Bursting Blockades In the Past

Leroy Vincent

Sinopsis

When the Lord summoned Jeremiah, He revealed to him that He had placed him in charge of kingdoms and nations, and that his ministry would be divided into stages. He'd go after what he wanted, take it down, smash it, and throw it down. For far too long, many Christians have been pulling down and rooting out. Now, just as the Lord commanded Jeremiah to build and plant, it's time for us to do the same.
 
It can be more difficult to build for the future and sow for growth than it is to pull down and root out.
 
Jeremiah's mind and emotions could not comprehend the extent of God's grace as God extended the summons. He even tried to explain to God why he wouldn't be able to perform what he was being asked to do. We have a habit of doing the same thing over and over again.
 
When God urges us to move forward into a new realm that we are unfamiliar with, we try to persuade Him that He has no idea what He is doing. We explain to Him why we shouldn't move when He tells us it's time to leave our comfort zone.
 
God is merciful in that He does not always listen to us when we disagree with His plans. "Don't tell Me you're too young, not mature enough to do what I'm asking you to do," He informed Jeremiah in so many words (see 1:7). By faith, we accept God's invitation.

Alicia J. Akins, Jen Oshman

Embracing the Spiritual Lessons of Unbelonging 
 
 
 
Too often, cultural belonging becomes a battle, and its winners gain the world: access, comfort, safety, community. Yet for those on the margins—set apart from their culture by differences such as ethnicity, class, ability, and faith—God offers something even greater. 
 
 
 
The Gift of the Outsider celebrates the blessings found in unbelonging—and calls Christians of all backgrounds to love and listen to their community's outcasts. As a Christian, a Black American, a woman, and an expatriate, author Alicia J. Akins offers heartfelt reflections on her own experiences as an outsider. She illuminates how we can 
 
 
 
● cherish the unique gifts that God bestows on those who endure loneliness and adversity 
 
 
 
● encourage and humbly receive the invaluable insights outsiders of all kinds have to offer 
 
 
 
● delight in how the differences within God’s people reflect his majesty—and how Christ's reign unifies all believers 
 
 
 
Compassionate and biblically grounded, The Gift of the Outsider enriches today's broader conversations surrounding diversity and inclusion, and is sure to encourage and challenge outsiders and insiders alike.

Organizational Behavior in...

Franklin A. Markow

Organizational behavior is an important and growing field in leadership and management studies, yet it has been largely overlooked by leaders of churches and other Christian ministries. Franklin Markow, who has been teaching leadership and organizational studies for 25 years, believes a comprehensive understanding of organizational behavior is essential for effective leadership. This introduction to the topic accounts for the unique dynamics of Christian organizations, gives theological foundations, and provides key insights and guidance to those studying or practicing leadership in churches and ministries.

Markow proposes and explains organizational behavior using a comprehensive "Five-Level Model," which encompasses the 1) individual, 2) interpersonal, 3) group, 4) organizational, and 5) interorganizational perspectives of organizations. Readers will gain a better understanding of their organization and how people relate to it and to one another. The goal is to help people and organizations thrive and fulfill their God-given missions. Besides utilizing seminal and current sources from the field of organizational studies, Markow draws on interviews with senior-level leaders in churches and nonprofits for fresh and ministry-focused insights. Each chapter includes review questions, case studies, further reading suggestions, and current issue sidebars, making it a perfect textbook for college or seminary leadership classes.
