{"product_id":"9781540971968_power-for-good","title":"Power for Good","description":"One reason young people are leaving our churches is because they feel the disconnect between the gospel we preach and the ways we lead. We may call this a leadership crisis, but deeper down, it's a crisis of power. Deeper still, it's a gospel crisis--we haven't allowed the gospel to nurture the soil, air, and water from which leadership grows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere Gregg Okesson, an expert on leadership, takes an honest look at systems or ecologies of power and considers what gospel-shaped leadership looks like within those systems. This book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e· describes power as an ecosystem that we swim and move in every day of our lives;\u003cbr\u003e· shows how dying and rising with Christ reorients the powers of leadership toward a distinct Christian witness;\u003cbr\u003e· speaks to seminary students, church leaders, and organizational leaders navigating complex organizational, relational, and cultural dynamics; and\u003cbr\u003e· includes short case studies connecting the material to leadership situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePower for Good\u003c\/i\u003e offers theories of leadership and power, a vision of gospel-oriented leadership, and proposals for how to redeem power, leadership, and institutions. It provides a theological and missiological framework for understanding leadership as gospel witness, equipping communities to faithfully steward the powers around them for human flourishing and the glory of God.","brand":"Gregg Okesson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53459581731128,"sku":"9781540971968","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/9963\/1672\/files\/9781540971968.jpg?v=1792555208","url":"https:\/\/bakeracademic.com\/products\/9781540971968_power-for-good","provider":"Baker Academic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
