly right, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So we're going to get back into John, but before we
do John, john, john the book ofJohn, the third week on the book
of John.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Third week.
We might have many more on that.
There's a lot of lessons andyou know we talked about this on
Luke and John and these earlychapters.
There's just so many differenttakeaways and different things
that you can do it.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And we'll get to that in just a minute.
But let me just say next timeyou see a bull charging, all you
need to do is stop and takeaway its credit card Of course
that's.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
all you got to do is take away the credit card.
Just going to start them early.
Start them early.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Start them early, Exactly right.
So we're going to talk aboutthe book of John today and we're
going to, but before we get tochapter four, which I know last
week I kind of finished withsaying, hey, chapter four is a
really important chapter and orchapter three.
I mean Chapter three.
Yeah, chapter three, I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Chapter three.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, chapter three with Nicodemus.
But before we do that, I'mgoing to circle back and talk
about something that I just hadin my notes here.
I just haven't said it.
So we have the first four booksof the New Testament Matthew,
mark, luke and John.
They're called the Gospels,which means good news, and
Matthew, Mark and Luke are verysimilar where they're called the
(04:28):
Synoptic Gospels.
They have a lot of similarcontent, a lot of similar
parables.
They might be in a differentorder but they're very, very
similar.
But the book of John isdifferent, okay, and John did
that on purpose.
And so you read the first threeand you think, and maybe I'm
(04:50):
reading the same thing.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, you are.
It was it's very similar, right?
Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And there's some unique things about especially
the birth stories and the birthnarratives and you know, and all
those kind of differentperspectives.
They were written at differenttimes by different people.
But you come to the book ofJohn and it's different.
Okay, it starts different, itends different, and so let's
just talk about leadership andjust without even talking about
(05:17):
a verse, let's just talk aboutthe concept of being different.
And so the question is of beingdifferent.
And so the question is as aleader, are you willing to do
something different?
You know, as someone has saidlong ago, doing the same thing
over and over again, expectingdifferent results, is just the
(05:40):
definition of an insanity.
And so I think a good leader iswilling to take a risk and do
something different.
I mean, just think about this.
Willing to take a risk and dosomething different?
I mean, just think about this.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I'm not a person who owns a boat, or I mean I'm not
on the water very much, but ifyou just, I mean I've got lots
of boats, I'm just not on thewater, do you need a boat?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, but just think about this If you're in a boat
and you just make a half adegree course correct just a
half a degree it might not seemvery much at the beginning, but
over a year period of time it'sgoing to be hugely different.
And the same thing withleadership.
You might not need to dosomething dramatically different
(06:20):
than you're doing right now.
It could just be somethingreally really small different
than you're doing right now.
It could just be somethingreally really small.
But if you do it consistentlyfor over a period of time it
could make a huge impact on yourorganization.
It could be simple, as onSunday night before you get to
the office, you make a list ofthings, your priorities for the
(06:41):
week.
Just write them down.
Don't keep them in your head.
Write them down, just make apractice.
What is your A-list, what'syour B-list, what's your C-list,
what are you going to delegatethis week?
How are you going to do that?
If you just start doing that andmake a habit of doing that and
updating it on a daily or weeklybasis, in a year's period of
(07:06):
time it's just going to be habitand you're going to see
tremendous benefits of your ownpersonal growth and in your
company or whatever it is you'releading, and so, as someone
said, I'm trying to get backinto playing guitar more now
that I'm retired.
And you know, playing theguitar 20 to 30 minutes a day
(07:29):
every day is so much better thantrying to play it for three
hours once a week.
And because you get tired, thenyou make mistakes At least I do
.
You get frustrated and so it'slike no, just leave it out.
Someone said leave your guitarout.
You get frustrated, and so it'slike no just leave it out.
Someone said leave your guitarout.
So you see it, it's there.
(07:50):
You don't put it away, just getit out and just play for 20, 30
minutes a day and over a year'speriod of time.
You make tremendous progress,and the same concept is true,
but the question still remainsare you willing to do it?
Are you willing to do somethingdifferent, starting today,
starting tomorrow?
Just tweak, just a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It doesn't take much.
We were just talking about thatthrough my son in basketball
and he's in lessons and all thatstuff and it's literally 10
minutes a day.
We'll add up Just practicedribbling 10 minutes a day.
Dribble through your legs right, 10 minutes a day.
Over the course of two, threeweeks it gets easier, it gets
(08:29):
easier, it gets easier and he'sstarting to grasp the thought
now, because when he firststarted these lessons he was
okay, you know, but he wasdefinitely not.
You know where he is today andI say you've only been doing
these for a month and a half andlook how far you've came.
