The Art of Leadership Academy’s Pastoral Succession Toolkit

Succession isn’t urgent until it is.

If you or your church has gone through a transition, I’m sure you can relate. And if not, it’s only a matter of time until that will resonate.

But the truth is—it’s not too late. Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming transition or are currently in the process, today is the day you can prepare to make the it a success. Not just for the incoming pastor, but for the outgoing pastor, and for the church as well.

I recently teamed up with Sean Morgan to create The Pastoral Succession Toolkit. The toolkit includes some short but value packed training and a comprehensive checklist that outlines key milestones, goals, and decisions both pre and post transition.

And, as a bonus, there’s some practical super practical salary negotiation tips those who haven’t make the transition yet.

If this sounds like a helpful resource to you, visit successiontoolkit.com to get everything I just mentioned for FREE.

He Gets Us

The He Gets Us Campaign is sparking a nationwide conversation, and millions are discovering, rediscovering, and taking a fresh look at Jesus’ message of radical love.

These resources are designed to give churches new ways to understand the culture they encounter every day, and engage with their people and communities in conversations about Jesus.

So, if you’re looking for new ways to:

  1. Strengthen your message
