The Right Use of Power in the Church: a 10-Part Series
Unfortunately, this subject continues to be as relevant today as it was when I wrote these posts in late 2021. My fervent prayer is that you and your church/pastors/leadership team use these both as jumping off places for honest, open conversation as well as for your own individual conversations with the Lord—allowing Him, through His powerful Holy Spirit, to transform you more and more into the person of influence/servant leader He desires you to be. Here are the ten blog entries with direct links to each:
