Embracing Weakness

The Weak Church is a bold invitation for pastors and church leaders who feel the pressure to be strong to discover the surprising power of embracing weakness—where God’s perfect strength meets us, transforms us, and empowers us to lead with greater authenticity and impact. It’s a call to reimagine church leadership from the ground up—where God's power is perfected not in our strength, but our weakness.

Written for weary pastors, disillusioned leaders, and anyone tired of performance trap, this book will challenge your assumptions and point you back to the beauty of the gospel.

Practices to help you lead from the inside out

  • “The Weak Church is unlike any leadership book I’ve ever read. It’s raw, unsettling, and deeply convicting—inviting us into a gospel-rooted way of leading that begins with weakness, not strength. I believe the message of The Weak Church is essential for the Church and its leaders.”

  • “Peter Ahn offers a prophetic and clarion call for the emergence of The Weak Church, which counters the false narratives of a false gospel and embraces the call for the full expression of the authentic gospel. May the church heed this call.”

  • “[Peter's] teaching on the Soulmate uncovered profound truth that apart from repenting in our secret sins to God, we need to be accountable to a fellow man who is flesh and blood. We often skip scriptures like John 20:23 and James 5:14–16.”

    Brian Longwe
    Professor at Elk Christian Mission School
