Book Synopsis The Moses' Way: For a Pastor-Directed Model to Address Conflict by : Gib Allen

This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience and research are clear: when pastors are criticized, attacked, and betrayed, they become confused, frustrated, and at times angry, and consequently, they experience acute pain--often causing deep wounds. Often not sure what to do, some quit their ministry, while others leave it altogether. But most serve for the long haul. Starting out in ministry, the vast majority of pastors have no clue about the conflict they will encounter, nor how to effectively deal with it. But pastors want answers....and Moses provides that solution. How Moses responded to the conflict he faced when leading Israel in the wilderness revealed a unique and comprehensive arrangement of leadership principles. The principles lay a solid foundation for this Pastor-Directed Model to equip pastors to successfully address conflict in a way that brings glory to God. Based on Moses' example, this model is founded on seven essential priorities that every pastor should practice at all times, in order to carry out four simple, yet practical steps to address conflict successfully. This comprehensive approach will glorify God and resolve conflict, bringing peace to people's lives and churches. Endorsements . . . In this book, Gib Allen has provided priceless insight into a solution to all the petty ills that confront our churches today. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to read this volume carefully.

Book Synopsis The Peacemaking Pastor by : Alfred J. Poirier
Download or read book The Peacemaking Pastor written by Alfred J. Poirier and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminaries generally are not very effective in equipping pastors to be ministers of reconciliation, says pastor and experienced mediator Alfred Poirier. The result is pastors trained in biblical exposition, well-ordered worship, and good theology, but with little practical know-how about one of the most important functions they will be expected to perform: conflict resolution. The Peacemaking Pastor provides a survey of the nature and kinds of conflict typical in the pastorate to bring to light the need to recover the ministry of reconciliation. Poirier, chairman of the board of Peacemaker Ministries, shows pastors the importance of a reconciliation ministry, gives them a theological framework for peacemaking, and provides practical tools for facilitating the peacemaking process. Written by a pastor for pastors, this insightful book will encourage and equip seminaries and ministry leaders in their original calling-promoting a culture of peacemaking in the church.

Gives Alternatives to Terminating Pastors and Church Staff Strategies in conflict management for churches and conflict resolution for churches should be included in every church's by-laws and policies, but they usually are not. Similar to workplace conflict, many churches become war-zones leaving congregations emotionally, spiritually and even physically wounded because they do not know how to handle church conflict in a Biblical and healthy manner. Presidential want-to-be, Mike Huckabee is a former pastor in Arkansas. In the Deacon magazine in 1992, Huckabee said, "Churches are using termination as the 'weapon of choice' in targeting church staff problems in epidemic proportions." The same is true today. Conflict management in church is a must if congregations want to be unified and productive in their mission. Pastor, We Need to Talk! gives congregations common sense strategies, Biblical solutions, and tried-and-true alternatives that work. Rev. Hester prayerfully, spiritually, and graciously deals with church conflict in a down-to-earth and straight- forward manner. He gives realistic tips in conflict coaching to pastors and congregations that are preventive medicine for church leaders that is redemptive, supportive, and healing. Managing church conflict and trying to resolve conflict in church families can be over-whelming where there is no plan. Pastor, We Need to Talk!, is well researched with practical and Biblical steps that can prevent church fights and help with compassionate conflict negotiation. Interpersonal conflict and conflict in churches will always be a reality because congregations are filled with frail human beings, but conflict does not have to be negative, ugly, and destructive. Pastor, We Need to Talk! is pastoral care for churches in conflict, and church leaders that can bring about reconciliation and retooling for ministry. Pastor, We Need to Talk! helps congregations and pastors communicate under stressful conditions. It is direct, with helpful illustrations from congregational life in how to manage conflict and resolve conflict. Is your pastor in conflict with fellow church members? Recommend Pastor, We Need to Talk! as a resource to teach your congregation how to manage conflict that includes study questions and a leader's guide for church staff and small groups. Pastor, We Need to Talk! answers such practical questions as the following: Should we confront the pastor or just keep quiet to keep peace? How can we tell when the church is getting into trouble? Why does the church keep making the same mistakes? With these easy-to-follow suggestions, you will discover answers to the following questions: How can church leaders create harmony and keep from getting fired? How can churches successfully overcome their differences and difficulties? How can churches keep and nurture their pastor for a lengthy pastorate?
Book Synopsis Preacher Woman by : Katie Lauve-Moon
Download or read book Preacher Woman written by Katie Lauve-Moon and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2021 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When people are committed to gender equality, what gets in their way of achieving it? Why do well-intentioned people reinforce sexist outcomes? Why does dissonance persist between organizational actors' good intentions of equality and sexist outcomes? This book provides answers to these questions by applying the critical lens of gendered organizations to moderate-liberal congregations that separated from their mainline denomination in support of women's equal leadership yet remain predominately male in positions of authority. This critical methodological study investigates congregations affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) with some dually aligned with The Alliance of Baptists. Although the CBF identifies the equal leadership of women as a core component of its collective identity and women are enrolling in Baptist seminaries at almost equal rates as men, only five percent of CBF congregations employ women as solo senior pastors. This book provides an organizational analysis investigating gendered congregational processes on the individual, interactional, and organizational levels including themes such as gendered hiring criteria, a perceived incongruence of women's bodies and leadership, unconscious biases of organizational actors, and how women pastors' experiences of discrimination influence their more risky approaches to leadership"--

Book Synopsis Pastors Are People Too by : Jimmy Dodd
Download or read book Pastors Are People Too written by Jimmy Dodd and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are your top twenty expectations for your pastor? Now multiply your list by the number of people who attend church with you. Is it any wonder pastors are overwhelmed and underappreciated? They’re expected to know every member by name, preach a “home run sermon” every Sunday, condemn sin without hurting anyone’s feelings, and be available to serve others 24/7 while not neglecting their own family. The intensity of these expectations and lack of appreciation can and does bring the majority of pastors to a place of despair and ultimately departure from pastoral ministry. This practical field guide offers tangible ways to better understand and care for the pastor who cares so deeply about you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether they leave out of preference for another ministry or due to serious conflict, pastors who relinquish parish ministry face misunderstanding and even hostility. Pastors in Transition brings clarity to this little-examined aspect of the pastorate by examining the main reasons why pastors in five Protestant denominations have left parish ministry. The fruit of careful sociological research, Pastors in Transition presents the findings of the largest-ever study of recently ended ministries. More than 900 ex-ministers, representing the Assemblies of God, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the United Methodist Church, were surveyed or interviewed. Besides gathering facts and figures, the book contains personal stories, forthright opinions, and concrete recommendations from former pastors for strengthening parish ministry in the future.
