Most churches and their pastors try to do everything at once and feel guilty if any one aspect (worship, ministries, outreach, etc.) is neglected. He replaces the exhausting concept of balance with the idea of rhythm: churches, like people, need to give attention to different programs and ministries at different times, basically by attending to their seasons and cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers an innovative new model for church leaders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMiller has been influential in the formation and promotion of “Church-Based Training” as in international movement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a proven method for avoiding burnout for church leaders and members by doing the right things at the right time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author offers much-need help to overwhelmed leaders and shows them how to apply Miller’s seasonal\/cyclical approach to church life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Jossey-Bass Leadership Network Series ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword by Will Mancini xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction Time: The Forgotten Dimension xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One Identifying What Time It Is in Your Church 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Why Do Church in Rhythm? 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Kairos and Chronos Rhythms 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Discerning Your Organizational Stage 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Recognizing Your Ministry Seasons 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two Kairos Rhythm Strategies 57\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Release Expectations 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Seize Opportunities 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Anticipate What’s Next 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three Chronos Rhythm Strategies 107\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Pace Your Church 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Build Mission-Enhancing Rituals 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Oscillate Intensity and Renewal 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion Rhythm Solution Process for Your Church 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion Questions 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRhythm Overview 169\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Author 181\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Religion \u0026amp; beliefs [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Religion \u0026amp; beliefs\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Religion%20\u0026amp;%20beliefs%20%5BHR%5D%22\"\u003eHR\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52509154214168,"sku":"9780470598870","price":18.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470598870_240350.jpg?v=1786494493","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/your-church-in-rhythm-the-forgotten-dimensions-of-seasons-and-cycles-hardback-9780470598870","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
