Mind the Gap: Leading Your Church to Agility and Effectiveness in Any Environment
In a rapidly changing world, how do you maximize your church’s effectiveness no matter what you’re faced with?
In Mind the Gap, Clint Grider addresses the question that plagues many pastors’ “Is what we’re doing really working? Are we as effective as we could be?” Using an extended metaphor of the London Underground railway system, Clint offers a thoughtful, timeless way for leaders to evaluate and bridge many of the critical gaps that exist in ministry.
A combination of deep thinking and practical clarity, Mind the Gap demonstrates how churches can know they’re making the best decisions to multiply their disciple-making vision in all contexts. This is not just another leadership book filled with simplistic clichés, nor a book about a new ministry model. Instead, Mind the Gap offers a new mindset that cuts past the noise. For leaders who want to address gaps between what they think the church should produce and what’s actually happening in people’s lives, who want to deepen their people’s growth and impact for Christ, and who want to adapt nimbly when challenges arise, there is Mind the Gap.

Does it count as a book club if I read it with coworkers?
Going through this as a staff so that adds a level to reading.
As a church staff it was helpful to read: simple church requires intentionality and in order to do what we do well, we need strong evaluation built into by the church body. Lots to chew on. It’s definitely over my head in terms of thinking structurally. Just very much not my type of thinking. Glad to be reading with a group.

Some great points, but also some things I think are a little off.
