Are your business meetings at church unproductive? Do your leadership development programs need to be developed? Are you lacking experienced teachers and trainers, and only using the volunteers that are available – and have no program to build them up? Have you ever had those tough conversations about your church’s needs in the areas of business, teaching, and training? Motivational speaker, corporate trainer, and business professor, Steve McCullar talks about starting those conversations.

With over 20 years of teaching and training experience in academic and corporate settings, along with experience working in ministry and developing church programs. Steve uses biblical principles to start conversations. Through stories, humor, and practical tips and strategies, he demonstrates the importance of organizational alignment within the churches, especially in the area of learning and development. Among these pages you’ll discover topics about:

• Why Jesus was called the Master Teacher and not the Master Preacher

• Dealing with “church folk” who only want to hear, but don’t want to do

• The importance of teachers and trainers in your church

• Why your church meetings have increased socializing but decreased results

• Pastoral relationships with the teachers and trainers, and pitfalls for all

• Teaching and Training are ministries!

While many shy away from what they call a “corporate” approach, this book demonstrates through scripture how God is a businessman. Be prepared to put away the thinking that the church should not operate with standard business practices. But also, be prepared to let go of the business practices that you encounter outside of the church, as those negative, unproductive, and sometimes divisive practices do not have to continue within the church.

This book is an excellent resource for teachers, trainers, and even pastors because it will help to identify areas that need to be discussed. Don't shy away from the conversations!

A Vision of Pastoring That is Rare but Inspiring
Format: Kindle
No one has been more helpful to me from afar in church planting and pastoring than Eugene Peterson. His vision of pastoring is inspiring but increasingly rare in the church growth landscape of the Evangelical industrial complex. “The pastors of America have metamorphosed into a company of shopkeepers, and the shops they keep are churches. They are preoccupied with shopkeeper’s concerns—how to keep the customers happy, how to lure customers away from competitors down the street, how to package the goods so that the customers will lay out more money.” In this book, Peterson offers up an alternate view—a biblical view—of the work of the pastor: prayer, reading Scripture, and offering spiritual direction. This work is modest work—hard work—but it is the good work God has called us to.

Excellent
Format: Kindle
An excellent work on the essential shape of pastoral work. A very convicting and important read for those who work in ministry- prayer, scripture, and spiritual direction will never be demanded of us, but are non-negotiable in order to maintain our call.

A must read for any pastor or spiritual leader
Format: Paperback
This book is profoundly insightful and easy to read and understand. It is not heavily theological (and does not need to be). It is practical. I have purchased an additional copy to give my pastor for his birthday. If he has already read it, he can pass it on. EVERY pastor needs to read this and practice these tips, which many do not receive in seminary. THIS is the type of pastor I want and need (and my pastor does embody much of what Peterson describes). I think pastors should read this every year or two to reassess their progress toward keeping these goals always in mind and in practice as much as possible.

A still timely writing for all pastors
Format: Paperback
Although first published 25 years ago, Peterson addresses a matter that is still timely, the need for all pastors to commit themselves to prayer, reading scripture and spiritual direction. These, Peterson asserts, are an essential foundation for all other aspects of ministry. Peterson's premise, that many pastors have abdicated their primary calling to these three practices, is still very relavent to the current state of pastoral ministry. Its content will be useful for new and veteran pastors alike.
