What might God be up to amid the seismic changes the church and our culture are undergoing? What opportunities will congregations encounter if they rediscover and follow God\'s leading? Leading Faithful Innovation offers a practical, hands-on approach to addressing this challenge, a process that culminates in the hope that comes from Following the Spirit.
It is an ongoing way of Following God that allows the Spirit of God to drive the energy among the people of the church..
It is a path to a new normal.
Throughout the book, the authors demonstrate that Faithful innovation is not another program or an add-on to what readers are already doing.
These topics are again fleshed out with real-life stories and undergirded by suggested practices.
The authors present leadership practices that invite readers to redefine their leadership identity, accept the loss of their role as the primary driver of their congregation, and discover new hope and possibility.
The book then examines how these steps change the culture of a church, establishing a new, biblically grounded way of being church.
Real-life stories and supportive spiritual practices make each step toward effective change accessible and actionable.
This Faithful innovation begins with a three-step process: listening to God and to each other, acting so we can learn, and sharing our stories in community.
Dwight Zscheile, Michael Binder, and Tessa Pinkstaff build on Scripture, theology, and the latest leadership and change theories to guide church leaders on a journey toward grassroots, participatory spiritual growth.
