Shepherding the Pastor: Help for the Early Years of Ministry (Phil A. Newton and Rich C. Shadden)
$13.49Shepherding the Pastor helps new and upcoming pastors understand the common challenges and pitfalls that arise in the early years of ministry and to face difficulties with faith, wisdom, and patience.
Many pastors feel isolated and helpless, especially those beginning pastoral ministry. Phil Newton and Rich Shadden know what this road is like, and they want to share what they have gained from pastoral mentoring—Rich, a young pastor receiving support and guidance from Phil, an older, more experienced shepherd.
Using real life examples of their mentor/mentee relationship, they identify four key practices that will help pastors thrive despite the stresses of ministry: a deepening walk with Christ, faithful exposition of Scripture, continual learning from mentors, and growth in skillful patience with their flock.
- Pastors will learn from the real-life struggles of a young pastor and the grace-filled help of an older pastor.
- Common ministry struggles are identified and readers will learn how to live with faith and wisdom as they shepherd a church.
- New and more experienced pastors will be encouraged that mentoring relationships are an antidote to pastoral burnout and are vital to thriving in ministry
- Published in partnership with 9Marks.
