How can pastors become resilient in a rapidly changing world? In the wake of crises that have exposed and accelerated massive cultural shifts, we see more clearly the seismic shifts of post-Christendom, the surging storms of a new paganism and pluralism, and the scattered debris of the cultural aftermath.
Drawing on new research from the Barna Group, scripture, and church history, Glenn Packiam addresses some of the most pressing questions for today's leaders, including what is a pastor's calling and vocation?; how do church leaders regain credibility in a disillusioned world?; how do church leaders cultivate a deeper life with God?; how do pastors develop meaningful relationships?; why does the church gather in worship? Does it still matter if we do?; how can we face the challenges to unity presented by nationalism and racism? what is the church's mission in the world?; and how do we welcome the presence and power of God in our churches?
With enlightening data, and insights from other ministry leaders, this book is the perfect resource for church leaders who want to cultivate resilience in their ministry today.
