Download or read book Unconventionality of Church Leadership The written by Earlington Guiste and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you were to ask a room full of CEOs what the most important leadership trait is for an executive officer, most would share such attributes as authoritative, decisive, knowledgeable, dedicated, tough, tactical, and dominant. It is doubtful that any would say humility. The challenge for many churches today is that church officers and leaders are trained to think in terms of secular leadership practices, which are often void of servility. The Unconventionality of Church Leadership: It Works examines current business leadership principles and compares them with the exemplary leadership practices that Jesus displayed while here on earth. By implementing a shepherd-servant leadership model in our churches and executing a strategic plan that engages and utilizes the talents of all members, Earlington Guiste seeks to inspire church members and leaders to carry out the great commission and fulfill the organismic nature of God’s church.

Download or read book Practicing Gospel written by Edward Farley and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practicing Gospel is a collection of four new and eight previously published essays on the subjects of practical theology, homiletics and worship, Christian education, and pastoral care. Edward Farley offers a more faithful approach to the tasks of ministry for seminarians and pastors too often tempted to equate pastoral care with popular psychology, good preaching with snappy public speaking, or Christian education with flashy curriculum. By holding theology and practice in an inescapable partnership, Farley rightly re-focuses the church's life on its proper object and subject--a mysterious transforming God.

Download or read book Church Leadership written by Douglas Martin Beckman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s western Christianity, many small churches are closing their doors; hundreds of pastors are quitting the ministry. Churches are planted quickly, and just as quickly close and disappear. What can be done to bring a halt to this downhill slide? The great message of Jesus Christ is as important and powerful as it always has been. However, in many churches today, there are dissident elements working to take attention away from the gospel. Dissident non-pastoral leadership (a person or persons who undermine the Pastor’s authority and cause disruption for their own benefit) can destroy the entire vision of a church. In the relatively new church plant called Restoration Church, a church structure needs to be developed that will identify and dissuade the dissident non-pastoral leader from arising to take over leadership on his/her own behalf. The pastor will develop a plan for proper discipleship and training methods based on proven academic and practical research. It is believed that God will have His way to build and strengthen this body of believers for His glory and honor. Ephesians 4:1-16 will be the ever-present beat of the drum: “From whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” (Eph. 4:16) (ESV). It is the goal of this project to develop a church structure and, as it grows, to involve gifted believers to use their gifts and understand that each individual is valuable in the building of the body of Christ under the direction of the Holy Spirit and the Pastor.

Download or read book Among the Firsts Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard L Bolland s Unconventional War written by Matthew T. Bolland and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his own words, the war of the doubly pioneering Lt Col Gerhard L. Bolland—82nd Airborne paratrooper on D-Day and senior OSS field operative on Operation Rype. Unconventional warfare tactics can have a considerable effect on the outcome of any war. During World War II, the United States government developed and employed two new methods of fighting. The first was the development of "paratroop" units, as they were first called. The second was the formation of a covert and sabotage operations branch called the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Lt. Colonel Bolland was involved in both of these "firsts." During the D-Day invasion he parachuted behind enemy lines, jumping out of the 82nd Airborne lead aircraft with General James Gavin. After fighting with the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment for thirty-three days straight, he returned to England and became involved with the OSS Scandinavian Section. He served as Field Commander for their Operation, code named Rype. This was the only American military undertaking, albeit covert, in Norway during the entire course of the war. As a young boy growing up in rural western Minnesota, Bolland got his military start with the Minnesota National Guard, before being accepted to West Point, solely on merit. His military career lasted seventeen years. Lt. Colonel Bolland ended up with numerous decorations including the Norwegian Liberation Medal and Citation, the Bronze Star for valor, the French Fouragerre of Croix de Guerre with Palms and posthumously the Congressional Gold medal awarded to the OSS Society on behalf of all former OSS members that served during the war. His story reveals the struggles, successes, failures and ultimate victories, detailing what went right and what went wrong with these new unconventional methods of fighting.

Download or read book A Call Less Ordinary written by Rich Wilson and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is my calling? What is my purpose in life? And how do I pursue it once I know what it is? Rich Wilson, in A Call Less Ordinary, aims to help you answer those life changing questions. Embracing God's calling is not easy, but it is the most fulfilling thing you can do with your life. And yet, understanding God's call on our lives takes time. It can seem vague, often because we are looking in the wrong places. A Call Less Ordinary will give anyone wrestling with the question of whether or not God has a plan for them a deeper understanding of what it means to find your purpose in life. It will challenge and guide you to find new ways of using your passions for God, and give you encouragement and hope to embrace your calling and live a meaningful life. When Rich Wilson felt God calling him into student ministry, he had no idea what challenges, frustrations, hopes and aspirations would await him as he became movement leader of Fusion - a movement that equips students for Christian mission. In refusing to sugar coat some of life's darkest days, his storytelling and writing illuminates how the call and grace of God reaches deeper into our lives than we often dare to embrace. By drawing on both his story and the stories of other ordinary people following an extraordinary God, he offers guidance and advice for discovering our own calling, and finding ways to pursue it through adventure and adversity. A Call Less Ordinary is both practical and provocative, leaving you energised and expectant for how God is working now and for your future. Could it be that God is both calling and leading you into greater freedom and fulfilment today? "Raw, honest and compelling - a timely and necessary message well-lived and beautifully written for this generation." Pete Greig

Download or read book Unconventional Wisdom written by June Boyce-Tillman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Christianity saw women in positions of authority and a fluid theology that included feminine figures in the notion of the Divine. However, for centuries a male trinity has dominated theology with the characteristics of triumphalism, clarity, order, eternality and unity. Unconventional Wisdom examines the attempt within the last half of the twentieth century to unearth the hidden theological tradition of feminine Wisdom. The book presents the work of influential theorists, notably Foucault, Belenky and Dorothy Smith. The recovery of the feminine in the divine is linked with the rediscovery of subjugated value systems and what this might mean for ecclesiology.

Book excerpt: Change the Way You Think about Leadership At the age of thirty-three, Dr. Albert Mohler became the youngest president in the 164-year history of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was the driving force behind the school's transformation into a thriving institution with an international reputation characterized by a passionate conviction for truth. In the process he became one of the most important and prominent Christian voices in contemporary culture. What will it take to transform your leadership? Effective leaders need more than administrative skills and vision. They need to be able to change the hearts and minds of those they lead. Leadership like this requires passionate beliefs that can stand up to pressure from without and within. In this updated edition Dr. Mohler has added a new introduction and conclusion based on an additional 10 years of leadership. He has also completely rewritten the chapter "The Digital Leader." The Conviction to Lead will crystallize your convictions while revolutionizing your thinking, your decision-making, your communication, and ultimately, those you lead. "Dr. Al Mohler has written a book that shakes us up and challenges our thinking. The Conviction to Lead is poised to become one of the all-time classic works on Christian leadership."--JIM DALY, President - Focus on the Family "Having rarely thought about leadership, I was hooked from the first chapter--to my complete surprise. This is a powerful book and gracefully written."--FRED BARNES, Executive Editor--The Weekly Standard
