Character Matters: Shepherding in the Fruit of the Spirit (Aaron Menikoff)
Pastor, it’s time to turn down the noise and focus on what matters.
Today’s pastoral world is packed with books, conferences, and seminars teaching you different techniques for being an all-star pastor, growing your church quickly, and changing the world. But the key to true success is much harder and much simpler. Pastors are called to be faithful, to have exemplary character, and to love Jesus. Without faithfulness, their ministry ends up harming others rather than helping them. Churches need pastors with sound doctrine and a sound life.
Character Matters was written to help you slow down, cut through the noise and distractions, and focus on what matters—the fruit of the Spirit. Each chapter is a guided, biblical meditation on one aspect of each piece of the fruit of the Spirit. As you reflect and focus on the simple things that matter, you’ll see your heart change and your ministry follow, slowly, surely, and by the power of the Spirit.

The Trellis and the Vine: The Ministry Mind-Shift That Changes Everything
A book that Mark Dever calls “the best book I’ve read on the nature of church ministry.” Helps the reader think through, both biblically and practically, the dangers of being busy as a full-time pastor and how it can rob you of focus on what ought to be the priorities in your time. Digging more deeply into the New Testament’s view of Christian ministry, the authors argue that a major mind-shift is necessary for many churches and pastors if we are to fulfill the Great Commission and see disciples grow in grace.
There is vine work: the prayerful preaching and teaching of the word of God to see people converted and grow to maturity as disciples of Christ. Vine work is the Great Commission.
