Churches don't managers or martyrs, argues Chloe Lynch. We need leaders that lead like a true friend.
What is happening in church leadership? Can anything be done?

In The Glorious Risk, Chloe Lynch challenges the broken stories shaping Western church leadership, where leaders become either pseudo-CEOs or burned out martyrs to the cause. Instead, Chloe offers a fresh, biblically faithful vision: leadership as friendship.

Rooted in God's invitation to relationship through Christ, this book reimagines leadership as a journey of friendship. With deep theological insight and lived experience, Lynch deconstructs harmful leadership models, reveals the life-giving potential of true friendship and shows how embracing this approach can transform churches from the inside out.

Accessible, engaging and thought-provoking, this work is a must-read for church leaders, ministry students and those yearning for a leadership style that embodies the beating heart of the gospel. Learn to lead in love and be inspired to redefine leadership in your own community.

Dr Chloe Lynch is a Lecturer at London School of Theology, UK. Having spent a decade as a church leader, she now acts as a Spiritual Director for ministers, alongside her her academic career. Chloe has spoken on friendship-leadership for LICC and New Wine events in the UK and has been part of the Evangelical Alliance’s Public Leader programme and the C.S. Lewis Institute Fellows Program.
