Church Leadership & Ministry

“After the Torah, 1–2 Kings, and the Prophets come the books of wisdom. That is the section where I would place Dominic’s book on reimagining church real estate. He offers very pragmatic wisdom strongly tied to the discipleship of following Jesus and equally tied to the mission of the church. Dutra uses his gifts and experience well to provide a missional conversation about property that is, above all, healthy and faithful.”

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Will Willimon’s argument connecting preaching and leadership is fundamental to ministry. Connecting preaching and leadership is as basic as connecting hearing and doing. The encounter with Christ is meant to change people and communities. ‘The word preached leads to the word performed.’ Worthy stuff in a church often unsure of its connection to God’s presence and power.”
