<p>Every year, thousands of pastors are forced from their ministries, many never to return. Studies reveal that forced terminations, once having occurred in a local church, often repeat themselves in the same church, demonstrating a pattern of dysfunction and difficulty within those fellowships. In Toxic Church, Creech examines how the patterns of family dysfunction find their way into the life of the local church, often producing severe conflict, causing division, enabling sin, and even ending the ministry of the pastor and possibly even the local church. Additionally, Creech outlines a plan for recognizing dysfunction within the church family, diagnosing the root causes of that dysfunction, and taking steps to protect the church and the pastor from what many now call the epidemic caused by toxic churches and the clergy killers within them.</p>

<p>Now more than ever, character is important. By becoming more like Christ, we are not only fulfilling God's purpose for our lives, but we are also showing the lost who Christ is. Bad character has the potential to drive a wedge between Christ and the people that need to be reached. Good character developed in Christ will draw people closer to him. How can we model the same character traits that Christ modeled? How can we embody what he embodied during his time on earth? Join in as we look at ten character traits of Christ, how he modeled them, and how we can practice those traits in our own lives.</p>