You're hanging out.
(08:49):
He had a group basketball thingwhere he got to play with other
people.
Now they were much better thanhim, but he really felt like I
can.
Before he would have just shutdown right, because they were so
far apart, but now they sort ofpushed him.
He crossed that point where Ineed to get better, dad.
I need to do a little bit more.
I'm like 10 minutes a day,that's all we have to do.
(09:11):
Let's go out on the driveway 10minutes a day and that's how
you get better.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's exactly right so the question would be for you
, whatever it is yourresponsibility for.
I mean, you could be leading asoftball team Okay, maybe what
you need to do is make yourroster the night before instead
of in your mind on the way tothe field.
Okay, Maybe you lead a scouttroop.
Maybe you need to startplanning your campouts a month
(09:36):
in advance instead of theweekend before.
Just something, just a littlebit different, and make a huge
difference.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And right up your alley.
You know, one of the biggestthings I teach in leadership and
they wonder why I teach it isyou know you got to take care of
you.
You're number one, right, andyou can speak to it.
You know, but your health is.
If you don't have your health,you're not going to be any good
to your family, not going to getany good to your business,
you're not going to be good ingeneral.
You're not going to be good ingeneral.
So I mean, health is soimportant and I know that you're
(10:04):
a big marathon triathlete whichis crazy to me.
So that is not in my goal tobecome a triathlete anytime soon
.
But yeah, I'm a big as far asthe gym, working out and walking
(10:25):
around the block and gettingexercise and keep your body
moving Because it's so important.
It's mental clarity all the waydown to feeling good and
getting things done, and it'slittle stuff.
It's sort of like I teach inleadership.
I'm like if you do this and youcan start out just getting out
of the shower and just doing 10little squats right there, 10
(10:45):
squats and do that for 30 daysand you're going to look at your
legs going wow, I see a littlebit of muscle definition and
stuff and that gets you excited.
And once you get excited andyou spend that 10 minutes a day
for 30 days, and you create thathabit.
it changes the way you think, nomatter what you want to do,
whether it be meditation,working out, you know, simple
(11:06):
marketing, sending out postcards, sending out thank you letters
for different things.
It's just a good leadershipprinciple to get into.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, and so personally, as far as health,
when we were in Alaska, ourdaughter's boyfriend, john, and
I were just joking aroundbecause I was doing pushups and
planks and stuff like that, justbecause I've had back surgery
twice and I just need to doexercises every day, and so we
were just joking around abouthow many pushups can you do.
(11:36):
And I said well, you know,right now I'm doing like 20, but
I increase one pushup everyweek, like 20, but I increase
one pushup every week.
Yeah, okay, the goal would be tohave 50 pushups by a day by the
end of the year.
Right, I don't know if I'llmake it, but I'm going to just
increase one pushup a week andjust do that every day and my
(12:00):
planks.
I increase 15 seconds everyweek.
So it's like I'm just going todo it and, just like you said,
it's just baby steps.
Baby steps and then it justbecomes a habit.
But you feel better with yourbody.
You just do better.
And let's just say, for example, you haven't been exercising,
(12:24):
okay, and you want to start.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Why are you looking at me?
No, I'm not.
Because you're the only one inthe room besides me, you want me
to look back over here, no, butit's like, okay, maybe what you
need to do is get up earlier.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
So instead of just trying to get up earlier, just
set your alarm clock fiveminutes early, just five minutes
.
Next week, set it 10 minutesearlier, the next week 15
minutes early, and then just dothat over time.
Now go to bed at the same time.
Don't go to bed at like threein the morning and get up at 5,
(13:03):
15.
That is not going to work.
It might work for a day, butit's not going to work for long.
So it's like, okay, I'm goingto get up at you know 6 o'clock
or 5 o'clock or whatever,because I don't have time after
work to do any exercise, so I'vegot to get up in the morning.
Okay, then just set your alarmclock five minutes early.
The next day next week, 10minutes early, and before long
(13:26):
you got it.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right, right, I don't know, man, I'm still thinking
about I'm on this three o'clockwake up thing Really, yes, and
it's like, oh it just it'sbrutal, right, because in my
head, four o'clock, I can get upfour o'clock all day long.
Three o'clock.
I'm just going to have to getup because I lay there for an
(13:47):
hour and a half right and justfrustrating, yeah, just
frustrating.
So I need to get up and just goto the gym because you know, my
gym's open 24 hours.
So I'm thinking I might justget up at 3 o'clock and go to
work out at 3 o'clock, becauseI'm there, it's just so
frustrating and you come homeand your family's still asleep.
Yeah, everybody else will stillbe asleep by the time I get home
.
So that's the only thing I mean.
