Overview
Steering Through Chaos: Mapping a Clear Direction for Your Church in the Midst of Transition
and
Change
by Scott Wilson
In Steering through Chaos, Pastor Scott Wilson helps church leaders plan for healthy changes by
making strategic choices that please God and grow your ministry. Since challenges tend to
multiply
during times of transition, Wilson shares wise insight on building new facilities, changing
staff
structure, adding services, becoming a multisite ministry, and more. During the struggles of
transition, doubts and fears inevitably arise. At those moments, leaders need assurance that
they
have a real and authentic vision from God. Wilson encourages you to follow the call and to lead
with
confidence, courage, and an unwavering commitment to push through the challenges. Wilson offers
discussion questions for every chapter, making this an ideal resource for you, your staff, and
your
leadership team to read together.
Reviews
Scott Wilson's book,
Steering through Chaos, will give you important principles to
help you
endure the painful decisions during times of change. Scott's insights will help your church
grow
stronger and reach more people for Christ. I wish I'd had this book years ago.

Steering through Chaos is absolutely inspirational, but it's also earthy. I love the way Scott
shares simple yet profound truths that have the potential to transform your leadership.

Mark Batterson, Lead Pastor of National Community Church
Steering through Chaos shows us how God's greatest promises happen only when we submit to his
deepest intrusions into our lives. Scott Wilson understands that genuine change is disruptive
and,
ultimately, a very personal experience. His transparent communication style leaves little doubt
as
to why he has become such a powerful young leader.
