The Leadership Formula - B&H Publishing

about

We have a leadership problem, and we all know it.

When we look at our churches, we see two glaring problems: a lack of qualified leaders, and a general mistrust of leadership as a response to sinful leadership. But churches need leaders. What do we do?

The answer is in The Leadership Formula.

In the New Testament, qualified leaders are identified by character, conviction, care, and competency. When these four qualities are observed over time, the result is credibility. Pastor and author Juan Sanchez helps readers know what to look for in leaders, how to identify them, and how to commission them in the church, for the sake of the world.

“Juan Sanchez is one of the most effective Christian leaders and pastors of our day. In this book, he offers a biblical vision of leadership that includes conviction, courage, and Christlike character. Healthy churches require healthy, growing, faithful leaders. I am thankful that Juan Sanchez has written this important book for this generation of churches and leaders.”
R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“While evangelicals are deluged with new leadership books each year, there is a dearth of titles grounded in the gospel and aimed at church-based leadership development. This is why I’m thankful for Juan Sanchez’s The Leadership Formula. It begins in the right place—with character and credibility—and takes readers to all the right places for responsible replication. Full of biblical wisdom and practical insight, this guide will serve you well.”
Jared C. Wilson, assistant professor of Pastoral Ministry at Spurgeon College and director of the Pastoral Training Center at Liberty Baptist Church
“Today’s busy pastor can easily get caught up in the daily concerns of ministry and lose sight of training up leaders for the future. In this book, Juan Sanchez has given us a biblically and theologically grounded, highly practical plan to do just that. Pastors and potential leaders in the church should all read this book.”
Randy Stinson, provost and vice president for Academic Administration, professor of Theology and Ministry, the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
“It would be a challenge to speak hyperbolically about the critical need for godly, qualified, called, and equipped leaders within local churches. This is surely the leading edge of our mandate to fulfill the great commission of making disciples. The Leadership Formula helps us think biblically through the process and product of raising the next generation of men who will lead by laying down their lives for the bride of Christ. May Christ help us as local church leaders in this great and dependent work.”
Matt Boswell, hymn writer, pastor, The Trails Church, Prosper, Texas, assistant professor of Christian Worship and Music, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