(14:08):
If I keep waking up, I'm justrandom, it's just what.
I've been waking up.
So I either got to startmeditating in the middle of the
night.
I used to do that all the timeand that would put me in a deep
when you meditate it.
Actually it's like gettingdouble sleep for me, right?
It's like intense sleep withoutactually being asleep in your
body.
I'll get the same results forme.
(14:29):
I've always found.
So yeah, so hopefully I caneither do that or capitalize on
that getting up.
So one of the two.
So it's just so tough just togo to the gym at 3 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It is 4 o'clock.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I can do it, no problem.
3 o'clock just stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, so you get up and maybe meditate and then go
to the gym.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, maybe All go to Jim.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, maybe All right , let's get back to John,
chapter 3.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
John, chapter 3.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, very important chapter with Nicodemus and Jesus
.
The conversation it's classicand probably one of the most
quoted verses of the entireBible is in this chapter John
3.16.
Right, and we'll get to thatlater, but right now let's talk
(15:12):
about the biblical principle ofjust Nicodemus, who he was.
And so he was not just aPharisee, a teacher.
In verse 10, jesus said you areIsrael's teacher, which means
that he was the teacher ofteachers.
He was like the most respectedindividual in that time period
(15:34):
for teaching people the laws andthe rules of the Jewish faith,
and he was so well respectedthat people just knew him.
They just knew him.
Okay, he was just a brilliantman, teacher of teachers.
And yet here's the thing hegoes to Jesus at night and they
(15:56):
have this conversation aboutbeing born again.
And the fact that Nicodemus metJesus at night, that he was
willing to have the conversationto me, says that he was still
willing to learn.
He was so well-respected, hehad so much wisdom and knowledge
.
He was just a brilliant person.
We have no idea how much his IQwas, but he was probably way up
(16:18):
there, but he was still willingto learn and I'm thinking, wow,
from a leadership standpoint,what a great lesson for
everybody.
It's like are we to the pointwhere we feel we don't need to
learn anymore?
Or are we there thinking, youknow, no, I need still, I need
to learn about this, I need tolearn about this topic or that
topic or whatever topic.
(16:39):
And when we get to the pointwhere we think we're too good or
too old or too what aprofessional to learn anymore, I
think that that says somethingabout our leadership style.
So you deal with that all thetime.
You speak all over the countrywith leadership things Talk a
little bit about that particularprinciple.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well, before I get to that, I have some questions,
right, yeah, sure.
I have some questions, right?
Yeah, sure.
So when Jesus come to I mean,when Nicodemus came to Jesus at
night he says he knows that he'sthe teacher, right?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
He knows he's from God and everything yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Nicodemus says that Was the powerfulness of him
meeting at night.
Was it in secret?
Was it inwhat's the powerful atnight there?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Okay, so this is just one opinion.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yes, no, I'm looking for that.
Yeah, because Ianyway I'll letyou speak.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Okay, so no just think about this you are the
most respected teacher of Israelby far.
You're heads above everybodyelse.
Okay, the religious leaders,and this was early in Jesus'.
Ministry.
Even by then, they weresuspicious of who Jesus was okay
(18:07):
.
They didn't like what he wasdoing.
He wasn't one of quote them.
He had all this attentionattraction.
They were hearing what he wasdoing.
He was healing, he wasperforming miracles.
He healed on the Sabbath.
There was just things they justdidn't like about Jesus.
(18:28):
Well, nicodemus was one of them, but he was the teacher of all
of them, and so this is myopinion If he had gone during
the day and other people wouldhave seen him, that could have
lowered his reputation and givenhim less value or less
(18:51):
credibility in other people'seyes.
So he went to Jesus at night.
So that, partly because hewanted to not just be secret
about it, but he wanted.
I think he was like what, ifother people see me, I need to.
I want to know about thisperson, I want to hear what he
has to say, but I also need tothink about my own reputation.
(19:14):
So I'm going to do this, but I'mgoing to do it in secret and
obviously Jesus you know it wasjust Nicodemus and Jesus, so
Jesus had to tell John about itAt some point.
We don't know when thatconversation happened, but Jesus
had to tell John, or toldsomebody who told John, and
that's how we know from theScripture that this happened.
(19:37):
So other people think theremight have been other reasons,
but I think my opinion was oneof the things that Nicodemus was
trying to do was trying toprotect his reputation from
being tainted or scarred orwhatever from the other people
he was teaching.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Okay, does that make sense?
Yeah, yeah, 100%.
That was just one of thequestions I always had, you know
, and you're a little bit moreof a scholar on this stuff than
myself and I just thought I'dlike to get your take on that.
