Leading Pentecostally

<p><strong>What can a Pentecostal bring to leadership that the smartest atheist in town cannot?</strong></p><p></p><p>This daring question by Dr. Carolyn Tennant reframes everything: leadership that isn't merely clever or current but Spirit-led rooted in God's presence shaped by God's power and measured by God's mission.</p><p></p><p><em>Leading Pentecostally</em> contends that the Church doesn't just need better methods; it needs leaders who shepherd in step with the Holy Spirit where doctrine and daily decisions meet and presence matters more than polish. </p><p></p><p>We've imported corporate playbooks and crowned CEOs where Jesus asked for followers. Programs platforms and performance can't replace Spirit-authority or the Great Commission's call to go out and make disciple of all men and women.</p><p></p><p>For decades pop-culture leadership trends have captivated the Church promising growth while producing exhaustion. We've counted activity and attendance while neglecting transformation. </p><p></p><p>But<strong> </strong>when leaders step into the river that flows from God's throne <em>when we relinquish control and follow the Spirit</em> life springs up everywhere. </p><p></p><p>Are you ready to leave the safety of the shallows enter the current and watch the Spirit do what strategies never can bringing to life everything your leadership touches? </p><p></p><p>For pastors and lay leaders who suspect there's more than metrics who long to trade stagecraft for surrender and busyness for boldness this book is your invitation and your wake-up call. If you want leadership that feels like Jesus yielded weighty and alive in the Spirit you'll find the language lenses and practical applications here to make it real.</p><p></p><p><strong>You'll especially value:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>A precise answer to the core question:</strong> what the Spirit-filled leader offers that natural brilliance can't-authority guidance and life from God's presence. </li><li><strong>A Pentecostal praxis as distinctive as Pentecostal theology</strong> where presence delivers infinitely more than performance. </li><li><strong>A courageous critique of CEO-style church models</strong> and a Spirit-first alternative aligned with the Great Commission's go out.</li><li><strong>A vivid river of life framework</strong> (Rev. 22; Ezek. 47) for discerning God's leadership plus a way to test results: <em>is everything around you coming alive?</em> </li><li><strong>Practical recalibrations of success</strong> shifting from numbers and notoriety to Spirit-empowered transformation.</li><li><strong>A call to prioritize prayer altars and waiting</strong> making room for the Spirit's boldness gifts and fruit.</li><li><strong>For readers who appreciate trusted voices:</strong> Dr. Tennant has authored several other works including <em>Catch the Wind of the Spirit</em> and <em>Keys to the Apostolic and Prophetic</em>. </li></ul><p></p><p><strong>The river is moving.
