Overview

FEELING ALONE, ISOLATED, OVERWHELMED, OR STUCK? We live in a world that is uncertain, unsettled, and constantly moving; and the individualism, emotional immaturity, and division of our society have permeated many of our churches and leadership structures-with the body of Christ declining and ineffective as a result. For far too long, the Western church has relied upon solo leaders to meet these challenges, but in recent years, many prominent leaders and ministries have unraveled before us. IN A COMPLEX AND CHANGING WORLD, WHAT KIND OF LEADERS MUST WE BE? Drawing from biblical principles, leadership theory, and more than twenty years of coaching leaders and teams, Bryan D. Sims reveals a Christ-centered vision for shared leadership that will not only bring leaders a greater sense of joy and camaraderie but is also essential if the church is to adapt to the challenges we face and become all God has called us to be.

JIM HERRINGTON, AUTHOR, THE LEADER'S JOURNEY In an era of highly disruptive change and the all-too-public moral failures of celebrity leaders in evangelicalism, we clearly need to reboot the system around more biblically resonant themes. For Bryan, kenosis, servanthood, perichoresis, and liminality are more than metaphors, they are doorways into an ancient-yet-new understanding of the leadership task. This outstanding book by my friend and colleague Bryan Sims could not be more timely!