You know, and I assumed itwould be something similar to
that.
I mean, that was the only thingI could think of why they'd be
(20:12):
meeting at night.
But I didn't know.
I didn't want to assume thatthere might have been another
something there that I didn'tknow.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
But what's interesting?
In verse 2, Nicodemus says toJesus Rabbi, we know that you
are a teacher, come from God.
Now not everybody believed that.
Okay, not all of the rabbis,pharisees, sadducees.
They didn't believe that he hadcome from God, for no one can
(20:43):
do these signs that you dounless God is with him.
So the thing that we don't knowis, who is the we in that
particular sentence?
And so it could have just beenhim and a few of the other
people, but he was alreadygaining a reputation that unless
(21:03):
God was doing this, there's noway anybody else could do this.
Okay, so Jesus' reputationpreceded him.
Nicodemus was thinking I need totalk to this guy, so let's just
meet Now.
We don't know how that meetinggot set up, we don't know how
long it was, you know of, youknow how they got initiated.
(21:27):
We don't know any of that.
We just know that Nicodemus metJesus at night.
So my hunch is that Nicodemusinitiated that somehow, some way
, and Jesus said of course andhere's the thing about Jesus he
was willing to talk to anybody.
I mean anybody.
And very next chapter we'd seehim talking to this woman who he
met at, a Samaritan woman atthe well.
(21:49):
So he talks to the highestintelligent person of the day
and he talks to one of thelowliest, common person of the
day Jesus was willing to talk toanybody.
And what a great leadershipprinciple.
Are we willing to talk toanybody?
And what a great leadershipprinciple.
Are we willing to talk toanybody in our organization?
Or do we just say you know what?
No, they're not worth my time.
So everybody was worth Jesus'time.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
One of the things that made me smile in here is
that you can relate topersonalities.
You can relate to personalitiesand when Jesus told Nicodemus
that he has to be born again,nicodemus took it literally and
(22:32):
that confused him, right, andyou instantly know that he's so
smart that some of the smartpeople, the literal stuff, they
don't know if it's sarcasm ornot, or if there's a different
meaning.
They're like what do you meanby this?
How's that possible?
Right, and so, instantly, youwell, I was, you know, because I
teach this stuff I instantlylooked at him like I know
exactly who Nicodemus was, basedon that one statement that he
(22:54):
took it literally, you know, andit's like, because he's a
factual person, you know, and hewas going into that.
So that made me smile.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So, yeah, well, you know different people, you
appeal to different ways, andJesus was telling the truth and
he was telling it in a way thathe believed needed to happen,
but he was talking aboutspiritual birth, not physical
birth, and he was saying thateverybody needs to have a
spiritual birth.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, and he was sort of foreshadowing John 3.16 in a
way.
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, exactly right, and that's one of the John 3.16,
.
You know, for God so loved theworld that he gave his only
begotten son that whoeverbelieves in him should not
perish but have eternal life.
That is probably one of the, ifnot the most quoted verse in
the entire Bible 100%.
Yeah, and rightly so.
It's kind in the entire Bible.
100%.
Yeah, and rightly so.
It's kind of the entire Biblein one sentence, right there.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's like, yeah, so anyway.
So hey, we probably should stop, you know, tell some dad jokes.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
You know you don't want to just keep plowing
through.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
We could because there's so much in John chapter
3, john chapter 4, with thewoman at the well.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
And you know it's just, Next week is another week,
it is yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And just before we get off some dad jokes, just
remember those of you who arelistening that here on the 23rd
of this month is our secondanniversary show of this month
it's our second anniversary show, so if you have anything you
want us to focus on, just emailus at biblicalleadershipshowcom
(24:32):
and we will work that into theshow.
There might be some questionsor something like that that you
have.
We'd love to you know a dadjoke?

I hadn't seen a DeLorean in along time.
Yeah, it was in really goodshape.
It's only driven from time totime.

That's good Still tired, butyou know, there we go.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
There we go, had a good week.
It was good.
Yeah, it was really good.
It's good to be back in thestudio seeing you, brother Tim.
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Exciting Beautiful weather in Texas.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It isn't too bad out there.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Almost the middle of September, can you believe that
the year has just flown by?
It has flown by.
It has flown by.
It has flown by.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Wow, it's crazy, right that we're running into
the fall and getting intoChristmas.
I mean, I don't want to—weshould have done a count
Christmas count right.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's probably 100 days away.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, that's my guess .
Not too many, no, not too manydays.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But years ago I was in a marathon training program
and it was brutal.
In the summer we met at 6o'clock in the morning down in
downtown Fort Worth or justoutside of downtown Fort Worth
because it was so hot, and myrunning coach said okay, just
wait till Labor Day, becausenormally we have a big storm
(01:43):
around Labor Day and it coolsall the temperatures.
