New Book: Attentive Church Leadership
In my
communication business, I enjoy coming alongside of other talented people,
helping them market their product or service, writing their book or speech, or
editing their project or proposal.
In other words, I help them make their words sing!!
I had the privilege of collaborating with my friends Kevin Ford and Jim Singleton on their new book, Attentive Church Leadership: Listening and Leading in a World We've Never Known.
The world has changed. The changes around us present daunting challenges to
the church, and we minister in places we have never been in before.
But there are no one-size-fits-all solutions because every
church needs to attend to its specific situation and calling. We need to listen
for not only what to do but also what not to do. In a world screaming in a
thousand directions for our focus, it’s essential for us to become attentive
to God, our congregation, and our community.
Kevin Ford and Jim Singleton call for attentive churches with attentive leaders who can discern cultural and organizational change and pivot accordingly. Healthy transformation starts with a posture of attention. We need to see what God is already doing in our midst: in our own soul, in our people, and in the communities and culture around us. Chapters explore key questions that attentive leaders ask and offer case studies of attentive churches that have navigated the issues and transitions facing them. As we practice habits of attention, God leads us through the highs and lows of change into the exciting adventure of being on mission with him.
