"What most often undermines church planters' effectiveness isn't a lack of ministry skill, it's that their spiritual and emotional health are outstripped by the demands of the work."

According to veteran church planter Tim Morey, you need more than just vocational capacities to build and sustain a healthy ministry—you need spiritual competencies. In his new book Planting a Church Without Losing Your Soul, Morey provides a practical guide to spiritual formation geared to the unique needs of church planters.

Featuring real-life stories from leaders, suggested spiritual practices, and discussion questions in each chapter, this book will equip individuals and teams (and those who coach them) to commit to an intentional plan for spiritual formation—for the good of their churches, their relationships, and their own lives as disciples of Jesus.
Tim Morey is founding and lead pastor at Life Covenant Church in Torrance, California. He serves as a church planting coach for the Evangelical Covenant Church and as an adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Praise for Planting a Church Without Losing Your Soul

 

"Tim Morey did a courageous thing. He told the truth."

—Ed Stetzer, professor and dean at Wheaton College

 

"There are very few books on the subject of church planting that I would say are a must-read for church planters—but this is one of them. . . . As I read Tim's thoughtful guidance, I found myself continually saying, 'Yes, yes!' as I saw my own story recounted in his words. Buy this book. Read this book. And give this book to every church planter that you know."

—Jeff Christopherson, cofounder and missiologist at the Send Institute

 

"I can say one thing unequivocally about this book: Tim, with hard-won wisdom, identifies ten areas that are paramount for leaders to contemplate and engage, if we want to have a life worth imitating and not fall captive to the powers. This book is for planters who are in it for the long haul."

—JR Woodward, national director of the V3 Movement
