Planting a Church Without Losing Your Soul
Nine Questions for the Spiritually Formed Pastor
What does it take to be a church planter or other ministry entrepreneur? Beyond the vocational capabilities every church planter needs, there's a range of capabilities more difficult to measure but even more essential: spiritual competencies, which have to do not just with behaviors but also with the motivations, agendas, and scripts that drive them.