You know, instead of 100, wewon't have any more 100 degrees
the high will be in the high 80sor low 90s.
So in the mornings you know hewas so right and I still
remember that.
And now we're in September andyou know it's just beautiful and
it's nice and you know it'sfantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I love it because the cold fronts start getting down
South into Texas and and thosebirds ride those cold fronts
down Right, and so the birdpopulation is big, you know, big
right now.
So it's, I love birds and allthat stuff.
So yeah sad to get so quietduring the winter.
You know not that we have a bigwinter.
I'm expecting us to have alittle colder winter this week.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It'll be interesting to see right.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We were spoiled last year it was you know, maybe got
down to 54, you know, yeah, Iknow it was really nice, but I
don't know.
I'm sort of scared on this one.
I got a feeling we're going tohave a little bit colder winter.
I hope not so I like it warm.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, you know, normally in this part of Texas
we don't have all four seasons.
Yeah, you know, it goes fromsummer to fall.
We might have two days ofwinter and then it's back into
spring.
I mean, we just don't see toomany Now.
Rarely we have four seasonsRarely.
But you know we'll enjoy whatwe got.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, that's exactly right, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So we're going to get back into John, but before we
do John, john, john the book ofJohn, the third week on the book
of John.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Third week.
We might have many more on that.
There's a lot of lessons andyou know we talked about this on
Luke and John and these earlychapters.
There's just so many differenttakeaways and different things
that you can do it.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And we'll get to that in just a minute.
But let me just say next timeyou see a bull charging, all you
need to do is stop and takeaway its credit card Of course
that's.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
all you got to do is take away the credit card.
Just going to start them early.
Start them early.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Start them early, Exactly right.
So we're going to talk aboutthe book of John today and we're
going to, but before we get tochapter four, which I know last
week I kind of finished withsaying, hey, chapter four is a
really important chapter and orchapter three.
I mean Chapter three.
Yeah, chapter three, I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Chapter three.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, chapter three with Nicodemus.
But before we do that, I'mgoing to circle back and talk
about something that I just hadin my notes here.
I just haven't said it.
So we have the first four booksof the New Testament Matthew,
mark, luke and John.
They're called the Gospels,which means good news, and
Matthew, Mark and Luke are verysimilar where they're called the
(04:28):
Synoptic Gospels.
They have a lot of similarcontent, a lot of similar
parables.
They might be in a differentorder but they're very, very
similar.
But the book of John isdifferent, okay, and John did
that on purpose.
And so you read the first threeand you think, and maybe I'm
(04:50):
reading the same thing.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, you are.
It was it's very similar, right?
Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And there's some unique things about especially
the birth stories and the birthnarratives and you know, and all
those kind of differentperspectives.
They were written at differenttimes by different people.
But you come to the book ofJohn and it's different.
Okay, it starts different, itends different, and so let's
just talk about leadership andjust without even talking about
(05:17):
a verse, let's just talk aboutthe concept of being different.
And so the question is of beingdifferent.
And so the question is as aleader, are you willing to do
something different?
You know, as someone has saidlong ago, doing the same thing
over and over again, expectingdifferent results, is just the
(05:40):
definition of an insanity.
And so I think a good leader iswilling to take a risk and do
something different.
I mean, just think about this.
Willing to take a risk and dosomething different?
I mean, just think about this.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I'm not a person who owns a boat, or I mean I'm not
on the water very much, but ifyou just, I mean I've got lots
of boats, I'm just not on thewater, do you need a boat?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, but just think about this If you're in a boat
and you just make a half adegree course correct just a
half a degree it might not seemvery much at the beginning, but
over a year period of time it'sgoing to be hugely different.
And the same thing withleadership.
You might not need to dosomething dramatically different
(06:20):
than you're doing right now.
It could just be somethingreally really small different
than you're doing right now.
It could just be somethingreally really small.
But if you do it consistentlyfor over a period of time it
could make a huge impact on yourorganization.
It could be simple, as onSunday night before you get to
the office, you make a list ofthings, your priorities for the
(06:41):
week.
Just write them down.
Don't keep them in your head.
Write them down, just make apractice.
What is your A-list, what'syour B-list, what's your C-list,
what are you going to delegatethis week?
How are you going to do that?
If you just start doing that andmake a habit of doing that and
updating it on a daily or weeklybasis, in a year's period of
(07:06):
time it's just going to be habitand you're going to see
tremendous benefits of your ownpersonal growth and in your
company or whatever it is you'releading, and so, as someone
said, I'm trying to get backinto playing guitar more now
that I'm retired.
