If you work in Christian ministry, likely at some point in your career God will call you from one church to another. Do you know how to make this transition effectively? Moving is scary and full of questions. Where do I start the job search process? To whom do I talk, and what do I send them? How do I know my family and I will fit in at a new church? And how do I tell people I'm leaving? These are just the beginning. And when the hiring process does go well, a lot of pain can be avoided-for the pastor and the church. What we pastors need is solid coaching that is theologically informed and practically oriented. We need a bunch of anecdotes from real hiring processes. And we need detailed strategies for every step of the way. That's what this book is about.
It's the tools, tips, and tactics you need so that you can transition with excellence, protect your family, respect the church, and honor God.
