The Glorious Risk

Freeing the church from managerialism and the martyr complex
It's time to move beyond McLeadership and martyr complexes, argues Chloe Lynch. The church's future lies in leadership lived as friendship.
What is happening in church leadership? Can anything be done?In The Glorious Risk, Lynch challenges the broken stories shaping Western church leadership, where leaders become either pseudo-CEOs or burned out martyrs to the cause. Instead, Lynch offers a fresh, biblically faithful vision: leadership as friendship.Rooted in God's invitation to relationship through Christ, this book reimagines leadership as a journey of friendship. With deep theological insight and lived experience, Lynch deconstructs harmful leadership models, reveals the life-giving potential of true friendship and shows how embracing this approach can transform churches from the inside out.Accessible, engaging and thought-provoking, this work is a must-read for church leaders, ministry students and those yearning for a leadership style that embodies the beating heart of the gospel. Learn to lead in love and be inspired to redefine leadership in your own community.
