Jonathan Leeman: Shepherding Seminar

We are excited to partner with the Montana Wilderness School of the Bible to bring you a special offering of our Shepherding Seminars. Please join us Saturday, June 27th, for Shepherding with Authority: A Seminar with Jonathan Leeman.

One side is anarchy. The other side is abuse. Somewhere in between is the ministry of faithful pastors and shepherds. How can we lead our churches away from the ditches and into safe pasture? 

To Shepherd is to lead. But what does biblical leadership look like? Before we begin to discuss the role of authority in the local church, let alone the local church pastor, we need to begin by answering a simple question: What is authority? Or better yet, "Who is the authority?" 

Join us as Jonathan Leeman helps reframe our view of God so that we can redeem, reframe, and rejoin the work of God in the life of the church. A biblically restored view of authority in our pastoral ministry also furnishes our ability to disciple and equip our own members in their various spheres of authority whether it's in the play room or the board room. As the church becomes more comfortable with a Godward sense of authority, the love and care of Jesus is visibly displayed to a confused and wounded world.  

Cost:
Thanks to the partnerships of Sovereign Hope Church, Grace Church Kalispell, and the Montana Wilderness School of the Bible, we are excited to offer Shepherding Seminars free of cost to pastor/elders and other men who are either in positions of leadership in a local church or aspiring to leadership in the local church.

Free Resources:
Thanks to our ongoing partnership with Crossway and 9Marks, registrants will receive a free copy of Leeman's book: Authority: How Godly Rule Protects the Vulnerable, Strengthens Communities, and Promotes Human Flourishing.
