There are the inevitable setbacks and challenges that come with launching anything new. And the process will test and try a leader's faith, as they face discouragement, loneliness, and failure. In this book, pastor and seasoned church leader Wayne Cordeiro speaks the truth in love, offering wisdom and insight to prepare leaders as they face the difficulties and hardships of church planting, while providing encouragement and inspiration for the journey. "Sifted" is based on Jesus' encouragement to Peter in Luke 22 to keep his faith and minister to others from his weakness. An experienced practitioner, Wayne shares the things he wishes he'd known when he was starting a new church. With additional stories from other prominent, seasoned leaders, each chapter includes a thought provoking, challenge question to develop a heart that is surrendered to God, focused on "being and becoming" versus "doing and accomplishing." Wayne writes about a healthy integration and balance of personal care and leadership amidst the difficulties of the church planting journey. Loneliness and discouragement are normal in church planting, but God cares more about our journey of faith and who we are becoming than our worldly accomplishments and the churches we build. Church planting is an ongoing process of surrender, personal growth and character development. The book will challenge leaders to persevere and rededicate themselves to their calling, their marriage, and their family. Instead of a "how to" book on models and methods, this is a combination of a self-assessment book that challenges leaders' scorecards of success, encourages leaders to realize that they are not alone in what they are experiencing, and provides wisdom for the long haul to position younger leaders for a life of ministry and finish strong. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Suffering|xReligious aspects|xChristianity. 650 0 Spiritual formation. 700 1 Chan, Francis,|d1967-|eauthor. 700 1 Osborne, Larry W.,|d1952-|eauthor. 700 1 England, Maurice,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Cordeiro, Wayne.|tExponential.|sSpoken word ; 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11617862?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780310494492_180.jpeg
