The Lonely Chair

About this book

Who pastors the pastor?Tommy Roberson first asked that question as a kid, watching his dad come home exhausted from church. Twenty years into leading churches and staff teams himself, he knows the honest answer most leaders live with: usually nobody.The Lonely Chair is for the person sitting in that seat. Maybe you're struggling and feel alone in it. Maybe you're brand new and still figuring out what kind of leader to be. Or maybe everything looks fine from the outside while you quietly carry more than anyone knows.Think about the best leader you ever had. Now think about the worst. You remember both. So do the people you lead.Built around one sentence, "A Relational Leader is someone who...," thirteen chapters finish it one trait at a time across three parts: The Foundation, The Method, and The Long Game. Every chapter closes with a Mirror Moment to help you look honestly at your own leadership, and a Dear Leader letter written to the person in the chair.Inside, you'll learn how to: Invest in people before they need you Receive care, not just give it Do life with people, not just for them Become the leader you always wished you'd had With a foreword by Brandon Guindon, Senior Pastor of Real Life Ministries Texas.