And you know, playing theguitar 20 to 30 minutes a day
(07:29):
every day is so much better thantrying to play it for three
hours once a week.
And because you get tired, thenyou make mistakes At least I do
.
You get frustrated and so it'slike no, just leave it out.
Someone said leave your guitarout.
You get frustrated, and so it'slike no just leave it out.
Someone said leave your guitarout.
So you see it, it's there.
(07:50):
You don't put it away, just getit out and just play for 20, 30
minutes a day and over a year'speriod of time.
You make tremendous progress,and the same concept is true,
but the question still remainsare you willing to do it?
Are you willing to do somethingdifferent, starting today,
starting tomorrow?
Just tweak, just a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It doesn't take much.
We were just talking about thatthrough my son in basketball
and he's in lessons and all thatstuff and it's literally 10
minutes a day.
We'll add up Just practicedribbling 10 minutes a day.
Dribble through your legs right, 10 minutes a day.
Over the course of two, threeweeks it gets easier, it gets
(08:29):
easier, it gets easier and he'sstarting to grasp the thought
now, because when he firststarted these lessons he was
okay, you know, but he wasdefinitely not.
You know where he is today andI say you've only been doing
these for a month and a half andlook how far you've came.
You're hanging out.
(08:49):
He had a group basketball thingwhere he got to play with other
people.
Now they were much better thanhim, but he really felt like I
can.
Before he would have just shutdown right, because they were so
far apart, but now they sort ofpushed him.
He crossed that point where Ineed to get better, dad.
I need to do a little bit more.
I'm like 10 minutes a day,that's all we have to do.
(09:11):
Let's go out on the driveway 10minutes a day and that's how
you get better.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's exactly right so the question would be for you
, whatever it is yourresponsibility for.
I mean, you could be leading asoftball team Okay, maybe what
you need to do is make yourroster the night before instead
of in your mind on the way tothe field.
Okay, Maybe you lead a scouttroop.
Maybe you need to startplanning your campouts a month
(09:36):
in advance instead of theweekend before.
Just something, just a littlebit different, and make a huge
difference.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And right up your alley.
You know, one of the biggestthings I teach in leadership and
they wonder why I teach it isyou know you got to take care of
you.
You're number one, right, andyou can speak to it.
You know, but your health is.
If you don't have your health,you're not going to be any good
to your family, not going to getany good to your business,
you're not going to be good ingeneral.
You're not going to be good ingeneral.
So I mean, health is soimportant and I know that you're
(10:04):
a big marathon triathlete whichis crazy to me.
So that is not in my goal tobecome a triathlete anytime soon
.
But yeah, I'm a big as far asthe gym, working out and walking
(10:25):
around the block and gettingexercise and keep your body
moving Because it's so important.
It's mental clarity all the waydown to feeling good and
getting things done, and it'slittle stuff.
It's sort of like I teach inleadership.
I'm like if you do this and youcan start out just getting out
of the shower and just doing 10little squats right there, 10
(10:45):
squats and do that for 30 daysand you're going to look at your
legs going wow, I see a littlebit of muscle definition and
stuff and that gets you excited.
And once you get excited andyou spend that 10 minutes a day
for 30 days, and you create thathabit.
it changes the way you think, nomatter what you want to do,
whether it be meditation,working out, you know, simple
(11:06):
marketing, sending out postcards, sending out thank you letters
for different things.
It's just a good leadershipprinciple to get into.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, and so personally, as far as health,
when we were in Alaska, ourdaughter's boyfriend, john, and
I were just joking aroundbecause I was doing pushups and
planks and stuff like that, justbecause I've had back surgery
twice and I just need to doexercises every day, and so we
were just joking around abouthow many pushups can you do.
(11:36):
And I said well, you know,right now I'm doing like 20, but
I increase one pushup everyweek, like 20, but I increase
one pushup every week.
Yeah, okay, the goal would be tohave 50 pushups by a day by the
end of the year.
Right, I don't know if I'llmake it, but I'm going to just
increase one pushup a week andjust do that every day and my
(12:00):
planks.
I increase 15 seconds everyweek.
So it's like I'm just going todo it and, just like you said,
it's just baby steps.
Baby steps and then it justbecomes a habit.
But you feel better with yourbody.
You just do better.
And let's just say, for example, you haven't been exercising,
(12:24):
okay, and you want to start.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Why are you looking at me?
No, I'm not.
Because you're the only one inthe room besides me, you want me
to look back over here, no, butit's like, okay, maybe what you
need to do is get up earlier.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
So instead of just trying to get up earlier, just
set your alarm clock fiveminutes early, just five minutes
.
