AT MIDLIFE OUR

PERSPECTIVE CAN

BECOME BLURRY

Midlife is a disruptive season where wecollide with limitations on all sides We

recognize there is more of life in the

rearview mirror than on the road ahead of

us We wonder if our lives so far have been

worthwhile We are uncertain about what

lies ahead

But midlife is also an opportunity to

recalibrate our vision Itrsquos a time to look

back take stock of our lives so far andrefocus on new dimensions of identity

and calling

Peter Greer and Greg Lafferty offer insight

for navigating midlife with fresh clarity

and purpose Drawing on the wisdom of

the book of Ecclesiastes they show how

we can come to grips with the realities of

who we are and what we should become

in the years to come In a world that can

seem meaningless at times God offersperspective that anchors us renews us

and propels us back into the world in

meaningful mission and service

REDISCOVER WHO GOD

HAS CALLED YOU TO

BE AND SEE THE REST

OF YOUR LIFE WITH THE

CLARITY OF 4040 VISION

PETER GREER is the president and CEO of HOPE International a global faith-based

microfinance organization Peter is a graduate of Messiah College and Harvard University He previ-

ously served as managing director for Urwego Community Banking in Rwanda and as a microfinance

technical advisor in Zimbabwe and Cambodia Peter is the coauthor of The Poor Will Be Glad The

Most of us have seen dramatic midlife crashes fueled by discontent and perhaps participated in

and experienced some of the damage ourselves Seemingly out of the blue friends or family mem-

bers have had major lapses in judgment Maybe wersquove committed a few ourselves These decisions

make no sensemdashbut midlife is known for rashness not rationality

Many will say ldquoSo be it In the end we die So live it up Indulge the desire Have the fling Pursue

the thrillsrdquo But even as we give ourselves license the agitation persists Deep questions linger We

canrsquot escape them

But itrsquos not all doom and gloom Opening our eyes to our mortality and limitations can allow us to

live more fully Midlife is an opportunity to leave some of our youthful folly behind to look back at

our first forty and refocus on what matters most for our next fortymdashor however long we have Itrsquos a

time to prepare for our second act to get our second wind

After all midlife is a test in the middle of lifemdashnot deathmdashand itrsquos an exam I desperately want to

pass Thankfully I donrsquot have to do it alone

GREG LAFFERTY is the senior pastor of Willowdale Chapel a church with campuses

in Kennett Square and Jennersville Pennsylvania Previously Greg served at both Wheaton Bible

Church and Christ Community Church in suburban Chicago and Saddleback Church in Southern

California

FROM THE INTRODUCTION

ldquoThrough the lens of Ecclesiastes Greer

The Surprising Plausibil ity

of the Celibate Life

SAME-SEX

ATTR ACTIONand the CHURCH

ldquoBiblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly self-disclosing

and pastorally compassionaterdquo 991252WESLEY HILL

When Christians have same-sex attraction how

should the church respond

Pastor Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction and

yet he is committed to Scripture and the churchrsquos

traditional position of fidelity in heterosexual marriage

and celibacy in singleness In this honest book heshares his pain in dealing with these issues but at

the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is

ultimately the only way to experience life to the full

Shaw points out that the Biblersquos teaching seems

unreasonable not because of its difficulties but

because of missteps that the church has often taken

in its understanding of the Christian life We have been

shaped by the world around us and urgently need to

reexamine the values that drive our discipleship Onlyby doing this in the light of the Bible can we make

sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted

to their own sex

ED SHAW was educated at Durham University the Cornhill Training Course and Oak Hill

Theological College He is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol England and

part of the editorial team at livingoutorg He has worked for churches in Durham and

London and was the student minister at Christ Church Clifton for six years before joining

