Rainer on Leadership

Leading Your Church without Losing Your Children


Listen Later

You can be a good parent and a good pastor. Leading a church does not mean losing your children. Thom and Sam talk about raising preacher’s kids and some potential pitfalls to avoid when parenting as a church leader.

    • Your home is your first priority in ministry, but do not detach your home from the church.
        • Even in unhealthy churches, there can be healthy relationships with your children.
            • Be transparent about the church with your children but avoid badmouthing members.
                • Don’t pour out your church stress on your family.
                    • Lead both your home and your church with an optimistic outlook.
                        • Family prayer and devotions are just as important as good ministry strategy and sermons.

                                      What If Deconstructing Your Faith Isn’t a Phase but a Holy Process?


                                      Here is your invitation to rethink everything you thought you knew.

                                      In this process, you’ll . . .

                                        • learn why it’s important to deconstruct (and how we are wired to do it);
                                        • define deconstruction and deconversion—what they really mean;
                                        • consider WWJD (What Would Jesus Deconstruct?); and
                                        • apply the FUSE method to deconstruct for yourself.
                                        • Deconstruct Faith, Discover Jesus will help you to enter the mindset of a deconstructionist. A worldview with a high capacity for paradoxes. A mental space that outweighs your self-interest in being right. A tendency to see Christian beliefs as inseparable from Christian ethics.


                                          In doing so, you will find the original deconstructionist, Jesus, right beside you.
