Lead: 12 Gospel Principles for Leadership in the Church

Lead presents twelve gospel principles designed to protect both Christian leaders and the communities they serve. Paul David Tripp argues that ministry problems often grow from unhealthy cultures, isolated leaders, misplaced identity, weak accountability, and a focus on achievement that neglects the leader's own spiritual condition.

Each principle calls leaders back to grace, humility, community, honest self-examination, and sustainable service. Tripp addresses the pressures that can make gifted leaders defensive, overextended, or disconnected from ordinary discipleship. The book provides substantial material for pastors, elders, ministry teams, and men preparing to lead in the church.
