Goheen, and Timothy Sisk—who write and teach on leadership, discipleship, pastoral care, chaplaincy, missiology, and church planting.

Top Highlights
“Transformational leadership really is focused more on a broad vision than it is just on tasks being accomplished.” (source)
“Well, we have seen, in our day, a new shift taking place. From this time of the Constantinian church in the fourth century on, to our time today the church is no longer being situated in places of power and position. We are in a sense returning to the early church context. It is, what does it mean to … what does it look like to lead from the margins of society? You might call this a revival of the apostolic church. How do we look into the future by looking to the past? So drawing upon the stories of Scripture—looking for instance to the church in the book of Acts—gives us a vision for what it means to live life and to lead well in this new day in this new age.” (source)
“Others are talking about concepts, such as management and leadership 2.0, when we’re shifting away from just a focus on the organization and its goals, to a focus on the needs of the people of these communities. And the reality is, leaders in our day, particularly ministry leaders, need to be able to face into these realities by staying both rooted and being relevant—that is, connecting to both ancient wisdom but doing so in a way that is facing into the realities of our contemporary context.” (source)
“No church can be missional without leaders who are pacesetters and pioneers” (source)
“complexity, diversification, globalization, the reality of network-styled communities” (source)
