Faithful Leadership
Building a Culture of Trust and Grace in the Modern Church
By Dr. Layne McDonald, Ph.D.
🌿 Lead with Faith. Build with Grace. Inspire with Truth.
In a world obsessed with metrics, image, and influence — Faithful Leadership calls us back to the foundations of trust, humility, and Spirit-led integrity.
This book is not a leadership manual. It’s a reformation of the heart. Dr. Layne McDonald — dual Ph.D., filmmaker, pastor, and leadership mentor — uncovers the biblical and psychological blueprint for transformational leadership that unites teams, restores trust, and multiplies Kingdom impact.
Through a blend of storytelling, theology, neuroscience, and organizational wisdom, Faithful Leadership shows what happens when leaders trade performance for purpose and success for servanthood.
