STAYING POWER
Staying Power: Leadership, Formation, and the Cost of Absence, Dr. Edwin R. Rideout explores one of the challenges that can quietly affect pastors, ministry leaders, mentors, and emerging Christian leaders: the absence of consistent spiritual formation, meaningful mentorship, and people who are willing to stay close.
Drawing from more than 30 years of pastoral ministry, personal experience, biblical scholarship, and leadership research, Staying Power looks at the relationship between Paul and Timothy and explores how lasting leadership is formed through faithful relationships, spiritual accountability, character development, resilience, and a deeply rooted walk with Christ.
This is more than a book about becoming a better leader. It is an invitation to consider the leader behind the role—to lead from presence rather than performance, navigate seasons of loneliness and pressure, invest in the next generation, and build a life and ministry that can endure.
