Leaders That Last - How Covenant Friendships Can Help Pastors Thrive (Paperback)

A pastor can't go it alone. With the stress that comes with a life of service, leaders can too easily stumble, burn out, or feel the need to leave the ministry altogether. But with the support of others who've been there, you can increase your impact on the people you serve and enjoy a more rewarding ministry. Leaders That Last provides the solution to the problem of going it alone. Submitting to a mentoring relationship, building strong friendships, and being challenged by fellow pastors to stay faithful to the call provide for vital balance while allowing for growth. The proven Pastors in Covenant model described in this book shows how to form small help groups with other trusted colleagues. These teams hold one another personally and professionally accountable and provide a lifeline during troubled times. "As you well know, Focus on the Family's Ministry Outreach division receives thousands of calls every year from pastors (or their families) in crisis. I'm convinced that a great many of these situations could be avoided if ministers had a proactive support system like the one Kinnamen and Ells offer."-H. B. London, Jr., vice president, ministry outreach/pastoral ministries, Focus on the Family
