Pivot Now: Mastering Change for the Sake of Our Mission

Chuck Bomar urges pastors to adapt preaching, leadership, and discipleship methods to reach a changing culture while protecting the gospel mission and avoiding the drift from courage to comfort.See the shift. Lead the change. Protect what matters.What if the biggest threat to your ministry isn’t change— but staying the same? In Pivot Now, Chuck Bomar delivers a bold, urgent reminder for ministry leaders: God’s mission will outlast the methods you love. Culture has shifted beneath our feet, yet many ministries continue operating as if it hasn’t… and the cost is growing.This book isn’t about chasing trends or staying relevant for relevance’s sake. It’s about protecting the mission. With pastoral clarity and prophetic urgency, Bomar shows how leaders can adapt without compromising truth, to articulate what exactly has changed about the faith process so they can appropriately pivot.Drawing from decades of leadership experience, Chuck explains:The actual cultural shifts reshaping faith todayInternal patterns keeping ministries stuckHow to lead change when resistance risesNeeded changes in teaching to a fragmented cultureDiscipleship pathways leading to transformationMission isn’t lost in a moment. It’s lost slowly. Pivot Now articulates this drift and helps leaders respond before it’s too late. This book is for ministry leaders that sense something has shifted, but need language for it. For leaders that know adaptability is not compromise, but faithfulness. For leaders ready to reach the world for what it is, not as it used to be.Because the mission hasn’t changed. But the moment has. Pivot now.What people are saying about Pivot Now:“In a culture where so much is constantly changing, why is it that so often the Church fails to adapt? In Pivot Now, Chuck challenges leaders—in every area of ministry—to take the hard steps to meet people where they’re at today. Yes, the truths of the Gospel will never change, but the moment we’re living in undoubtedly has. If as pastors and leaders we want to continue reaching people into the next decade and beyond, Pivot Now should be required reading.”- Adam Weber, lead pastor of Embrace Church, author, podcast host“Pivot Now is a timely call for church leaders serving and navigating communities through the complexities of our day. Chuck Bomar gives language to the disorientation so many of us feel and helps us see the landscape with renewed courage and compassion. This isn't another book of change for change's sake but a deep invitation to hold fast to the way of Jesus while adapting methods for the sake of the mission. Pivot Now is a helpful guide for leaders who desire to serve faithfully and effectively.”- Jay Y. Kim, Pastor and Author“In basketball, to pivot means one foot remains constant while the other moves to adapt to the situation to create a better path to success. Exactly what Chuck has created in this work for ministry leaders. Incredible insights around a pivot posture. The art of expecting, understanding, embracing even celebrating change while remaining anchored in biblical foundational truths and values. From beginning to end I was encouraged and challenged to reshape the way I think of change. Mission over methods!”- Shane Williamson, President and CEO Fellowship of Christian Athletes“Pivot Now is a book that is not theoretical about leadership and change. It comes from someone who has been in the trenches of leading through the ups and downs and fast-changing world we are in, which requires quick, but deep thinking and the ability to pivot. I say this not as cliche, but when Chuck Bomar speaks about leadership and mission, I listen.”- Dan Kimball, Pastor, Professor, and Author Read more
