Ministry Leadership

A Giving Crisis can only be remedied by a Giving Generation. I believe we have everything we need to become that generation—to learn the upside-down world of Christ and become the most generous generation in human history, in addition to being the most wealthy. If you long for financial freedom, boundless joy, and deep satisfaction, join the Giving Generation!

So much more than a question, “Who Told You That?” delivers a profound, yet practical opportunity to stimulate and exterminate the covert operation of status quo thought. It’s calculated provocation carefully positioned in the audio encourages both intentional honesty and uninhibited transparency, while providing inspiration, information, and transformation.

Leaders: Are you feeling overwhelmed in this post-pandemic world? The one-size-fits-all approaches no longer work. You need creative strategies based on godly wisdom that bring people together and break new ground.

Following Sherwood Lingenfelter's successful books on ministering, teaching, and leading cross-culturally (with combined sales of over 200,000 copies), Teamwork Cross-Culturally casts a vision for how teams made up of diverse peoples can serve in unity as the body of Christ despite the complicated problems that arise.

Is your church a rowboat church or a sailboat church? Rowboat churches depend largely on human effort. When church budgets shrink and membership declines, rowboat churches frantically row harder against a current. Sailboat churches, on the other hand, take up the oars, hoist sails, and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them. Arguing that churches should be "sailboats," Joan S. Gray encourages listeners to shift concern from the many daily, practical concerns of their local church to fresh ideas that can be found using the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

When I was called to pastor my first church, I was certain of only one thing—I was in over my head! This small church had nearly closed its doors. They were running about 35 on a Sunday, were steeped in tradition, and I was bi-vocational. I had a dream of revitalizing our church to become a healthy, evangelistically effective church that was fulfilling the Great Commandment and the Great Commission but wasn’t sure how to do it. The D.R.E.A.M. Church shares the strategies that our church and thousands of others have used to experience healthy, long-term growth.

In today's fast-paced world, Christian women often find themselves torn between the demands of leadership roles and the values they hold dear. This book unlocks the synergies between faith and leadership, empowering you to excel in every aspect of your life—from business and ministry to personal growth and family life.

In Steering Through Chaos, Pastor Scott Wilson helps church leaders plan for healthy changes by making strategic choices that please God and grow your ministry. Since challenges tend to multiply during times of transition, Wilson shares wise insight on building new facilities, changing staff structure, adding services, becoming a multisite ministry, and more. During the struggles of transition, doubts inevitably arise. At those moments, leaders need assurance that they have a real and authentic vision from God. Wilson encourages you to follow the call and to lead with confidence and courage.

Every leader wants to finish well, but sometimes the challenges and discouragements in life become too much to handle. Overwhelmed, we settle for less than God's best. Whether you are just beginning your ministry journey or you are a seasoned veteran who is feeling tired, ineffective, or ready to quit...maybe it's time for a Leadership Awakening! Your life can be marked by God's goodness all the way to the finish line. Don't allow yourself to become a casualty on the battlefield of Christian leadership.

¿No es suficiente con que un cristiano siga la transmisión en vivo de un servicio de la iglesia? ¿Todavía vale la pena unirse a una congregación local? ¿En realidad es tan importante reunirse todas las semanas? ¿Por qué debería ir a la iglesia (de nuevo)? Collin Hansen y Jonathan Leeman abordan estas preguntas. Quieren ayudarte a redescubrir por qué la iglesia es tan importante. La iglesia es más que una transmisión en vivo; es una comunidad que, como pueblo de Dios, aprende a ser el cuerpo de Cristo. Necesitas a otros (y otros necesitan de ti) para ser cristiano.

"Show me your ways, o Lord; teach me your paths" (Psalm 25:4 NKJV). Have you noticed most things that remain significant today are remnants from the "old" ways? Ancient Paths has been designed to draw you back to the unique routes of those who have followed God and began to chase the narrow way. These age-old examples are the less traveled routes that you will begin to tread and where transformation will occur. Michelle Gehrt shares supernatural insights into what life is like when we are walking out our destinies that God has purposed for us.

This time, Mirosław Wlekły meets rebellious Catholics. He travelled the world from Argentina to Birma, from Brazil to Liban, from the Dominican Republic to England. The fruit of his travels is “Ruckus!”, which can be heard as a story about an attempt to return to the roots of Christianity, or like a report about the state of the world and fortitude, which raises the question - will we ever be ready for a ruckus in the Polish Church?

On the outside, many of today’s businesspeople appear strong and in charge. On the inside, however, many struggle with five obstacles that deter them from the success God intended: pain, financial slavery, lack of confidence, busyness/distractions, and fear. God Is My Success shows that your adversity holds the key to your destiny and to the accomplishment God planned for you. God doesn’t promise a life free of adversity. He does, however, promise to be with you in your adversity. As you partner with God to overcome your obstacles, you’ll discover that ultimately, God Himself is your success.

Der Wahl des neuen Papstes ist eine Revolution, eine Umwälzung von gewaltiger Bedeutung, im Vatikan vorausgegangen, die ihren Schatten auf alle folgenden Ereignisse geworfen hat. Was hat Benedikt XVI. tatsächlich zum Rücktritt, zum ersten Rücktritt eines Papstes seit über 700 Jahren, bewogen?

You can be young, passionate about Jesus Christ, surrounded by diversity, engaged in a postmodern world, and reared in evangelicalism and not be an emergent Christian. In fact I want to argue that it would be better if you weren't. The Emergent Church is a strong voice in today's Christian community. And they're talking about good things: caring for the poor, peace for all men, loving Jesus. They're doing church a new way, not content to fit the mold. Again, all good. But there's more to the movement than that.

Is the way we do church making disciples of our people and helping them fulfil their God-given purpose? There can be no apathy, restlessness, or boredom in such a church! In his warm and candid style, Howard Webb shows how the scriptural model of church as a mission-centered family embracing its place is the way to both grow our people and grow the Kingdom. Here is a vision of church that has the power to transform us and our world.

Like many who will pick up this book, I am a believer in Jesus Christ. I grew up and currently participate in the American Church scene. I have been to churches in shopping plazas, historic towns, major metropolitan areas, suburbs, cultural hubs, bilingual demographics, and much more. While each has its virtues, singing with their own cadence and tempo, it is always the same tune.

These letters by a seasoned, influential pastor address a variety of ministry issues, as well as physical suffering, overcoming sin, learning to forgive, spiritual warfare, etc. We learn that a leader should be the chief servant and that right attitudes come only from a heart changed by an encounter with God.