Next week, set it 10 minutesearlier, the next week 15
minutes early, and then just dothat over time.
Now go to bed at the same time.
Don't go to bed at like threein the morning and get up at 5,
(13:03):
15.
That is not going to work.
It might work for a day, butit's not going to work for long.
So it's like, okay, I'm goingto get up at you know 6 o'clock
or 5 o'clock or whatever,because I don't have time after
work to do any exercise, so I'vegot to get up in the morning.
Okay, then just set your alarmclock five minutes early.
The next day next week, 10minutes early, and before long
(13:26):
you got it.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right, right, I don't know, man, I'm still thinking
about I'm on this three o'clockwake up thing Really, yes, and
it's like, oh it just it'sbrutal, right, because in my
head, four o'clock, I can get upfour o'clock all day long.
Three o'clock.
I'm just going to have to getup because I lay there for an
(13:47):
hour and a half right and justfrustrating, yeah, just
frustrating.
So I need to get up and just goto the gym because you know, my
gym's open 24 hours.
So I'm thinking I might justget up at 3 o'clock and go to
work out at 3 o'clock, becauseI'm there, it's just so
frustrating and you come homeand your family's still asleep.
Yeah, everybody else will stillbe asleep by the time I get home
.
So that's the only thing I mean.
(14:08):
If I keep waking up, I'm justrandom, it's just what.
I've been waking up.
So I either got to startmeditating in the middle of the
night.
I used to do that all the timeand that would put me in a deep
when you meditate it.
Actually it's like gettingdouble sleep for me, right?
It's like intense sleep withoutactually being asleep in your
body.
I'll get the same results forme.
(14:29):
I've always found.
So yeah, so hopefully I caneither do that or capitalize on
that getting up.
So one of the two.
So it's just so tough just togo to the gym at 3 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It is 4 o'clock.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I can do it, no problem.
3 o'clock just stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, so you get up and maybe meditate and then go
to the gym.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, maybe All go to Jim.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, maybe All right , let's get back to John,
chapter 3.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
John, chapter 3.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, very important chapter with Nicodemus and Jesus
.
The conversation it's classicand probably one of the most
quoted verses of the entireBible is in this chapter John
3.16.
Right, and we'll get to thatlater, but right now let's talk
(15:12):
about the biblical principle ofjust Nicodemus, who he was.
And so he was not just aPharisee, a teacher.
In verse 10, jesus said you areIsrael's teacher, which means
that he was the teacher ofteachers.
He was like the most respectedindividual in that time period
(15:34):
for teaching people the laws andthe rules of the Jewish faith,
and he was so well respectedthat people just knew him.
They just knew him.
Okay, he was just a brilliantman, teacher of teachers.
And yet here's the thing hegoes to Jesus at night and they
(15:56):
have this conversation aboutbeing born again.
And the fact that Nicodemus metJesus at night, that he was
willing to have the conversationto me, says that he was still
willing to learn.
He was so well-respected, hehad so much wisdom and knowledge
.
He was just a brilliant person.
We have no idea how much his IQwas, but he was probably way up
(16:18):
there, but he was still willingto learn and I'm thinking, wow,
from a leadership standpoint,what a great lesson for
everybody.
It's like are we to the pointwhere we feel we don't need to
learn anymore?
Or are we there thinking, youknow, no, I need still, I need
to learn about this, I need tolearn about this topic or that
topic or whatever topic.
(16:39):
And when we get to the pointwhere we think we're too good or
too old or too what aprofessional to learn anymore, I
think that that says somethingabout our leadership style.
So you deal with that all thetime.
You speak all over the countrywith leadership things Talk a
little bit about that particularprinciple.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well, before I get to that, I have some questions,
right, yeah, sure.
I have some questions, right?
Yeah, sure.
So when Jesus come to I mean,when Nicodemus came to Jesus at
night he says he knows that he'sthe teacher, right?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
He knows he's from God and everything yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Nicodemus says that Was the powerfulness of him
meeting at night.
Was it in secret?
Was it inwhat's the powerful atnight there?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Okay, so this is just one opinion.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yes, no, I'm looking for that.
Yeah, because Ianyway I'll letyou speak.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Okay, so no just think about this you are the
most respected teacher of Israelby far.
You're heads above everybodyelse.
Okay, the religious leaders,and this was early in Jesus'.
Ministry.
Even by then, they weresuspicious of who Jesus was okay
(18:07):
.
They didn't like what he wasdoing.
He wasn't one of quote them.
He had all this attentionattraction.
They were hearing what he wasdoing.
He was healing, he wasperforming miracles.
He healed on the Sabbath.
There was just things they justdidn't like about Jesus.
