Changing the Scorecard for the Church
By Reggie McNeal (Jossey-Bass & Leadership Network)
A 2010 Outreach Resource of the Year

“The publication of The Present Future (Jossey-Bass, 2002) opened a new dialogue between me and many church leaders in the country. Everywhere I spoke, leaders said, ‘This is what I’ve been thinking, but I didn’t know how to say it.’ This was typically followed with a question: ‘What do I do now?’ After hearing that question for years, sensing the excited frustration of church leaders, I decided to condense my best suggestions into a trio of shifts that church leaders could pursue. My hope was to give them a language they could use to frame their leadership initiatives to accelerate their missional engagement.” —Reggie McNeal

Pastors Are Shepherds, Not Superheroes

Maybe it’s time we change the narrative. Expect your pastor to be a shepherd, not a superhero. Don’t demand their presence at every event or their attention at every moment.