Emmanuel in 2009 He loves his family and friends church and city music and books

ldquoThe big idea of Ed Shawrsquos book is simple the church

must make the biblical commands on sexuality seem

plausible again He calls all of us to repentance

and wisely shows us a better way to battle sin to

understand sufferers and to proclaim truth with gracerdquo

JUSTIN TAYLOR blogger ldquoBetween Two Worldsrdquo

ldquoEd Shaw shares his story and perspective in this book

with deep sincerity conviction and honesty He makes

a profound contribution to the conversation about

same-sex attractionrdquo

AMY ORR-EWING Director of Programmes for the Oxford

Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA)

ldquoAs a Christian who also knows same-sex desire firsthand

I would put a few things differently than how Ed Shaw

does here But that doesnrsquot stop me from applauding

this biblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly

self-disclosing and pastorally compassionate defense of

traditional Christian sexual ethicsrdquo

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

AT MIDLIFE OUR

PERSPECTIVE CAN

BECOME BLURRY

Midlife is a disruptive season where wecollide with limitations on all sides We

recognize there is more of life in the

rearview mirror than on the road ahead of

us We wonder if our lives so far have been

worthwhile We are uncertain about what

lies ahead

But midlife is also an opportunity to

recalibrate our vision Itrsquos a time to look

back take stock of our lives so far andrefocus on new dimensions of identity

and calling

Peter Greer and Greg Lafferty offer insight

for navigating midlife with fresh clarity

and purpose Drawing on the wisdom of

the book of Ecclesiastes they show how

we can come to grips with the realities of

who we are and what we should become

in the years to come In a world that can

seem meaningless at times God offersperspective that anchors us renews us

and propels us back into the world in

meaningful mission and service

REDISCOVER WHO GOD

HAS CALLED YOU TO

BE AND SEE THE REST

OF YOUR LIFE WITH THE

CLARITY OF 4040 VISION

PETER GREER is the president and CEO of HOPE International a global faith-based

microfinance organization Peter is a graduate of Messiah College and Harvard University He previ-

ously served as managing director for Urwego Community Banking in Rwanda and as a microfinance

technical advisor in Zimbabwe and Cambodia Peter is the coauthor of The Poor Will Be Glad The

Most of us have seen dramatic midlife crashes fueled by discontent and perhaps participated in

and experienced some of the damage ourselves Seemingly out of the blue friends or family mem-

bers have had major lapses in judgment Maybe wersquove committed a few ourselves These decisions

make no sensemdashbut midlife is known for rashness not rationality

Many will say ldquoSo be it In the end we die So live it up Indulge the desire Have the fling Pursue

the thrillsrdquo But even as we give ourselves license the agitation persists Deep questions linger We

canrsquot escape them

But itrsquos not all doom and gloom Opening our eyes to our mortality and limitations can allow us to

live more fully Midlife is an opportunity to leave some of our youthful folly behind to look back at

our first forty and refocus on what matters most for our next fortymdashor however long we have Itrsquos a

time to prepare for our second act to get our second wind

After all midlife is a test in the middle of lifemdashnot deathmdashand itrsquos an exam I desperately want to

pass Thankfully I donrsquot have to do it alone

GREG LAFFERTY is the senior pastor of Willowdale Chapel a church with campuses

in Kennett Square and Jennersville Pennsylvania Previously Greg served at both Wheaton Bible

Church and Christ Community Church in suburban Chicago and Saddleback Church in Southern

California

SAME-SEX

ATTR ACTIONand the CHURCH

ldquoBiblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly self-disclosing

and pastorally compassionaterdquo 991252WESLEY HILL

When Christians have same-sex attraction how

should the church respond

Pastor Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction and

yet he is committed to Scripture and the churchrsquos

traditional position of fidelity in heterosexual marriage

and celibacy in singleness In this honest book heshares his pain in dealing with these issues but at

the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is

ultimately the only way to experience life to the full

Shaw points out that the Biblersquos teaching seems

unreasonable not because of its difficulties but

because of missteps that the church has often taken

in its understanding of the Christian life We have been

shaped by the world around us and urgently need to

reexamine the values that drive our discipleship Onlyby doing this in the light of the Bible can we make

sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted

to their own sex

ED SHAW was educated at Durham University the Cornhill Training Course and Oak Hill

Theological College He is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol England and

part of the editorial team at livingoutorg He has worked for churches in Durham and

London and was the student minister at Christ Church Clifton for six years before joining

