Leading from the Second Chair is a powerful meditation on the often-overlooked calling of those who lead from beside rather than in front—particularly the spouses of senior pastors whose ministries are equally anointed, yet frequently unseen.
Through deeply personal reflection and spiritual insight, the author offers a voice to the silenced, naming the tension, sacrifice, and sacred strength required to serve faithfully in a role the Church rarely defines, let alone affirms.
This book speaks directly to the “called but not always recognized,” those who carry vision, intercede fervently, and lead with wisdom—yet are too often perceived as supporting cast in their own divine assignment. It dismantles the myth that visibility equates to value, challenging the Church to widen its lens and honor the fullness of what God is doing through both leaders in a pastoral partnership.
Written with honesty, grace, and prophetic clarity, Leading from the Second Chair is both a balm and a battle cry for every co-laborer whose ministry lives in the margins. It is an affirmation that the second chair is not a lesser calling, but a holy and strategic place—where harmony is held, burdens are borne, and God’s glory still shines.
