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 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. –Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv

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. –George Wood, Superintendent of the Assemblies of God USA
