The Church is in a Leadership Crisis. What can we do to keep pastors from leaving their ministry?

While every famous pastor who leaves his ministry is in the spotlight, there are countless lesser-known pastors whose departures remain in the shadows. Pastor and bestselling author Paul David Tripp argues that behind every pastoral failure lies the lack of a strong leadership community. Tripp draws on his decades of ministry experience to offer churches twelve gospel principles they need to overcome this leadership crisis. Each of these principles, based on qualities such as humility, trustworthiness, and accountability, will allow both new and experienced leaders to focus on the gospel as the perfect model for leadership.
