For a New Generation

Church Leadership & Ministry

It offers hope and encouragement to every church—dying and growing alike—as they embark on the journey to flourishing. It is an intrepid journey that will require courageous leadership. With this book in hand, you are not on that journey alone.”

The Politics of Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Politics? Ministry? The two words on the surface appear incongruous, even disconcerting. Yet more often than we may know, the derail-er of a pastor or ministry leader is not their own moral failing or lack of competence, but rather the invisible yet powerful systems at work in the context they have entered. These systems are emotional and relational in nature, and unless the leader has been equipped to look for them and engage them appropriately, they may never be effective in their role regardless of intelligence or theological prowess. The resources and tools provided in this important book will help a ministry leader (or any leader) navigate contextual waters that may seem calm on the surface but often have a powerful undertow. An integration of systems thinking, interpersonal relational health, and complexity science, The Politics of Ministry is a practical handbook for any ministry leader seeking to build dynamic, healthy organizational cultures and not lose their own sanity in the process.”

Each essay is accompanied by a striking and provocative image, the words and photos drawing us in, becoming a balm to our weary souls in the midst of the beautiful and the broken nature of life in this world. A labor of his heart, this book is a gift born of love for all of us who stumble along with him in a world hungry for shalom.”
