A church looking for a pastor faces a more difficult task that Moses and the Israelites faced says Dr. Chris Brauns, author of a new book called When the Word Leads Your Pastoral Search: Biblical Principles and Practices to Guide Your Search.
“It was the distinct advantage of the Israelites when they were fleeing from the Egyptians that they knew that they were in trouble and couldn't possibly get out of the mess they were in on their own,” Brauns explains. “Churches, on the other hand, think they can do this impossible thing in their own strength.” A requisite tool for congregations facing the transition of pastoral leaders, When the Word Leads Your Pastoral Search is also an invaluable resource for those seeking to fill other church leadership positions, including youth pastors.
