Everyone loves a success story.

Yet, if we're truly honest, our successes are shaped more by failure, mistakes and learning than by getting things right the first time.

Pastors and ministry leaders, don't miss this opportunity to get real about the true path to ministry success.

Joining CCN, Pastor Mark Batterson reveals his personal and ministry life experiences to help leaders negotiate the very real challenges and struggles of ministry leadership.

"We don't talk transparently enough about the challenges that we face as leaders," says Mark Batterson.

Mark reveals his own trials and errors pastoring National Community Church - a church that began as a small group of 20 in the Washington, DC metro area and is now a multi-site church meeting in Metro™ stop movie theatres throughout the DC area.

"I think that the cure for the fear of failure is failure... we want to make mistakes because that means we are stepping out and trying things," says Mark.

You'll examine five obstacles that all leaders face:

• The Emotional Challenge: Overcoming fear, discouragement and jealousy.
• The Family Challenge: Setting healthy and holy boundaries.
• The Criticism Challenge: Handling criticism and pride.
• The Staffing Challenge: Building a team.
• The Spiritual Challenge: Keeping a healthy pace.
