Book Synopsis Equipping Lay Venture Leaders by : Kelly Brown
Download or read book Equipping Lay Venture Leaders written by Kelly Brown and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kelly Brown, author of Equipping Lay Venture Leaders writes that an intentional leadership process is imperative so technical and adaptive changes can be made by leaders in a rapidly changing world to help leaders be prepared to move the mission forward. This must be an intentional, ongoing process, which grows out of the disciple-making system and helps identify, empower, and deploy leaders.We need to pray for the Holy Spirit to bring us new leaders; for us to see their gifts and potential; and for their leadership journey. When we look at creating a culture of leadership development in our churches, we should take the best of all the other approaches and focus on establishing an intentional process of growing leaders.Brown writes that the best approach for leadership development in a church or other organization is a combination of several of the approaches, many of which are reviewed in this book, accompanied with an intentional overall strategy. Equipping Lay Venture Leaders is written to help the local church focus on organizational goals, specific areas in the congregation where the leader is working or serving, and focus on the needs of the individual leader.

Book Synopsis The Competent Pastor by : Ronald D. Sisk
Download or read book The Competent Pastor written by Ronald D. Sisk and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005-11-14 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to say that a pastor is competent? And how does a competent pastor function? This book is intended to help pastors, seminarians, and lay people who work with pastors understand and answer these two questions. Competence in ministry is a moving target. A ministry technique that works in one parish may not work in another. What works today may not work five years from now. But a competent pastor will be able to adapt to changing locations and changing times. A competent pastor will be happy in her job—or able to figure out why she’s not happy and how to move forward. A competent pastor won’t get stuck—or when he does get stuck, he’ll know what steps to take to get unstuck. Competence, defined by author Ronald Sisk as "the ability to do what needs to be done," requires ministers to understand themselves and others and to keep a realistic perspective on their lives. Competent pastors function by moving toward this kind of understanding and perspective.

Book Synopsis Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit by : Brad Long
Download or read book Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit written by Brad Long and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is something crucial missing from your congregation's programs? Beneath the surface of churches' programs and activities lies the fundamental question of how leaders and churches can be enabled to discern and obediently cooperate with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This biblically grounded book asserts that many leaders overlook the necessary precondition of cooperating with the empowering will of the Holy Spirit before putting their plans into action. Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit is a highly practical guide for nurturing relations between believers and the Holy Spirit, a process facilitated by seven dynamics: Love that draws us into engagement Faith and obedience Receiving divine guidance Exercising spiritual discernment Welcoming the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit Intercessory prayer that shapes the future Seeing and responding to kairos moments Advanced by the church leadership and brought into being by the Holy Spirit, these factors help congregations preach and teach, worship, heal, govern, make disciples of converts, and evangelize.
Download or read book The Marks of Hope written by Juan Huertas and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headlines in The United Methodist church today include words like “division,” “death tsunami,” and “Affinity Group X vs. Affinity Group Y.” So, where does one find hope in The United Methodist Church today? The Marks of Hope, written by three UMC parish pastors, demonstrates that the church can be a hopeful model in a world affected by changes in understanding and expectations related to gender, technology, justice, mission, social entrepreneurship, etc. Each chapter concludes with a “communion” section jointly written by the authors to present ideas for working together as leaders, lay people and congregations to be a model of hope. The authors outline practical steps to hold each other close with mutual love and accountability. From the Introduction written by Matt Rawle: "So what does it mean to find hope in The United Methodist Church today? To be honest, I don’t have much of an answer to what the future global structure of The UMC needs to be. What I do know is that every day I’m charged with loving, serving, challenging, and leading the folks who have found a home in my local church and those who don’t yet know God’s amazing grace in Jesus Christ… We can say with great conviction that conflict takes advantage of the space between us. The further apart we are, the easier conflict can find room to cause havoc. Our culture has grown accustomed to smearing our neighbor with our computer keys, but it is much more difficult to slander the person sharing a cup of coffee with us. The Marks of Hope is our offering of six ways we might hold one another close with mutual love and accountability. Hope is our destination, faith is trusting in that destination, and love is how we get there." The Marks of Hope is part of the Faultlines collection, resources intended to inform conversations around human sexuality and the church.

Book Synopsis The Way of Prophetic Leadership by : Jennifer Campbell
Download or read book The Way of Prophetic Leadership written by Jennifer Campbell and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to address both the bewilderment and desire for prophetic visionary leadership in the contemporary church by a discussion of two significant revivals of the 1600s: the English Nonconformist Quakers and the Protestant French Huguenots. How can prophetic vision be incorporated successfully into the ministry of the church? Campbell argues that the mission of the apostle, evangelist, pastor and teacher is to be prophetically inspired and led in every way by the union of the Word, the Person of Jesus Christ, and the Person of the Holy Spirit. - Publisher

Book Synopsis Pray without Ceasing by : Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger
Download or read book Pray without Ceasing written by Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-08-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking seriously Paul’s exhortation in 1 Thessalonians to “pray without ceasing,” Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger challenges pastors and congregations to put prayer at the center of their Christian practice and theological reflection. In this thought-provoking book Hunsinger reclaims spiritual practices from token use and unites them in a dynamic network of interdependent caring traditions. The book begins with the three foundational disciplines of spiritual reading, careful listening, and self-reflection. Hunsinger then explores prayers of petition, intercession, confession, lament, and thanksgiving. Finally she offers practical, workable suggestions for developing pastoral care groups and teaching care-giving skills at the congregational level. Clergy and laity alike will reap the benefits of this revitalizing look at the spiritual disciplines as dynamic forces in the life of the church.
