About this listen
Could eating more pie lead to healthier and stronger churches?
Doug Pell says "yes." A longtime Church of Christ elder and retired senior executive from the U.S. defense industry, Pell recently authored Set in Order the Things That Are Lacking: Lessons in Biblical Leadership (Sain Publications).
In this episode, Pell shares the experience he gained from decades in church and corporate leadership and the knowledge he gained from his intense study of biblical eldership for local congregations.
Pell touches on the following themes:
- Why the corporate management model is not the leadership model that the Lord chooses for his church
- Why biblical leadership is harder than anyone imagines, but perhaps not as hard to attain as congregations might think
- How congregational leadership must happen in living rooms, not elders' meetings
- Why deacons and wives may be the most important people to a congregation's eldership
- And what does pie have to do with congregational health?
