Planting a Church Without Losing Your Soul: Nine Questions for the Spiritually Formed Pastor

What does it take to be a church planter or other ministry entrepreneur?

Most leaders start out with passion, a sense of calling, and a focus on building ministry skills. Such things might get some results, but they are not enough to sustain a healthy ministry—or a healthy life. Beyond the vocational capacities every church planter needs, there's a range of capabilities more difficult to measure but even more essential: what veteran church planter Tim Morey calls spiritual competencies. Morey provides here a practical guide to spiritual formation geared to the unique needs of church planters. He helps listeners answer the questions, What are the spiritual capabilities that I as a church planter need to develop? How might I lean into the work Jesus is doing in these vital areas? Spiritual competencies have to do not just with behaviors but also with the motivations, agendas, and scripts that drive behaviors. Morey explores how church planters can become people who invest in their own physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health; accept limits and share responsibilities; can be trusted with power; are able to stay resilient and grow through difficulties; can minister without being noticed; and find a sustainable pace that helps them avoid burnout.
