520	0		_a"In Navigating Church Politics, veteran pastor and church leadership expert, Dr. Randy Wollf, explores one church's productive, yet painful, direction-setting process. Through an in-depth look at this church's journey and a study of relevant research, he will help you discover:How to recognize and address inappropriate uses of power without sinking the church. How to help people focus on their God-given calling so that they don't have the desire to torpedo others. How to make the most of good uses of power to avoid danger and accomplish the church's mission. How to empower people to contribute their ideas to the decision-making process, so that good decisions are made that people own and want to implement together. How to manage conflict so that it strengthens the church. Many church leaders have faced the unwelcome intrusion of church politics into their ministries. It can be very distracting and frustrating. Yet, Randy shows that church politics is a normal and necessary part of church life. Wherever you have a group of people, you will have good and bad exertions of power. Unfortunately, many Christian leaders check out of leadership, not realizing that the church politics that hurt them could have become one of their greatest allies for enacting positive change."
