b'Tim Gombis joins the pod to talk about his newest book, \'Power in Weakness: Paul\\u2019s Transformed Vision for Ministry.\' Tim and Teer explore a model for church leadership as old as Paul\'s letter to the Romans.

From the publisher:
After Paul\\u2019s encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus, he turned from coercion and violence to a ministry centered on the hope of Christ\\u2019s resurrection. In earthly terms, Paul had traded power for weakness. But\\u2014as he explained in his subsequent letters\\u2014this \\u201cweakness\\u201d was actually the key to flourishing community that is able to experience God\\u2019s transformation, restoration, and healing. What would it mean for pastors today to take seriously Paul\\u2019s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to \\u201cimitate me as I imitate Christ\\u201d and lead their congregations in this way?

Instead of drawing leadership principles and practices from the worlds of business, education, and politics\\u2014which tend to orient churches around institutional power and image maintenance\\u2014Timothy Gombis follows Paul in resisting the influence of the \\u201cpresent evil age\\u201d by making cruciformity the operating principle of the church. Gombis guides the reader through practices and patterns that can lead a congregation past a focus on individual salvation, toward becoming instead a site of resurrection power on earth.
