The Pastor’s Heart with Dominic Steele
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
‘Many of the ways we are running our churches and ministries and many of the ways we are exercising leadership within our churches, has become a significant hindrance to the growth of the church.’
Andrew Heard’s about to be released book Growth and Change will be the ‘must read’ book for pastor’s for 2024.
In his opening preface Gospel Coalition founder DA Carson - says ‘I am usually loath to proclaim that such and such a book is the best in it’s field … but if there is one book that happily serves as the exception to the rule, Heard’s book is it.
Change is painful. Why don’t we want to change.
We cannot be content to just be faithful, if we mean faithfulness has no regard for the growth of God’s church.
The younger leader is more likely to succumb to the dangers relating to a passion for growth. ‘As we age, it is possible to get stuck… We have battled for so long under the weight of small things, that our vision has shrunk to become no larger than the day to day needs of the church.’
How do we get unstuck? ‘Leading change requires significant emotional, relational and creative energy. But most church leaders have very little in the tank…'
