Excerpt from “Navigating Ministry”

“You long to grow in your leadership, ministry and marriage. Unfortunately those 3 things are often fragmented and kept separate. But God didn’t design you that way. He designed you to integrate every part of your life into life with Him. This book begins to bring light to how all of those things can not only fit together, but thrive together.”

In a sea of leadership resources mined from market place best practices, Navigating Ministry brings a refreshing perspective to ministry leaders. Leaning into the scriptures and 20 years of training experience, this book centers leaders on Gospel practices that will move them beyond simply leading great organizations, to leading healthy disciple making ministries. If you are longing for a gospel centered approach to meet the challenges you face as a leader, this resource is for you.

There is a lot of talk about the changes the Church needs to make to reach the West. But, few are talking about the changes that must take place in leaders who are navigating those changes. We are in desperate need of leaders who know who they are in Christ, what they’ve been called to do, have the skills to do it and the character to sustain them through it all. Using a wonderful mix of biblical exhortation, disruptive questions and transferable principles, this book maps out key waypoints leaders must explore as they navigate ministry in a post-everything world.

Love this practical and challenging word from the PLI Team. They provide a great framework for adaptive leadership in these changing times. Praying that those who apply these insights would grow even more secure in their leadership and effective in raising up the next generation of Jesus following disciples.

Navigating Ministry is worth reading because it helps pastors begin to think more intentionally about their own leadership skills. Solidly grounded on the Gospel and the hope that our Lord gives us, it’s thoroughly scriptural, wonderfully illustrated, and easy to read. Each chapter addresses blind spots and helps develop self-awareness. It provides hope. Not meant to be the final word, its function is to get pastors started on their journey to become more effective leaders in their churches—for the sake of Jesus and his Kingdom. And it accomplishes this goal in admirable fashion.