Emmanuel in 2009 He loves his family and friends church and city music and books

understand sufferers and to proclaim truth with gracerdquo

JUSTIN TAYLOR blogger ldquoBetween Two Worldsrdquo

with deep sincerity conviction and honesty He makes

a profound contribution to the conversation about

same-sex attractionrdquo

AMY ORR-EWING Director of Programmes for the Oxford

Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA)

ldquoAs a Christian who also knows same-sex desire firsthand

I would put a few things differently than how Ed Shaw

does here But that doesnrsquot stop me from applauding

this biblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly

self-disclosing and pastorally compassionate defense of

traditional Christian sexual ethicsrdquo

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

and lsquodoingsrsquo of Jesus not by merely explaining them

away but by representing a fullness of Jesus in the

bull Drawn from personal experience and

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

AT MIDLIFE OUR

PERSPECTIVE CAN

BECOME BLURRY

Midlife is a disruptive season where wecollide with limitations on all sides We

recognize there is more of life in the

rearview mirror than on the road ahead of

us We wonder if our lives so far have been

worthwhile We are uncertain about what

lies ahead

But midlife is also an opportunity to

recalibrate our vision Itrsquos a time to look

back take stock of our lives so far andrefocus on new dimensions of identity

and calling

Peter Greer and Greg Lafferty offer insight

for navigating midlife with fresh clarity

and purpose Drawing on the wisdom of

the book of Ecclesiastes they show how

we can come to grips with the realities of

who we are and what we should become

in the years to come In a world that can

seem meaningless at times God offersperspective that anchors us renews us

and propels us back into the world in

meaningful mission and service

REDISCOVER WHO GOD

HAS CALLED YOU TO

BE AND SEE THE REST

OF YOUR LIFE WITH THE

CLARITY OF 4040 VISION

PETER GREER is the president and CEO of HOPE International a global faith-based

microfinance organization Peter is a graduate of Messiah College and Harvard University He previ-

ously served as managing director for Urwego Community Banking in Rwanda and as a microfinance

technical advisor in Zimbabwe and Cambodia Peter is the coauthor of The Poor Will Be Glad The

Spiritual Danger of Doing Good and Mission Drift

Most of us have seen dramatic midlife crashes fueled by discontent and perhaps participated in

and experienced some of the damage ourselves Seemingly out of the blue friends or family mem-

bers have had major lapses in judgment Maybe wersquove committed a few ourselves These decisions

make no sensemdashbut midlife is known for rashness not rationality

Many will say ldquoSo be it In the end we die So live it up Indulge the desire Have the fling Pursue

the thrillsrdquo But even as we give ourselves license the agitation persists Deep questions linger We

canrsquot escape them

But itrsquos not all doom and gloom Opening our eyes to our mortality and limitations can allow us to

live more fully Midlife is an opportunity to leave some of our youthful folly behind to look back at

our first forty and refocus on what matters most for our next fortymdashor however long we have Itrsquos a

time to prepare for our second act to get our second wind

After all midlife is a test in the middle of lifemdashnot deathmdashand itrsquos an exam I desperately want to

pass Thankfully I donrsquot have to do it alone

GREG LAFFERTY is the senior pastor of Willowdale Chapel a church with campuses

in Kennett Square and Jennersville Pennsylvania Previously Greg served at both Wheaton Bible

Church and Christ Community Church in suburban Chicago and Saddleback Church in Southern

California

FROM THE INTRODUCTION

ldquoThrough the lens of Ecclesiastes Greer

and Lafferty show us itrsquos not a midlifecrisis but a midlife opportunity If yoursquore

The Surprising Plausibil ity

of the Celibate Life

SAME-SEX

ATTR ACTIONand the CHURCH

ldquoBiblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly self-disclosing

and pastorally compassionaterdquo 991252WESLEY HILL

When Christians have same-sex attraction how

should the church respond

Pastor Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction and

yet he is committed to Scripture and the churchrsquos

traditional position of fidelity in heterosexual marriage

and celibacy in singleness In this honest book heshares his pain in dealing with these issues but at

the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is

ultimately the only way to experience life to the full

Shaw points out that the Biblersquos teaching seems

unreasonable not because of its difficulties but

because of missteps that the church has often taken

in its understanding of the Christian life We have been

shaped by the world around us and urgently need to

reexamine the values that drive our discipleship Onlyby doing this in the light of the Bible can we make

sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted

to their own sex

ED SHAW was educated at Durham University the Cornhill Training Course and Oak Hill

Theological College He is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol England and

part of the editorial team at livingoutorg He has worked for churches in Durham and

London and was the student minister at Christ Church Clifton for six years before joining

