Do you feel the strain of leading through constant change? Many Christian leaders were trained for a model that no longer fits the complexity of today's church and workplace. Gordon-Conwell's free resource guide, Leading as Ligaments: The Connective Work of Christian Leadership, offers a different way forward.

Written by Dr. Eun Ah Cho, associate professor of Intercultural Studies and dean of the Gordon-Conwell Institute, this devotional guide draws on her extensive experience in leadership development, missional leadership, and collaborative adult learning. It moves through three themes—cultural intelligence, formation, and what it means to lead as a ligament rather than an independent operator—pairing Scripture with reflection questions and a prayer prompt in each section.

Work through it on your own or with your team, and walk away with a leadership posture measured not by personal achievement, but by the collective flourishing of those you serve. Download your free copy today.

IN THE MAGAZINE

Cover Image of the September/October issue, 2026.

For our 70th anniversary issue, we’re studying the past. Excerpts from our archives show evangelicals in Billy Graham’s day and our own grappling with our place in public life. A new book offers a fascinating history of Christian womanhood—but makes a misleading argument, according to our reviewer. We’re also peering into the future. Artificial intelligence, GLP-1 drugs, anti-aging surgeries, next steps for the pro-life movement: These are some of the issues likely to occupy Christians for the next seven decades. But mostly, we’re spending time in the present: With a Honduran man who found himself pastoring in a Massachusetts jail while detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. With the evangelical owners of a traditional Korean spa engaged in a religious freedom showdown. With faithful believers doing good work—a chef, an architect, a ball boy, a teacher (who, at age 91, is older than CT!). And with the writers of our newly expanded testimony section, who found God’s faithfulness in the midst of alien conspiracies, after a bad accident, and via an envelope in a refrigerator. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amid our own era’s change, conflict, and uncertainty, we hope this issue declares that reassuring truth.
