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

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

plausible again He calls all of us to repentance

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
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

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

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

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

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
hungry to learn from the wisdom of others
who have traveledmdashand who are currently
travelingmdashlifersquos path this book is for yourdquo

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

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

ldquoSteve Hayner has been first a hero and then a friend
since I met him many years ago To follow the
journey that he and Sharol traveled together through

ldquoSteve and Sharol Hayner spent their lives teaching
everyone who knew them just what it means to truly
live for Christ Then during Steversquos final months of life
they taught us how to truly die in Christ This smallbook will now help countless others to find the still

Steve Hayner was healthy and fit and serving as
president of Columbia Seminary when he found out
he had pancreatic cancer He and his wife Sharol
embarked on a journey together with their children that
soon included tens of thousands of visits from friends
and acquaintances via the CaringBridge website Theoverwhelming response to their posts attested to the
surprising and engaging way that they chose to live in
the face of death
As a result they uncovered the remarkable truth that
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
Steve was always known for signing letters and emails
ldquoJoyfully Steverdquo These pages including reflections fromsome of those closest to Steve and Sharol offer us a
glimpse into what it means to walk in honesty with joy
even through great pain

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

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
ldquoThrough the lens of Ecclesiastes Greer
and Lafferty show us itrsquos not a midlifecrisis but a midlife opportunity If yoursquore

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

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

AMY ORR-EWING Director of Programmes for the Oxford

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

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

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

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 the world We are ready to rise up But how exactly
do we do this How does one reconcile What we need

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
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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

What happens when a diverse church glorifies the
global God
Pioneering worship leader Sandra Maria Van Opstal is
known for crafting worship that embodies the global
multiethnic body of Christ But leading worship in
multicultural contexts can be a crosscultural experiencefor everybody Likening diverse worship to a sumptuous
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

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

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for
multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

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

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

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

missional people to live out their sense of Godrsquos call

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
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

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
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
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

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

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

movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations
around the world disciple-making ministries missions

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

intercultural bonds of many worshiping communitiesrdquo

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 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

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

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

intercultural bonds of many worshiping communitiesrdquo

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

Part 3 Practicing in PublicVulnerability with an Audience
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

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

tongue Van Opstal provides biblical foundations for
multiethnic worship with practical tools and resources

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

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

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

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
