Reading Lead by Paul Tripp has been a blessing because I took a different approach to reading this book. I slowly went through the book. This helped me think about what each chapter was about and what I needed to learn and/or remember about each topic.
Part of this reflection time included writing a general, leadership prayer for each chapter. I put the links for each prayer below.
Another part of this reflection time was a more personal prayer.
The following two quotes helped me think about the theme of this book.
"Because we are not sovereign over the situation in which we minister, because we have no power to change people's heart, because we are often in the way of instead of being part of what God is doing, because we cannot predict the future, we have no ability on our own to achieve ministry growth or success."
"Ministry success is a testament to who God is and what he is willing to do through us by grace."
Ministry leaders need to have a ministry team helping one another through, not just this specifically rough time, but even so times of blessing AND challenge. I would recommend church and ministry leaders read this book. It will be a blessing and a challenge.
