The God Who Goes Before You: Pastoral Leadership as Christ-Centered Followership

About this book

In The God Who Goes before You Michael S. Wilder and Timothy Paul Jones establish a foundation for Christian leadership that draws not from human assumptions but from the wisdom of God. By considering the whole canon of scripture as their supreme and sufficient authority Wilder and Jones present both pastors and laity with a Christ-centered kingdom-focused vision of godly leadership. When it comes to leadership there is much to be learned from empirical research and from marketplace leaders. However without Scripture as our authority flawed views of Gods purposes and human nature will skew our understanding of the character and practices of God-called leaders. In this book Wilder and Jones redefine leadership as Christ-centered followership and present a radically countercultural perspective on leadership practices in the church today.
