- How To Become A More Effective Leader: Discover What It Takes To Excel by Johnny Hunt – Leadership is a gift, but it’s also a skill to be sharpened and refined. In this book, author and pastor Johnny Hunt will guide you on a journey of spiritual betterment, prompting you to recognize your talents, examine your faults, and learn from your successes as you become a more dynamic and missional leader. As you read How to Become a More Effective Leader, you’ll adopt the habits, tactics, and attitudes God deems praiseworthy in those whom He has appointed to lead.
- Leadership Alone Isn’t Enough: 40 Devotions To Strengthen Your Soul by Dan Reiland – Leadership unintentionally distant from God’s presence can be discouraging, even dangerous. It can easily happen because the busyness of ministry can rob you of the blessing of God’s power. Leading from your own ability risks needless mistakes and failures. Outside of God’s power, we lose access to fresh vision, the wisdom only He provides, the ability to lead well through conflict and even supernatural favor. Leadership Alone Isn’t Enough is a devotional filled with practical insights drawn from both scripture and proven experience. It is designed to deepen the direct connection between you and God

8. FREE Downloadable PDF – Before You Build Ask 3 Questions –
Church building projects often grow out of a need for more space, or a desire to adapt existing space to better suit a church’s ministry goals. Aspen Group receive calls from churches with pressing questions that relate to tactical aspects of renovating space, such as how much square footage to build, or how many seats to add in the sanctuary to accommodate growth. The “how much” question may feel like a natural starting point for a conversation on church architecture, there’s a better approach—and it starts with asking three specific questions.

The Top 75 Leadership Quotes From 2021 Part 2 is my latest ebook. For many entering a post-pandemic environment, leadership looks completely different than the pre-pandemic world. People are more broken now. They are more uncertain. Fear and anxiousness are unwelcome constant companions. Cultures are more unhealthy. Relationships are more dysfunctional. Hope seems to be in short supply. Every day seems to bring a new hacking, natural disaster, or unexpected calamity.
Therefore, the fundamentals of leadership are more important than ever. The quotes in this book deal with the basics of leadership.
