Shepherding Horses: Understanding God's Plan for Transforming Leaders
Description:
Kent Humphreys' most recent and most well-received book yet! This 50-page guide to Understanding God s Plan for Transforming Leaders is a must-read for any pastor and the strong and driven business leaders (horses) that he shepherds. 'Ride' along with Kent as he lays out a plan of action for bridging the gap between these very two different but equally important kinds of people in this 'animal kingdom' of God.
Using the mental picture of a shepherd caring for his sheep, Kent Humphreys likens the shepherd to a pastor and the congregation to sheep, into which a few horses (strong business leaders) have been let loose. It is hard to understand these horses, who are just as capable of causing chaos with their strength and of standing quietly off in a corner of the pasture by themselves. How is a pastor to understand and equip these potentially powerful creatures to be part of the 'flock' and then to go out into their workplace to minister and influence it for God? The answer to that question is the focus of this book.
Taking the example of how Jesus handled His 'horses,' a simple plan is offered that can build bridges between pastors and workplace leaders, impacting both the church and the community.
