Wisdom in Leadership Development: Creating a Pipeline to Grow Leaders and Make More Disciples

“For churches to grow both in fruitfulness and faithfulness, they need a clear way to develop leaders. I’ve seen many leaders struggle with the shift from being a great individual contributor to equipping other leaders, but without this shift we lack the capacity to do all we could to grow our churches. Clarity on how to encourage this shift is growing more urgent by the day. We must develop leaders who can be confident in and find joy in leading leaders. I’ve heard Craig talk about developing leaders for many years and the simplicity, clarity and power of the framework has been extremely fruitful and has helped us multiply leaders across our church”

“We have found the concept of a leadership pipeline at Hunter Bible Church really beneficial in being intentional in how we raise up and equip godly leaders. Craig in all his books has a knack for taking complex ideas and making them easy to understand. He writes in an engaging way that helps us to improve our ministry practice—all within a solid theological framework for leading under God’s sovereignty and within his church. What I love about this new book is that Craig unpacks a range of separate ingredients like culture, training, recruitment, architecture and so on, that are all needed and mix together to effectively develop leaders. This will be a great book to use within a leadership team because throughout it Craig has created space for teams to come together and work through ongoing implementation. We’ll definitely be using this book to sharpen and refine our teams and to raise up more godly and equipped leaders as God continues to grow his kingdom.”
