Mobile Ed: LD211 Church Leadership and Strategy: For the Care of Souls (1 hour course)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
With a lifetime of experience Harold Senkbeil has come to understand that everything in ministry—even administration, leadership, and planning—revolves around the ancient tradition of the care of souls. Pastors are entrusted with the care of a flock by the Good Shepherd and are called to be faithful to this task. But pastoring seems to be getting more and more difficult. Based on a sound theological framework, Senkbeil presents a set of practical tools for church leadership and strategy. Calling on his vast experience, he encourages pastors to protect, guide, and feed their flock as Jesus would, bridging the eternal wisdom of the word of God with the everyday practicality of hands-on leadership.
