Pathway to Powerful
In 2014, Carla Chud joined the executive leadership team of her church following a corporate wakeup The organization was declining toward a crisis point, and the problem lay with dysfunctional relationships among the leadership. Taking these truths to heart, the leadership team set off on a journey to transform themselves and their culture. With the help of coaching, inner healing, and one another, they identified the powerless dynamics in their thinking and behavior and replaced them with a powerful identity, mindset, and practices. Along the way, they began to establish the core values and practices of a courageous culture that encourages honest communication, healthy feedback and confrontation, dreaming, risk-taking, and vibrant connections. In The Pathway to Powerful, Carla lays out the practical steps of this leadership journey.

Simple read with great building upon Culture of Honor and some straight-to-the-heart hitters in the middle about how we love others independently of their actions. Wow.

The backbone of this book is great. I have learned a great deal about areas I need to grow in communicating and processing my own junk - Carla does a great job using her story to communicate areas of failed interaction and culture we have all encountered within ourselves.
The draw back of this book is the same one I encountered in Danny Silks 'Keep your love on', (which is almost part 1 of this book) that is a use of organisational language, (organisation, hierarchy, employees etc) when describing issues within the church. The use of business leadership models as a model for who we are as the Church, and how we are called to function, is the real draw-back of this book.

This is a powerful resource that expands, clarifies, and gives examples of Danny Silk’s resources on Culture of Honor and Keep Your Love On. I’d read those two books and considered myself fluent and well-practiced in those relational tools. But Carla’s vulnerability and eye-opening stories brought a lot of clarity to my own life and ministry that have led to so much growth. I’m grateful for her heart for developing and sharing how to establish healthy culture.

Helpful and insightful
This book is practical and empowering. I love how the author shares her own stories of failure and growth. It helps us see that we can learn and grow into who we are meant to be in Christ. This is the kind of book I will read multiple times because it’s got many practical tools and strategies to lead yourself and others. The section on values in building teams and training people was really good.

Wow! Did not realize how much I didn’t see in so many interaction.
I read this book to prepare me to join leadership with our church. I had no idea what I was in for until reading this book.
So many important parts to being a leader and being led. Most of all, looking for ways to follow Jesus and point others there to in a healthy, honor cultures was really eye opening for me.

Remarkable book on leadership. Heavily influenced by Danny Silk but definitely not a repeat of his writings. I would recommend this book to any leader desiring to work in ministry settings of any kind!

The Pathway to Powerful, is telling a lot of small stories which deals with problems in leadership and the tools used to overcome those issues.
Carla Chud takes us through a lot of different scenarios their leadership team worked through and grew from.
She refers to tools found in Danny Silk's "Keeping Your Love On" unfortunately they aren't really described within this book and I would suggest reading that one beforehand. That is a great book, that I've read 3 times already.
She also uses terms which I'm not sure is really explained either, a "SOZO" I think it's called and is about healing body, soul and spirit.
It's great to hear about other leaders issues and how they overcame them, because it gives insight how to overcome them ourselves whenever we meet them.
After a lot of layers of growth as individuals and as a leadership team, she also shares some insight on how to build an healthy culture.
The importance of defining the values on which to build, how to implement them and use them to stay true to the vision of the church.
