Most churches I have worked at have hired great personalities but not great team developers.soQ1: How to find and develop new leaders from inside the churchQ2: How to hire staff that fit DNA, team, and mission that are exponential leaders and not just exceptional individuals

If my pastoral ministry degree lacked anything, it was in the area of counseling. I could definitely use some help. I have an appt. with a young man tomorrow, recently out of jail for his 5th time, whose mother asked if I would talk to. Not sure where to start.

This is a fascinating list.

I resonate with your focus on a comprehensive approach to and understanding of pastoral ministry, shepherding, pastoral care and counseling, one another ministry, soul care, and biblical counseling.

Thank you for expanding our thinking.

A post on each category (a book on each category!) would be a powerful contribution.

Bob
