Blessed With A Burden
This book will provide encouragement, insight, wisdom and instruction to anyone who has been called to lead, serve and/or deal with the inherent challenges of both life and ministry. Dr. Chandler is so transparent in his personal encounters as well as his professional experiences which have honed his interpersonal skills and has authenticated his call to lead as a Senior Pastor.
I discerned very early that Dr. Anthony Chandler possessed an unusual gift for transitioning traditional churches. The unique care of the people, while at the same time providing the necessary push to accept the "new wine skins" ministry needed was more than skill for him. It was clear then and confirmed with this much needed work that Dr. Chandler has been given a gift.
Story after story is told of the struggles that exist between pastors and their congregations. While there are many reasons for this, one of the seldom accepted realities is that transitioning takes skill and grace. It may be that the church invites the presence of the pastor's vision and the novelty of his or her ideas, as long as those ideas don't mess with the sacred pillars or practices and methods that have been held dear by that congregation long before the pastor arrived. Dr. Chandler has proven in two significant churches that the care of the soul and the shifting of an institution don't have to be mutually exclusive.
The principles he offers in this much needed work will provide you a time- proven, context-driven model for painlessly leading your congregation through transition. In both of his pastorates, I was refreshingly surprised observing the continual health of the congregations while at the same time noticing the changes that took place; many of which were the very reasons other pastors found themselves in the middle of church fights. It was then that I started really paying attention to what Dr. Chandler was doing, his methods of communicating and the shaping of His agenda. While working with pastors across the country, many of whom are walking into a context that needs transition in order to survive, I have directed them to observe very carefully the leadership of Dr. Chandler. Read his work, be blessed by his devotion to God, care for the people of God and his boldness to demand that a church stay relevant and faithful. Trust me; you will agree he is the resource we need for taking our churches forward.
