Stuck is a guide for understanding how and why a traditional approach to ministry does not align with the modern realities facing pastors, congregations, and seminaries.

Ferguson and Josh Packard offer a new understanding of why professional ministry can be so alienating today.Stuck shifts the dominant narrative around calling, vocation, and ministry away from a focus on individua...

The performance mindset leaves many Christians feeling stuck-working hard to please God but never quite feeling at peace. Doubts creep in, making the peace of God feel just out of reach, as if we're playing an endless if/then game: If I do everything right, then maybe I'll be okay with God.Living Under the Influence shows how grace frees us from that cycle. It invites us to confront five common myths we often believe about God and ourselves:If I pray and read the Bible more...

The dynamic nature of the British operation at Cambrai in 1917, in particular related to the actions of the British CINC Douglas Haig, provides useful insights into the nature of operational leadership for today. This is true in large part because the Cambrai operation came at a time when technology, tactics and strong political pressure came together to exert their combined influence on all levels of war, particularly the operational level. A similar situation exists today. The primary le...

Bergen County saw much of the American Revolution from its own doorstep. Close to British-occupied New York City, this corner of New Jersey was divided by the Revolution. Some people were staunch Loyalists or Patriots, in disagreement with their families and neighbors; others wavered or remained neutral, while still others changed their minds as was expedient. In the end, the years of hostilities led to massive damage and upheaval within the community as men either left home or stayed near...

Reeser undertakes the first sustained and co...
