Most Bible College graduates will begin their ministries with plenty of important head knowledge to share - but with a deficit of some of the most practical aspects of doing ministry, such as:
- Which ministry role most suits them
- How to start out strongly at a new church
- Persevering during difficult seasons of ministry
- Leading meetings and delegating tasks
- Safeguarding their family
- Fighting discouragement, pastor envy and a lack of contentment
- Navigating special ministry needs, such as hospitals, weddings and funerals
Through his hard-won wisdom, Jason Helopoulos comes alongside new pastors as a trusted friend and mentor, ready to guide them through their first years of ministry with intelligence and compassion.
"I wish I could have read this book when I was just starting out in ministry. This personal, practical volume will serve as a valuable guide for many young pastors, and quite a few older ones too."
- Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor of University Reformed Church
