Are you the type of leader who would intentionally allow your ministry effectiveness to be undermined? Do you blindly pursue after emerging trends in ministry and in culture that might lead you into pitfalls? Would you consciously let your own thoughts and feelings influence and misguide you in your decision-making? Probably not.
When you give an account of your leadership to God, I’m sure you’ll want to have done everything you can to hear him say, “Well done!” Soliloquy № 7 looks to the timeless wisdom of Solomon and exposes five areas where church leaders like you can become susceptible to developing flaws in your thinking and make your ministry ineffective. You’ll discover how these mental mistakes affect the way you think when it comes to:
• Defining and achieving success in ministry
• Being missionally relevant and culturally relevant
• Making disciples and building ministries
• Responding to difficult people, situations, and seasons of ministry
• Deciding when to “Go with the flow” or “Go against the grain”
Soliloquy № 7 takes a unique approach to explore these issues, challenging you to contemplate, clarify, and re-calibrate your thought process so you can lead with a new paradigm of how you think in ministry.
