Most seminary graduates will begin their ministries with plenty of important head knowledge to share--but with a deficit of some of the most practical aspects of doing ministry, such as- which ministry role most suits them- how to start out strong at a new church- persevering during difficult seasons of ministry- leading meetings and delegating tasks- safeguarding their family- fighting discouragement, pastor envy, and a lack of contentment- navigating special ministry needs, such as hospitals, weddings, and funerals- and much moreThrough his hard-won wisdom, Jason Helopoulos comes alongside new pastors as a trusted friend and mentor, ready to guide them through their first years of ministry with intelligence and compassion.

"In the midst of our suffering we need a wake-up call to the truth that God’s steadfast love never ceases.”—Dave Furman, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Church of Dubai; author, Being There and Kiss the WaveAre you feeling despondent, depressed, or discouraged? When we encounter severe trials and suffering, we are often tempted to think that our situation is somehow out of God’s hands. In these dark times, God seems silent, and we feel isolated, confused, and alone. Everyone experiences suffering; even the biblical writers expressed anguish at times. This emotion is clearly captured in the Psalms. Through these brief meditations on Psalms 88 and 89, Ligon Duncan shows us how to respond to our own suffering with the assurance of our heavenly Father’s mercy, which sustains us even in the darkest circumstances. Includes a foreword by Mark Dever, president of 9Marks and pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist ChurchMeditates on Psalms 88 and 89, pointing to God’s promises to sustain Christians in the midst of sufferingPoints to examples of lament in Scripture in the midst of lonely and confusing circumstancesWritten by the chancellor and CEO of Reformed Theological Seminary
