What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right: Six Core Competencies You Need to Succeed in Your Calling

Rate this book
Ministry throws unexpected challenges at you. What if a little more training could help you navigate them successfully? Though church leaders take courses in preaching and Christian education, when do they learn about personal limitations and the benefits of intimate friendships? Or what about conflict resolution? Knowledge gaps like these are often the primary factors that lead to frustration and burnout. In What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right , Jimmy Dodd of PastorServe and Renaut van der Riet of Mosaic Church in Winter Garden, FL, outline the six core competencies church leaders need to develop healthy, biblical, and sustainable leadership. Jimmy and Renaut address the critical lessons often missing from ministry training that all leaders need to successfully serve their congregations. Whether you’ve been in the pulpit for years or are just beginning your ministry education, every pastor can make sure they’re prepared for the real-world challenges of ministry.

Easy to read. Each page felt like another great reminder of behaviours we should emulate with examples throughout scripture. The authors also gave personal anecdotes with each trait of good leaders & successful churches.

Biased - bc Jimmy Dodd was a pastor I grew up listening to - definitely some nostalgia built in. Also, not a pastor lol.
