Pastors are not immune to sin, yet they are often tempted or even pressured to hide their transgressions, leading to discouragement, shame, and isolation. This unexpectedly honest book from a fellow pastor shows how to identify the root causes of pastoral sin, embrace the practice of confession, and find healing in forgiveness.
Discover how personal vulnerability can revitalize your soul, ministry, and church
· A timely and unexpectedly honest exploration of pastoral sin
· Learn to identify the root causes of pastoral sin, embrace the practice of confession, and find healing in forgiveness
· Helps pastors maintain an open and honest relationships with themselves, God, and their congregations to facilitate repentance and restoration
Many pastors are tempted to conceal their sin rather than risk vulnerability or disqualification from ministry. But this is spiritually dangerous, for both the pastor and the church. Unconfessed sin leads to guilt, shame, exhaustion, and loneliness. Instead, God invites pastors to confess, repent, and be healed, just like every other Christian.
With great vulnerability and refreshing honesty, Jamin Goggin writes of those temptations and sins that uniquely plague the pastoral vocation. He shows pastors how to integrate regular confession to God and others, leading to a more hopeful, fruitful, and virtuous life and ministry.
"Especially timely and profoundly needed."--Rick Warren, Great Commission ally and author of The Purpose Driven Life and The Purpose Driven Church
"I can't remember the last time I read a book so convicting."--Collin Hansen, vice president for content and editor in chief of The Gospel Coalition
"This is more than just an excellent book; it's an important book."--Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author
"These pages could bring genuine and deeply needed healing and wholeness to the body of Christ."--Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author
"This isn't vague 'vulnerability' but a specific message to pastors that we all need to hear. Goggin's handling of this sensitive topic is so wise and experientially deep that I hope every pastor reads it. Even preachers can be saved."--Michael Horton, J. G. Machen Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary, California
"Our fractured churches need this book. More than that, pastors need this book. Read it slowly, prayerfully. Read it with other pastors. Confession is God's way to healing, and we need that today."--Ed Stetzer, dean, Talbot School of Theology