Emmanuel in 2009 He loves his family and friends church and city music and books

ldquoThe big idea of Ed Shawrsquos book is simple the church

understand sufferers and to proclaim truth with gracerdquo

JUSTIN TAYLOR blogger ldquoBetween Two Worldsrdquo

with deep sincerity conviction and honesty He makes

a profound contribution to the conversation about

same-sex attractionrdquo

AMY ORR-EWING Director of Programmes for the Oxford

Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA)

ldquoAs a Christian who also knows same-sex desire firsthand

I would put a few things differently than how Ed Shaw

does here But that doesnrsquot stop me from applauding

this biblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly

self-disclosing and pastorally compassionate defense of

traditional Christian sexual ethicsrdquo

president of Columbia Seminary when he found out

he had pancreatic cancer He and his wife Sharol

God our good Shepherd provides a feast for us when we

are in the valley of the shadow of death as well as in the

green pastures

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

AT MIDLIFE OUR

PERSPECTIVE CAN

BECOME BLURRY

Midlife is a disruptive season where wecollide with limitations on all sides We

recognize there is more of life in the

rearview mirror than on the road ahead of

us We wonder if our lives so far have been

worthwhile We are uncertain about what

lies ahead

But midlife is also an opportunity to

recalibrate our vision Itrsquos a time to look

back take stock of our lives so far andrefocus on new dimensions of identity

and calling

Peter Greer and Greg Lafferty offer insight

for navigating midlife with fresh clarity

and purpose Drawing on the wisdom of

the book of Ecclesiastes they show how

we can come to grips with the realities of

who we are and what we should become

in the years to come In a world that can

seem meaningless at times God offersperspective that anchors us renews us

and propels us back into the world in

meaningful mission and service

REDISCOVER WHO GOD

HAS CALLED YOU TO

BE AND SEE THE REST

OF YOUR LIFE WITH THE

CLARITY OF 4040 VISION

PETER GREER is the president and CEO of HOPE International a global faith-based

microfinance organization Peter is a graduate of Messiah College and Harvard University He previ-

ously served as managing director for Urwego Community Banking in Rwanda and as a microfinance

technical advisor in Zimbabwe and Cambodia Peter is the coauthor of The Poor Will Be Glad The

Most of us have seen dramatic midlife crashes fueled by discontent and perhaps participated in

and experienced some of the damage ourselves Seemingly out of the blue friends or family mem-

bers have had major lapses in judgment Maybe wersquove committed a few ourselves These decisions

make no sensemdashbut midlife is known for rashness not rationality

Many will say ldquoSo be it In the end we die So live it up Indulge the desire Have the fling Pursue

the thrillsrdquo But even as we give ourselves license the agitation persists Deep questions linger We

canrsquot escape them

But itrsquos not all doom and gloom Opening our eyes to our mortality and limitations can allow us to

live more fully Midlife is an opportunity to leave some of our youthful folly behind to look back at

our first forty and refocus on what matters most for our next fortymdashor however long we have Itrsquos a

time to prepare for our second act to get our second wind

After all midlife is a test in the middle of lifemdashnot deathmdashand itrsquos an exam I desperately want to

pass Thankfully I donrsquot have to do it alone

GREG LAFFERTY is the senior pastor of Willowdale Chapel a church with campuses

in Kennett Square and Jennersville Pennsylvania Previously Greg served at both Wheaton Bible

Church and Christ Community Church in suburban Chicago and Saddleback Church in Southern

California

FROM THE INTRODUCTION

way She guides us through the common topics of

discussion and past the bumpy social terrain and

political boundaries that will arise These pages voice

her call to all believers to embark on the prophetic

journey that leads to reconciliation and transformation

in our own backyards and around the world

Each chapter lays out the next step in the journey With

reflection questions and exercises at the end of eachchapter itrsquos ideal to read together with your church or

