Parenting as a Church Leader: Helping your family thrive

by Rachel Turner

When spiritual leadership is the day job, how does it affect family dynamics? How do we spiritually parent our children while also needing to lead the church? How do we balance the many hats we wear? How do we live in a goldfish bowl and yet enable our children to flourish? How do we parent for faith without giving in to the pressure to perform for our congregations? Drawing on extensive research, this book explores the issues and builds a set of simple tools and approaches to help leaders and their families to flourish together.

I found this a surprisingly easy book to read. As a parent of a toddler and a pastor I found a good portion of the book to be applicable to my life here and now although the majority of it was more giving me things to ponder for the future.

The tools of windows and framing remind me of a lot of the tools I've learned from Gentle Parenting techniques/Big Little Feelings.

For me, I think it will be take what applies, leave what doesn't. I do appreciate that the book fits for male or female church leaders/pastors.
