    About this ebook

    The bedrock grounding of church leaders is in God. This grounding comes through deliberate and explicit attention to God through prayer and self-reflection. Leadership as vocation, Christian leadership, begins with self-leadership, clarifying one's own heart, one's whole being, and one's mind in order to find and show that one's most basic identity and deepest and most concrete security lie in God—not in success or in pleasing someone else or in being seen as a good person or being loved by a congregation or the faith community we lead.

    Contents includes:

    The Vocation of Leadership
    The Shape of Our Vocation
    Lessons From the Saints
    What is Good Ministry?
    The Persons We Are and the Institutions We Serve
    The Preacher and Preaching
    Taking Care of Ourselves in the Everyday
    Time: It's Ours to Receive, Use, and Manage
