Leadership Under Fire: Developing Courageous Leaders for the Church

We’re proud to announce that our team member Scott Wiggins, USAF (Ret.) has written a book that will help the Church develop courageous leaders. Check it out with the link below. We are grateful for the work Scott continues to do in preparing and growing leaders and affecting real change.

Leadership Under Fire: Developing Courageous Leaders for the Church is a battle-tested call to reclaim what’s too often surrendered in ministry—courageous, competent, Christ-centered leadership.

Drawing from 27 years of service as a U.S. Air Force officer and the realities of ministry “under fire,” Brigadier General (Ret.) Scott Wiggins exposes how the church can unintentionally empower unprepared leaders—and offers a clear, practical path forward. With hard-won stories and biblical conviction, Wiggins equips pastors, elders, staff, and emerging leaders to cultivate the traits that steady organizations in crisis:

integrity

honor

commitment

discipline

humility

courage

wise action

resilience through failure

healthy delegation

adaptability

feedback

evaluation

battle plan for lasting change.

This is not leadership theory for the shelf—it’s a wake-up call and a field manual for churches ready to develop leaders who will stand firm when the pressure comes.