(18:28):
Well, nicodemus was one of them, but he was the teacher of all
of them, and so this is myopinion If he had gone during
the day and other people wouldhave seen him, that could have
lowered his reputation and givenhim less value or less
(18:51):
credibility in other people'seyes.
So he went to Jesus at night.
So that, partly because hewanted to not just be secret
about it, but he wanted.
I think he was like what, ifother people see me, I need to.
I want to know about thisperson, I want to hear what he
has to say, but I also need tothink about my own reputation.
(19:14):
So I'm going to do this, but I'mgoing to do it in secret and
obviously Jesus you know it wasjust Nicodemus and Jesus, so
Jesus had to tell John about itAt some point.
We don't know when thatconversation happened, but Jesus
had to tell John, or toldsomebody who told John, and
that's how we know from theScripture that this happened.
(19:37):
So other people think theremight have been other reasons,
but I think my opinion was oneof the things that Nicodemus was
trying to do was trying toprotect his reputation from
being tainted or scarred orwhatever from the other people
he was teaching.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Okay, does that make sense?
Yeah, yeah, 100%.
That was just one of thequestions I always had, you know
, and you're a little bit moreof a scholar on this stuff than
myself and I just thought I'dlike to get your take on that.
You know, and I assumed itwould be something similar to
that.
I mean, that was the only thingI could think of why they'd be
(20:12):
meeting at night.
But I didn't know.
I didn't want to assume thatthere might have been another
something there that I didn'tknow.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
But what's interesting?
In verse 2, Nicodemus says toJesus Rabbi, we know that you
are a teacher, come from God.
Now not everybody believed that.
Okay, not all of the rabbis,pharisees, sadducees.
They didn't believe that he hadcome from God, for no one can
(20:43):
do these signs that you dounless God is with him.
So the thing that we don't knowis, who is the we in that
particular sentence?
And so it could have just beenhim and a few of the other
people, but he was alreadygaining a reputation that unless
(21:03):
God was doing this, there's noway anybody else could do this.
Okay, so Jesus' reputationpreceded him.
Nicodemus was thinking I need totalk to this guy, so let's just
meet Now.
We don't know how that meetinggot set up, we don't know how
long it was, you know of, youknow how they got initiated.
(21:27):
We don't know any of that.
We just know that Nicodemus metJesus at night.
So my hunch is that Nicodemusinitiated that somehow, some way
, and Jesus said of course andhere's the thing about Jesus he
was willing to talk to anybody.
I mean anybody.
And very next chapter we'd seehim talking to this woman who he
met at, a Samaritan woman atthe well.
(21:49):
So he talks to the highestintelligent person of the day
and he talks to one of thelowliest, common person of the
day Jesus was willing to talk toanybody.
And what a great leadershipprinciple.
Are we willing to talk toanybody?
And what a great leadershipprinciple.
Are we willing to talk toanybody in our organization?
Or do we just say you know what?
No, they're not worth my time.
So everybody was worth Jesus'time.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
One of the things that made me smile in here is
that you can relate topersonalities.
You can relate to personalitiesand when Jesus told Nicodemus
that he has to be born again,nicodemus took it literally and
(22:32):
that confused him, right, andyou instantly know that he's so
smart that some of the smartpeople, the literal stuff, they
don't know if it's sarcasm ornot, or if there's a different
meaning.
They're like what do you meanby this?
How's that possible?
Right, and so, instantly, youwell, I was, you know, because I
teach this stuff I instantlylooked at him like I know
exactly who Nicodemus was, basedon that one statement that he
(22:54):
took it literally, you know, andit's like, because he's a
factual person, you know, and hewas going into that.
So that made me smile.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So, yeah, well, you know different people, you
appeal to different ways, andJesus was telling the truth and
he was telling it in a way thathe believed needed to happen,
but he was talking aboutspiritual birth, not physical
birth, and he was saying thateverybody needs to have a
spiritual birth.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, and he was sort of foreshadowing John 3.16 in a
way.
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, exactly right, and that's one of the John 3.16,
.
You know, for God so loved theworld that he gave his only
begotten son that whoeverbelieves in him should not
perish but have eternal life.
That is probably one of the, ifnot the most quoted verse in
the entire Bible 100%.
Yeah, and rightly so.
It's kind in the entire Bible.
100%.
Yeah, and rightly so.
It's kind of the entire Biblein one sentence, right there.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's like, yeah, so anyway.
So hey, we probably should stop, you know, tell some dad jokes.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
You know you don't want to just keep plowing
through.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
We could because there's so much in John chapter
3, john chapter 4, with thewoman at the well.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
And you know it's just, Next week is another week,
it is yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