The Surprising Plausibil ity

of the Celibate Life

SAME-SEX

ATTR ACTIONand the CHURCH

ldquoBiblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly self-disclosing

and pastorally compassionaterdquo 991252WESLEY HILL

When Christians have same-sex attraction how

should the church respond

Pastor Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction and

yet he is committed to Scripture and the churchrsquos

traditional position of fidelity in heterosexual marriage

and celibacy in singleness In this honest book heshares his pain in dealing with these issues but at

the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is

ultimately the only way to experience life to the full

Shaw points out that the Biblersquos teaching seems

unreasonable not because of its difficulties but

because of missteps that the church has often taken

in its understanding of the Christian life We have been

shaped by the world around us and urgently need to

reexamine the values that drive our discipleship Onlyby doing this in the light of the Bible can we make

sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted

to their own sex

ED SHAW was educated at Durham University the Cornhill Training Course and Oak Hill

Theological College He is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol England and

part of the editorial team at livingoutorg He has worked for churches in Durham and

London and was the student minister at Christ Church Clifton for six years before joining

Emmanuel in 2009 He loves his family and friends church and city music and books

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

Most of us have seen dramatic midlife crashes fueled by discontent and perhaps participated in

and experienced some of the damage ourselves Seemingly out of the blue friends or family mem-

bers have had major lapses in judgment Maybe wersquove committed a few ourselves These decisions

make no sensemdashbut midlife is known for rashness not rationality

Many will say ldquoSo be it In the end we die So live it up Indulge the desire Have the fling Pursue

the thrillsrdquo But even as we give ourselves license the agitation persists Deep questions linger We

canrsquot escape them

But itrsquos not all doom and gloom Opening our eyes to our mortality and limitations can allow us to

live more fully Midlife is an opportunity to leave some of our youthful folly behind to look back at

our first forty and refocus on what matters most for our next fortymdashor however long we have Itrsquos a

time to prepare for our second act to get our second wind

After all midlife is a test in the middle of lifemdashnot deathmdashand itrsquos an exam I desperately want to

pass Thankfully I donrsquot have to do it alone

GREG LAFFERTY is the senior pastor of Willowdale Chapel a church with campuses

in Kennett Square and Jennersville Pennsylvania Previously Greg served at both Wheaton Bible

Church and Christ Community Church in suburban Chicago and Saddleback Church in Southern

California

Wholeness and Justice

We can see the injustice and inequality in our lives and

in the world We are ready to rise up But how exactly

do we do this How does one reconcile What we need

is a clear sense of direction

Based on her extensive consulting experience with

churches colleges and organizations Rev Dr BrendaSalter McNeil has created a roadmap to show us the

way She guides us through the common topics of

discussion and past the bumpy social terrain and

political boundaries that will arise These pages voice

her call to all believers to embark on the prophetic

journey that leads to reconciliation and transformation

in our own backyards and around the world

Each chapter lays out the next step in the journey With

reflection questions and exercises at the end of eachchapter itrsquos ideal to read together with your church or

organization Are you ready to take the next step into

unity wholeness and justice

SAME-SEX

ATTR ACTIONand the CHURCH

ldquoBiblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly self-disclosing

When Christians have same-sex attraction how

should the church respond

Pastor Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction and

yet he is committed to Scripture and the churchrsquos

traditional position of fidelity in heterosexual marriage

and celibacy in singleness In this honest book heshares his pain in dealing with these issues but at

the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is

ultimately the only way to experience life to the full

Shaw points out that the Biblersquos teaching seems

unreasonable not because of its difficulties but

because of missteps that the church has often taken

in its understanding of the Christian life We have been

shaped by the world around us and urgently need to

reexamine the values that drive our discipleship Onlyby doing this in the light of the Bible can we make

sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted

to their own sex

ED SHAW was educated at Durham University the Cornhill Training Course and Oak Hill

Theological College He is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol England and

part of the editorial team at livingoutorg He has worked for churches in Durham and

London and was the student minister at Christ Church Clifton for six years before joining

Emmanuel in 2009 He loves his family and friends church and city music and books

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

mobilizing the church for mission He also coordinates CoNext a global partnership of CRM-like

entities in eleven nations Sam holds a masterrsquos degree from the School of Intercultural Studies

at Fuller Seminary and a doctorate from the Fuller School of Theology

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

The good news is that God is raising up vibrant

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

much more These are all strategic ways to live for the

kingdommdashin venues beyond the local church

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

transform the nations with the power of the gospel He

gives biblical foundations for missional movements

showing that what has often been called ldquoparachurchrdquo

is an equally valid manifestation of the church

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

ldquoBiblically thorough evangelistically zealous humbly self-disclosing

When Christians have same-sex attraction how

should the church respond

Pastor Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction and

yet he is committed to Scripture and the churchrsquos

traditional position of fidelity in heterosexual marriage

and celibacy in singleness In this honest book heshares his pain in dealing with these issues but at

