Church Metrics that Really Matter, with Craig T. Owens (Ep 043)

In this episode I interview Craig T. Owens, a pastor, author, co-host of the podcast “The Craig and Greg Show”, and a blogger at CraigTOwens.com.

Craig and I talk about the subjects addressed in his recent book, Shepherd Leadership: The Metrics that Really Matter.

Some of the important subjects include:

• Using biblical metrics for pastoral ministry
• The tendency to lead based in confidence or humility
• The essential nature of sabbath in a life of ministry
• The relationship of wisdom to shepherding
• The importance of overcoming guilt as a motivator for decisions in ministry

There’s also an important undercurrent throughout the episode about putting our servanthood into action first, knowing that only then will a servant’s heart follow.
