About this listen

 An influential pastor, podcaster, and thought leader believes it's not only possible to predict life's hardest moments, but also to alter outcomes, overcome challenges, and defeat your fiercest adversaries.

Founding Pastor of one of North America's most influential churches, Carey Nieuwhof wants to help you avoid and overcome life's seven hardest and most crippling challenges: cynicism, compromise, disconnectedness, irrelevance, pride, burnout, and emptiness. These are challenges that few of us expect but that we all experience at some point. If you have yet to confront these obstacles, Carey provides clear tools and guidelines for anticipation and avoidance. On the other hand, if you already feel stuck in a painful experience or are wrestling with one of these challenges, he provides the steps you need to find a way out and a way forward into a more powerful and vibrant future.

I am in the first section but I am amazed at the clarity of insight of this book!

The author is nailing me about cynicism, which mostly originates from being hurt by people. Though not a pastor myself, I identify deeply with what the author is describing. I feel more self-aware now but also more aware of the issues facing my own leaders.

This is a must-read!!

A life-changing read!

I gave this book 5out of 5 stars. I recommend it to all pastors and leaders. There is much to learn and even more importantly to unlearn. Very practical and heart penetrating book. Thank you.

Good book for pastors and leaders in general

Very easy to listen to and follow. Some good principles, although it is very much based on Carey’s experience and personality style, so his approach in some chapters didn’t resonate. Having said that, it was good for provoking deeper thought and was helpful to start me on a self evaluation process.

Great narration

A deep look at his burn out etc. It’s worth scheduling to listening to again some years in the future.
If you know Carey Nieuwhof’s work well some of this won’t be so new, but it is still helpful and enjoyable. I especially liked the reflections on Ecclesiastes.

Some really good stuff