the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is

ultimately the only way to experience life to the full

Shaw points out that the Biblersquos teaching seems

unreasonable not because of its difficulties but

because of missteps that the church has often taken

in its understanding of the Christian life We have been

shaped by the world around us and urgently need to

reexamine the values that drive our discipleship Onlyby doing this in the light of the Bible can we make

sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted

to their own sex

ED SHAW was educated at Durham University the Cornhill Training Course and Oak Hill

Theological College He is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol England and

part of the editorial team at livingoutorg He has worked for churches in Durham and

London and was the student minister at Christ Church Clifton for six years before joining

Emmanuel in 2009 He loves his family and friends church and city music and books

ldquoAs a Christian who also knows same-sex desire firsthand

I would put a few things differently than how Ed Shaw

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

mobilizing the church for mission He also coordinates CoNext a global partnership of CRM-like

entities in eleven nations Sam holds a masterrsquos degree from the School of Intercultural Studies

at Fuller Seminary and a doctorate from the Fuller School of Theology

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

The good news is that God is raising up vibrant

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

much more These are all strategic ways to live for the

kingdommdashin venues beyond the local church

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

transform the nations with the power of the gospel He

gives biblical foundations for missional movements

showing that what has often been called ldquoparachurchrdquo

is an equally valid manifestation of the church

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is

ultimately the only way to experience life to the full

Shaw points out that the Biblersquos teaching seems

unreasonable not because of its difficulties but

because of missteps that the church has often taken

in its understanding of the Christian life We have been

shaped by the world around us and urgently need to

reexamine the values that drive our discipleship Onlyby doing this in the light of the Bible can we make

sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted

to their own sex

ED SHAW was educated at Durham University the Cornhill Training Course and Oak Hill

Theological College He is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol England and

part of the editorial team at livingoutorg He has worked for churches in Durham and

London and was the student minister at Christ Church Clifton for six years before joining

Emmanuel in 2009 He loves his family and friends church and city music and books

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian

minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-

lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

bull Shows how transparency and weakness

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

much more These are all strategic ways to live for the

kingdommdashin venues beyond the local church

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

transform the nations with the power of the gospel He

gives biblical foundations for missional movements

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard

but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both

with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life

Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in

the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become

more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress

Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the

listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to

anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo

John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian

minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-

lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

the Church and lives in Santa Barbara California

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

him And yet Christians continue to disagree on

mobilizing the church for mission He also coordinates CoNext a global partnership of CRM-like

entities in eleven nations Sam holds a masterrsquos degree from the School of Intercultural Studies

at Fuller Seminary and a doctorate from the Fuller School of Theology

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

much more These are all strategic ways to live for the

kingdommdashin venues beyond the local church

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

transform the nations with the power of the gospel He

gives biblical foundations for missional movements

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

much more These are all strategic ways to live for the

kingdommdashin venues beyond the local church

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

transform the nations with the power of the gospel He

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

Many people have given up on the church But

bull Shows how transparency and weakness

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

at Fuller Seminary and a doctorate from the Fuller School of Theology

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

mobilizing the church for mission He also coordinates CoNext a global partnership of CRM-like

entities in eleven nations Sam holds a masterrsquos degree from the School of Intercultural Studies

at Fuller Seminary and a doctorate from the Fuller School of Theology

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

much more These are all strategic ways to live for the

kingdommdashin venues beyond the local church

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

transform the nations with the power of the gospel He

gives biblical foundations for missional movements

showing that what has often been called ldquoparachurchrdquo

is an equally valid manifestation of the church

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

S A M M E T C A LF is president of CRM a worldwide ministry focused on pioneering new ground

among the unreached and unchurched bringing lasting transformation among the poor and

mobilizing the church for mission He also coordinates CoNext a global partnership of CRM-like

entities in eleven nations Sam holds a masterrsquos degree from the School of Intercultural Studies

