Leadership is no simple task. To lead in a godly way involves a considerable amount of risk. Paul understood this truth when the Holy Spirit inspired him to write his first letter to his disciple, Timothy. By studying Timothy's ministry (as recorded in Acts) and the instruction he received from Paul, we have much to learn about discipleship and ministry leadership. Risking Leadership is designed as a self-guided study and/or a group study, taking the reader step-by-step through the entire letter of 1 Timothy, with special emphasis given to application to today's life and ministry leadership. It begins with a brief biography of Timothy, based upon Acts and other biblical texts that describe him. This study is essential for effectiveness in the way you follow and serve Jesus Christ. "I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church" (1 Corinthians 4:17 NIV).

You are the light of the world. Do you believe it? Can you see evidence of it in your life? Perhaps a better question would be: Can others? We understand that life here is frustrating, broken, and confusing because we live in a system that is opposite to our LORD. > In place of frustration, we can have complete joy. > Instead of our brokenness, we can be set free from sin. > And our confusion can be replaced by eternal truth. This book will explore, explain, and employ the Word of God, specifically 1 John, bringing it to life in you. This is an interactive book, including activities designed to be done individually or in a small group. Each chapter ends with discussion questions. You'll need a Bible in hand while you read this book. Enjoy the humor, straight-talk, and clear illustrations to apply timeless truth to your life.

Do I have to wait for heaven to receive blessings from Jesus? What if my life needs blessings right now? What did Jesus mean when he said he makes all things new? What if I refuse to wait? This book will change your entire perspective on life, salvation, and heaven. We need newness. Find it through this study of God's Word. This is salvation. This is good news. This is what it means to be made all new. Too many religious leaders and church members have offered little more than new information. What people crave has much less to do with information and much more to do with transformation. What difference does it make? People who are frustrated with their life situation - hurt by wounds, and mourning loss - are craving something new. They're craving change, not information. The information about finding mercy in Jesus Christ is good news for me. But it's incomplete. I also want my life to be new. This is why I've decided that I'm Refusing to Wait for Heaven. Includes reflection questions.

Modern worship leaders are restless. They have inherited a model of leadership that equates leading worship with being a rock star. But leading worship is more than a performance, it's about shaping souls and making disciples. Every worship leader is really a pastor. The Worship Pastor is a practical and biblical introduction to this essential pastoral role. Filled with engaging, illustrative stories it is organized to address questions of theory and practice, striving to balance conversational accessibility with informed instruction. Part One presents a series of evocative "vignettes"--intriguing and descriptive titles and metaphors of who a Worship Pastor is and what he or she does. It shows the Worship Pastor as Church-Lover, Disciple Maker, Corporate Mystic, and Doxological Philosopher. Part Two covers specific roles related to ministry within the worship service itself--the Worship Pastor as Theological Dietician, Caregiver, Mortician, Emotional Shepherd, War General, Prophetic Guardian, Missional Historian, and Liturgical Architect. Part Three looks at ministry beyond the worship service--the Worship Pastor as Visionary Teacher, Evangelist, Artist Chaplain, and Team Leader. While some worship leaders are eager to embrace their pastoral role, many are lost and confused or lack the resources of time or money to figure out what this role looks like. Pastor Zac Hicks gives us a clear guide to leading worship, one that takes the pastoral call seriously.
