Practical Advice for Weary Leaders Who Want a Gospel-Centered Culture
for Their Church
Being a pastor is hard. Whether it's relational difficulties in the
congregation, the increasingly hostile attitude towards church, or just
the struggle to continue in ministry with joy and faithfulness, the
pressure on leaders can be truly overwhelming. It's no surprise that
pastors are burned out, tempted to give up, or think they're going
crazy.
While we're quick to assert what the gospel says, we're often too slow
to admit what the gospel should do for our churches: reflect Christ's
beauty through a godly, grace-filled culture.
In this practical guide, seasoned pastors Ray Ortlund and Sam Allberry
help weary leaders renew their love for ministry by equipping them to
build a gospel-centered culture into every aspect of their churches.
Emphasizing the importance of healthy doctrine, they explain that
failing to also nurture a healthy culture can be frustrating,
polarizing, and even unbiblical. This encouraging guide features
Scripture-focused advice on honesty, honor, preaching, leadership, and
mission to support leaders and help them regain a beautiful,
Christ-centered vision for their ministries.
