Dr. Kevin Wells knows what it feels like to stand in the pulpit on Sunday morning, wondering if you're truly making the difference God called you to make. After more than three decades in ministry, he understands the weight of wanting to empower your congregation while struggling to delegate without feeling like you're abandoning your pastoral calling. Kevin didn't write The Forward Thinking Pastor from a comfortable corner office-he wrote it from the reality of ministry life. He knows the frustration of having a vision bigger than your time and resources. He's wrestled with the question that keeps many pastors awake at night: "How do I effectively prepare others to take on ministry tasks without compromising excellence or authenticity. "Even when the congregation was small and the budget tight, Kevin discovered something transformative: the future of your church doesn't depend on your ability to do everything-it depends on your willingness to equip everyone. This revelation changed not only his ministry but his life, bringing the balance between faithful shepherding and sustainable leadership that every pastor craves. With a Doctor of Ministry in Leadership and master's degrees in both Leadership & Discipleship and Pastoral Counseling/Life Coaching, Kevin combines theological depth with battle-tested wisdom. As a Certified John Maxwell Coach, Speaker, and Trainer, he has dedicated his life to one mission: helping pastors move beyond the myth that success is measured by numbers alone to discover the deeper fulfillment that comes from multiplication. "I've met too many pastors who are drowning in good work while their families wonder if they'll ever come up for air," Kevin reflects. "God's design for ministry was never meant to crush the minister. "Through proven strategies and personal stories forged in real pastoral challenges, Kevin equips leaders to build churches that thrive-not because the pastor does everything, but because the pastor empowers everyone. When ministry and family harmony seem impossible to balance, Kevin shows you there's a better way forward. Your calling is clear. Your heart is willing. Now discover how to prepare your people for the ministry God has waiting-and find the fulfillment in leadership you've been searching for.
