Synopsis
The key to effective church leadership is the ability to be a non-anxious presence.
This is not a technique. It is a way of being. It is deceptively simple, but tremendously difficult. Yet, if you are willing to take the journey, you can lead change in even the most challenging contexts. Read this book and you will understand:
- The process that keeps churches anxious and stuck.
- How leadership through self-differentiation gets churches unstuck.
- How to develop as a non-anxious presence so you can lead change anywhere, but especially in an anxious church.
The author has used this approach to leadership in his 26 years of ministry as a pastor, board chair and ministry executive. It has enabled him to lead significant change in the local church, a regional ministry and a denominational professional association. He has been teaching, mentoring and coaching congregational leaders for the last 15 years to help them to do the same.
