Theological Leadership Guide for Authentic Ministry
Embody: Five Keys to Leading with Integrity by Karoline M. Lewis addresses the disconnect between theological beliefs and leadership practices in church ministry. This practical guide helps pastors and church leaders align their actions with scripture, moving beyond business-model approaches to authentic, incarnational leadership.
Bridge the Gap Between Theology and Practice
Many church leaders feel trapped in institutional systems where decisions seem disconnected from scripture and theology. This book speaks directly to those frustrated by hypocrisy and seeking to integrate their Christian beliefs into every leadership decision. Lewis provides a framework for leadership rooted in theological principles and the perspective of incarnation, showing how to embody faith in both congregational settings and the public square.
Practical Integration Steps for Church Leaders
The book incorporates examples from Jesus' leadership and the Paraclete in the Gospel of John, demonstrating leadership through walking beside others. Lewis offers actionable guidance for making integration steps necessary to become an embodied leader, with exploration of core components that make theological leadership effective and authentic.
Karoline M. Lewis holds the Marbury Anderson Chair in Biblical Preaching at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is a regularly featured presenter and preacher at the Festival of Homiletics and a frequent contributor for numerous Christian journals and online resources, including the popular website WorkingPreacher.org where she co-hosts the weekly podcast "Sermon Brainwave" and authors the weekly column "Dear Working Preacher." Karoline holds a Ph.D. from Emory University and lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
