Summary

A subtle heresy has crept into the evangelical church. Like Esau, we have sold our biblical birthright as shepherds called by God for the pottage of skills and gimmicks designed by humans. We have misunderstood the role of pastor and defined it incorrectly. The result? Our churches are struggling, Christians are wandering away from the faith, and pastors are burning out at alarming rates.

Author Biography

E. Glenn Wagner is pastor of Calvary Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, having served in pastoral ministry in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Colorado, and with Promise Keepers as vice president. He and his wife, Susan, have two children.
