Leading change without losing heart... or trust.

Leading change in a church often appears straightforward: articulate the need, propose recommendations, invite discussion, and bring it to a vote. Yet many leaders discover that even well-intended change can unravel into confusion, division, and diminished trust.

Land Ho! addresses this all-too-common reality. Written as a short, engaging dialogue, the book follows a seasoned pastor as he guides a younger, discouraged leader through the challenges of shepherding change within a congregation. Along the way, the authors surface biblically grounded, time-tested principles that help leaders move from frustration to clarity and confidence.

Each chapter concludes with practical guidance for applying these principles in contextually wise and adaptive ways, making the book both reflective and actionable. Land Ho! offers pastors and church leaders a hopeful, gospel-centered framework for leading change that honors Christ, strengthens trust, and moves the church forward with faith and unity.
