The church is experiencing a leadership crisis.
What can we do to prevent pastors from leaving the ministry?
For every celebrity pastor exiting the ministry in the spotlight, there are many more lesser-known pastors leaving in the shadows. Pastor and best-selling author Paul David Tripp argues that lurking behind every pastoral failure is the lack of a strong leadership community. Tripp draws on his decades of ministry experience to give churches twelve gospel principles necessary to combat this leadership crisis. Each of these principles, built upon characteristics such as humility, dependency, and accountability, will enable new and experienced leaders alike to focus their attention on the ultimate leadership model: the gospel.

Chapter 4: Balance
Principle #4: Teaching your leaders to recognize and balance the various callings in their life is a vital contribution to their success.
Chapter 5: Character
Principle #5: A spiritually healthy leadership community acknowledges that character is more important than structure or strategies.

Chapter 7: Servants

Chapter 9: Identity
Principle #9: Where your leaders look for identity will always determine how they lead.
Chapter 10: Restoration
Principle #10: If a leadership community is formed by the gospel it will always be committed to a lifestyle of fresh starts and new beginnings.

Chapter 12: Presence
