Publisher's summary

In this seminal work for the post-pandemic church, pastor Craig T. Owens offers a picture of a church gone astray, succumbed by the “business” of ministry and forgetting the joy of doing ministry. Rather than being the shepherds Jesus called us to be, church leaders spend too much time in boardroom meetings, checking off meaningless boxes, and imitating worldly business leaders.

Owens liberates burned-out pastors and church leaders by reminding them to return to the simple shepherding style of leadership portrayed in the Bible, which leads to our churches and ministries being healthy, energized, effective, sheep-producing, and God-glorifying. He charts out a path for leaders to implement simple changes that will lead to them becoming wholly healthy shepherds.

A valuable resource

This book is a great resource for leaders. Owens highlights how the corporate model of “nickels and noses” has lead ministry leaders to seek the wrong goals, and instead proposes a biblically-based alternative. Shepherd Leadership will absolutely change your outlook, and redefine what it means to be a leader following Jesus’ example.

Back to the basics!

Shepherd Leadership is a book for both business and ministry (I am an ordained minister and a small business owner). Pastor Owens takes you on a journey of self-discovery for new leaders or a health check-up for seasoned vets. Shepherd Leadership challenged my leadership by taking me back to the basics and forcing me to assess what's really important in life. Pastor Owens, in his book Shepherd Leadership, takes us back to our leadership roots and reminds us we don't have to invent new ways of thinking and styles of leadership, rather we are called to emulate the greatest leader of all time - Jesus Christ. This is a short read that gets to the point about why we should emulate Christ, and how we can accomplish that monumental task. Pastor Owens inspired me to re-focus and challenge myself in 2023 and measure what truly matters in both ministry and business. I recommend this impactful piece of business literature to everyone currently involved in leadership and/or those who aspire to great achieve great things in leadership. You won't be disappointed - I wasn't!.
