Leading on Empty:

 

Refilling Your Tank and Renewing Your Passion
By Wayne Cordeiro (Bethany House)
A 2010 Outreach Resource of the Year

“One pastor’s letter to me began with these words: ’You saved my life and my marriage.’ Currently, I am working with the president of a seminary who read the book twice and has made seismic changes in his life. His wife wrote to say, ’Thank you for giving us faith again for our future! God has used the book to restore our hope that we can make it!’ The depths of these kinds of statements make you realize that what was written may not only be therapeutic, but for some, prophetic.” Wayne Cordeiro

How Does Church Planting Benefit the Sending Church?

Can giving away your best people be a good thing?

How Does Understanding God’s Happiness Change Lives?

As much as I believe in the holiness of God, I also believe in emphasizing God’s happiness as a legitimate and effective way to share the gospel with unbelievers or to help Christians regain a foothold in their faith.

You Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Please Everyone

Learning to balance the natural tension of loving and caring for people, but not allowing someone to leverage their personal agenda or hijack the vision of your church is part of the leader’s responsibility.
