A Leadership Book for the Soul Behind the Calling

Leadership often looks strongest from the outside right before it begins to fracture on the inside.
Many pastors and ministry leaders know what it means to keep going while quietly carrying exhaustion, isolation, disappointment, unresolved wounds, and the burden of responsibility. They may be gifted, called, and outwardly successful, yet still feel the absence of consistent mentoring, safe relationships, and spiritual covering.
Staying Power was written for that leader.
Rev. Dr. Edwin R. Rideout draws from more than three decades of pastoral ministry, personal experience, biblical insight, and research into generational mentoring in ministry leadership. With honesty and care, he explores the hidden cost of absence and the healing power of faithful presence.
At the heart of the book is a simple but urgent conviction: leaders are not sustained by gifting alone. They are formed through relationship, truth, correction, prayer, humility, endurance, and grace.