at Fuller Seminary and a doctorate from the Fuller School of Theology

Many people have given up on the church But

that doesnrsquot mean that theyrsquove given up on God or

Christianity In many cases it was merely that local

church congregations were not the best context for

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

The good news is that God is raising up vibrant

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations

around the world disciple-making ministries missions

relief and development social activism advocacy and

much more These are all strategic ways to live for the

kingdommdashin venues beyond the local church

Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has worked

through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations

to cross cultural barriers renew secular societies and

transform the nations with the power of the gospel He

gives biblical foundations for missional movements

showing that what has often been called ldquoparachurchrdquo

is an equally valid manifestation of the church

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

bull Drawn from personal experience and

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

bull Shows how transparency and weakness

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

bull Drawn from personal experience and

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

FEATURES amp BENEFITS

bull Shows how transparency and weakness

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

ldquoI truly tell you that The Vulnerable Pastor resonated

with the core of my being It not only made being a pastor possible again it made being a pastor wonderfulrdquo

DAVID FITCH author of Prodigal Christianity

ldquolsquoA vulnerable pastorrsquo is often an oxymoron Mandy

Smith is not Her voice is like a breath of fresh air

in an airtight stuffy room This isnrsquot a book just for

pastors but for all of us who want to be lsquorealrsquo with

ourselves others and Godrdquo

RUTH GRAHAM author of In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart

ldquoIn todayrsquos ministry culture fraught with the perception

of perfection Mandy offers pastors refreshing

permission to be human But most refreshing of all

she doesnrsquot just write about her message She does

consultant Tod Bolsinger brings decades of expertise in

guiding churches and organizations through uncharted

territory He offers a combination of illuminating insights

and practical tools to help you reimagine what effective

leadership looks like in our rapidly changing world

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

FEATURES amp BENEFITS

bull Shows how transparency and weakness

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

Smith is not Her voice is like a breath of fresh air

in an airtight stuffy room This isnrsquot a book just for

pastors but for all of us who want to be lsquorealrsquo with

FEATURES amp BENEFITS

bull Shows how transparency and weakness

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

FEATURES amp BENEFITS

bull Shows how transparency and weakness

accomplish effective ministry

bull Drawn from personal experience and

pastoral expertise

bull Includes discussion guide

Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength

and competency in order to minister effectively Thatrsquos

why we go to conferences and emulate the latest

superstars But deep down we know our own limitations

our weaknesses our faults We fear that if people knew

who we really are wersquod be disqualified from ministryNot so Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that

Godrsquos strength is revealed through our human weakness

Transparently describing her pastoral journey Smith

shows how vulnerability shapes ministry through our

spiritual practices and relationships influencing our

preaching teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the

daily schedule Understanding our human constraints

makes our ministry more sustainable and guards us

against disillusionment and burnoutWe donrsquot have to have it all together God has called us

to lead not as demigods but as humans so the world

can see that the church is a place for humans like them

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

intercultural bonds of many worshiping communitiesrdquo

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

own journeys of growth and sanctification May God

use this book to break down barriers and strengthen

intercultural bonds of many worshiping communitiesrdquo

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

S A ND R A M A R I A V A N O P S T A L is a Chicago-born second-generation Latina and a leading

of contexts Sandra Van Opstal offers us testimonies

tools and insights to inform the next steps in our

own journeys of growth and sanctification May God

use this book to break down barriers and strengthen

intercultural bonds of many worshiping communitiesrdquo

banquet she shows how worship leaders can set the

table and welcome worshipers from every tribe and

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for

multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

for planning services that reflect Godrsquos invitation for all

peoples to praise him

When multiethnic worship is done well the church

models reconciliation and prophetic justice heraldingGodrsquos good news for the world Enter into the praise of

our king and let the nations rejoice

S A ND R A M A R I A V A N O P S T A L is a Chicago-born second-generation Latina and a leading

practitioner of multiethnic worship She served as the worship director for the Urbana Student

Missions Conference and has led worship for the Willow Creek Association the Christian

Community Development Association and the Evangelical Covenant Church She is a pastor

at the Grace and Peace Community in Chicago and is the author of The Mission of Worship

ldquoDrawing on years of creative leadership in a variety

of contexts Sandra Van Opstal offers us testimonies

tools and insights to inform the next steps in our

own journeys of growth and sanctification May God

use this book to break down barriers and strengthen

intercultural bonds of many worshiping communitiesrdquo
