Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If most pastors were pressed to describe an average day of ministry, they'd have trouble doing it. In a single day, a pastor may fill many different roles in quick succession, from counselor to theologian to student to CEO to custodian (well, let's hope there's usually someone else available to perform that last role). Some roles come more naturally than others, but every pastor wants to perform each role to the best of their ability. In The 10 Key Roles of a Pastor, church consultant Gary L. McIntosh shows pastors how to - understand and juggle their many essential roles - prioritize their time and energy - manage their people's expectations of them - and empower others to take up the vital work of the church body Pastors just starting out in ministry, as well as those who have been at it a while and find themselves overworked and overwhelmed, will value this practical resource. It is also an enlightening read for those in church leadership who would benefit from understanding the pressures their pastor faces on a daily basis.

Book excerpt: Every pastor struggles with demands for his time, and how to determine priorities in ministry. Some choose to respond to the most urgent needs, while others seek a more balanced and intentional approach. But what determines these priorities? Where should a busy pastor look for wisdom in making decisions? In the Pastor’s Ministry, pastor and author Brian Croft looks to the Scriptures to determine the top ten priorities for a faithful pastoral ministry. These biblically rooted responsibilities help pastors determine how to spend their time and with greater discernment respond to the demands of the church. Each of these priorities is rooted in a direct command of God’s Word, including: Guarding the Truth Preaching and Teaching the Word Praying for the Flock Setting an Example Visiting the Sick Comforting the Grieving Caring for Widows Confronting Sin Encouraging the Faint-Hearted Identifying and Training Other Leaders To be successful and faithful in pastoral ministry, every pastor needs to understand these core callings and make them part of his regular practice. These ten responsibilities guide how a pastor schedules his time, helping him to lay the foundation for a biblically faithful ministry in his church.

If you’re a pastor, you know the tension of balancing (or trying to) the many roles and expectations that come with leading a church. But are you able to distinguish which roles are truly essential? And can you measure how you’re fulfilling them? Portraits of a Pastor features contributions from evangelical leaders like Jason Allen, Jared Wilson, Daniel Akin, and Owen Strachan on the essential roles and aspects of pastoral ministry. Together the book answers three important questions: What does it mean for the pastor to hold all nine roles? Why should the pastor fulfill these roles? How can the pastor most faithfully fulfill them? A pastor must be a preacher, shepherd, missionary, evangelist, church historian, theologian, man of God, leader of his household, and leader of others—a tall order! After reading Portraits of a Pastor, you’ll: Have a clearer vision of the roles you should fulfill in the life of your congregation Be inspired to fulfill your calling by growing in new areas of leadership Know the unbiblical visions of pastoral leadership that may distract you from your core calling It’s true: much is demanded of pastors. But it’s also true that too much is demanded of most pastors. Know what God has called you to, how to fulfill that calling, and what may be distracting you from it.

Book excerpt: How can pastors become resilient in a rapidly changing world? Is it possible to love well and lead faithfully? In the wake of crises that have exposed and accelerated massive cultural shifts, we see more clearly the seismic shifts of post-Christendom, the surging storms of a new paganism and pluralism, and the scattered debris of the cultural aftermath. Drawing on new research from the Barna Group, Scripture, and church history, pastor, theologian, and researcher Glenn Packiam addresses some of the most pressing questions for today's leaders, including - What is a pastor's calling and vocation? - How do church leaders regain credibility in a disillusioned world? - How do church leaders cultivate a deeper life with God? - How do pastors develop meaningful relationships? - Why does the church gather in worship? Does it still matter if we do? - How do we actually make disciples in this new landscape? - How can we face the challenges to unity presented by nationalism and racism? - What is the church's mission in the world? - How do we welcome the presence and power of God in our churches? This book is for all who are burdened by the challenges facing the church as well as the turbulence of our times. With infographics, enlightening data, and insights from other ministry leaders, this book is the perfect resource for church leaders who want to cultivate resilience in their ministry today.

Book excerpt: The foundation of discipleship is sound, scriptural doctrine. The value of sound doctrine is often misunderstood by the modern church. While it can be dry and dull, when it flows from the story of Scripture, it can be full of life and love. This kind of doctrine, steeped in Scripture, is critical for disciple-making. And it's often overlooked by modern pastors. In Hearers and Doers, Kevin Vanhoozer makes the case that pastors, as pastor- theologians, ought to interpret Scripture theologically to articulate doctrine and help cultivate disciples. scriptural doctrine is vital to the life of the church, and local pastor-theologians should be the ones delivering it to their communities. With arresting prose and striking metaphors, Vanhoozer addresses the most pressing problems in the modern church with one answer: teach sound, scriptural doctrine to make disciples.

Book excerpt: The Church is facing tough issues globally, nationally, and locally. Many people are leaving the Church, communities are struggling with no anchor of hope, and people are trying to find a "savior" in all the wrong places. Pastors are stressed, they search for answers on how to be excellent in their calling, and they constantly have big decisions to make when leading and serving people. Those that are currently serving God in pastoral ministry or those of you preparing to enter that calling will find wisdom and insight in this book. I'm passionate about helping you become the pastor God wants you to be. I've written this book just for you. I interviewed 10 senior pastors, asking each of them 10 sets of questions on 10 different topics, to collect information that will help you be a more effective pastor moving forward. Here are the questions we cover: RETROSPECTION - "Based on your life experiences, what would you tell the younger version of yourself just starting out in ministry? MENTORSHIP - "What role have spiritual leaders and mentors played in your life? Who were they, and why were they important to you? How did they empower you and give you opportunities to grow?" READING - "What top 3 Christian books have influenced you the most, and why?" SPEAKING - "What does your sermon writing and delivery process look like? What resources, technology, methods, and mindset do you use?" HARDSHIP - "What is the hardest part about pastoral ministry?" TECHNOLOGY - "What role does technology play in your ministry? How important is social media to ministry? Do you find it important to stay on the cutting edge or stick with what you know?" GROWTH - "How do you keep yourself growing and getting better personally and professionally? How do you keep yourself passionate and fired up especially when times are tough?" FAMILY - "How do you balance work and family and why is that important?" PAST - "How has Ministry and the Church as a whole changed from when you started to now?" FUTURE - "What strategies and tactics should Church Leadership be doing now to be effective in the future?" You will learn from their successes and their failures as you read answers that come from years of experience in this field of work. I know this book will be incredibly helpful to you because as a pastor myself, these conversations, and more importantly these friendships, have been incredibly helpful to me. This book will give you the training you won't find at a Bible College or in a Seminary class; this is battle-tested advice. Invest in yourself and your church by learning from pastors who are walking the road of ministry. If you're ready, let me introduce you to your new friends and bring you into our conversations.
