In an age where ethical dilemmas and rapid transformations challenge the corporate world, a groundbreaking exploration into the fusion of faith and leadership offers a compelling blueprint for guiding ethical decision-making and nurturing visionary leadership. Dr. Sarah Sun Liew, through her seminal works, “Guidance from the Past, Vision for the Future: Biblical Leadership in Today’s World” alongside her initiative with Global Jesus Mission to empower business leaders for Kingdom impact, presents an indispensable narrative on how faith plays a pivotal role in sculpting leaders who are not only practical but also conscientious and forward-thinking.
Dr. Liew’s distinguished career as a senior pastor, coupled with her extensive experience as a leader, imbues her with a unique perspective on integrating faith as a moral compass and an inspirational force within the corporate landscape. Her insights delve into biblical narratives, extracting timeless principles that resonate profoundly with contemporary leadership challenges.
The Ethical Compass
In today’s business environment, where ethical boundaries often appear nebulous, Dr. Liew emphasizes faith as an ethical compass guiding leaders toward integrity and righteousness. The biblical story of Daniel, who remained steadfast in his faith despite facing personal peril, serves as a testament to how deep-rooted beliefs can fortify leaders to uphold ethical standards unwaveringly.
For modern leaders, embedding faith into their leadership ethos encourages a culture of integrity within organizations. It instills accountability not only towards stakeholders but towards a higher ethical calling. This approach breeds stakeholder trust, bolsters organizational reputation, and secures long-term sustainability.

Visionary Leadership Inspired by Faith
The ability to envision beyond the immediate—to imagine what could be—is essential in today’s fast-evolving business sphere. Faith inspires such visionary leadership; it propels leaders like Moses and Abraham, who embarked on journeys toward transformative promises guided by their unwavering belief.
Incorporating faith into one’s leadership practice motivates setting ambitious goals that extend beyond financial success to societal impact. It imbues purpose that transcends profit-making—aiming for transformative effects on lives and communities—a vision that motivates teams and attracts customers and partners aligned with these values.
Navigating Challenges with Faith
The corporate arena is fraught with hurdles—from financial downturns to ethical quandaries. Faith acts as a reservoir of strength and resilience for leaders confronting adversities. The biblical account of Job illustrates unshakeable faith amidst trials—a lesson for contemporary leaders to view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles.
Faith fosters reflective leadership. It encourages guidance through prayer or meditation, which can offer clarity, alleviate stress, and lead to more thoughtful decisions. Leaders who share how faith aids them through difficulties can inspire resilience and optimism within their teams.
