What prompted you to write this book?
I love leadership books, but I saw a glaring gap in one particular area of leadership development: the inner life of a leader.
I began writing this book after being profoundly struck by the reality that scores of gifted and well-trained leaders were crashing. Men and women who have read the books, been to the conferences, and learned the skills are dropping out of ministry not because of a lack of ability, but because of a problem on the inside. |
|
This book not only helps leaders look on the inside, it gives honest commentary on the challenges that face all those who seek to offer leadership in the church.
What are some top challenges facing church leaders today?
Too many leaders walk this journey alone. This was never God's plan. When we walk in community with people who love us, God and the church, we create a place of safety on the journey. One of the reasons many leaders have fallen and can't seem to get up is that they have not invited others on the journey with them.
The other key piece missing in leadership today is a passionate and tenacious dedication to growing our inner life. As we do this, our outer leadership becomes a reflection of a deep connection with God. It flows naturally from who we are in Christ.
Doing ministry alone, and becoming so busy that we don't take time to nurture and examine our soul can cost us . . .
