In Gospel-Driven Ministry, Jared Wilson looks at the qualifications for the pastorate, addressing the notion of a call to ministry and how to identify the marks of maturity and affirm a call. In addition, he unpacks the eight core practices of pastoral ministry and offers guidance to prepare pastors for long-term, healthy ministry.

From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called and equipped individuals who would serve his community of followers. These "shepherds" are called to preach, pray, and care for the needs of God's people. But what does it mean to be a pastor? And what is the nature of this ministry, according to the Bible?

In Gospel-Driven Ministry, Jared Wilson begins by looking at the qualifications for the pastorate, addressing the notion of a call to ministry and how an individual--and a church community--can best identify the marks of maturity and affirm a call. In each chapter, Wilson looks at one of the core practices of pastoral ministry, including:

Preaching Sermons
Developing a Vibrant Prayer Life
Caring and Counseling
Pastoring Married and Single
Gospel-Centered Leadership
Fighting Sin and Spiritual Warfare
Resolving Conflict
Passing on the Ministry to Others

In addition, Wilson provides practical resources including theological insights on baptism and the Lord's Supper, guidance for wedding and funeral sermons, outlines for leading elder and deacon meetings, tips for interviewing new pastors, questions to ask at ordination, and advice on knowing when and how to leave a pastor role. This is a comprehensive, practical guide to pastoral ministry that prepares new pastors and equips those currently serving for long-term, healthy ministry.

A companion streaming video study is also available.

Jared C. Wilson is assistant professor of pastoral ministry and author in residence at Midwestern Seminary, pastor for preaching and director of the pastoral training center at Liberty Baptist Church, and author of numerous books, including The Gospel-Driven Church, Gospel-Driven Ministry, and The Prodigal Church. He hosts the For the Church podcast and cohosts The Art of Pastoring podcast.
