Books By Gabe Kolstad
Practical, honest books on marriage, faith, and leading a healthy church — written the same way I coach: pastor to pastor, no fluff.
Hope For Stuck Churches
For leaders who want to bring health, growth, and lasting impact to their churches. It's the story of one church's dramatic transition — from small and plateaued to a vibrant, growing, multi-site community — and how we handled the changes in leadership, name, bylaws, teaching style, staffing, and even locations while continuing to grow. I share the failures and the mistakes right alongside the principles we discovered for enduring ministry.
