Clean Up On Aisle 7: A Pastor's Guide to Navigating Church Conflict: Discerning and Responding to th

Clean Up on Aisle 7 is a straight-talking, hope-filled guide for pastors and ministry leaders who are navigating the messy realities of church life.
Written by seasoned pastors Rev. Michael Page and Rev. David Ralph, this book draws from decades of experience shepherding churches of all sizes - and from their shared passion through Shepherds Hope Ministries to encourage pastors who are in the trenches today.
With humor, grace, and practical wisdom, Michael and Dave pull back the curtain on the kinds of conflicts, tensions, and leadership challenges that many pastors never learned about in seminary - but face every week in real life.
From minor irritations to major crises, from burnout to leadership missteps, from strained relationships to doctrinal divides - this book offers biblical insights, real-world stories, and tested strategies to help pastors:
✅ Handle everyday church conflicts with greater wisdom and peace
✅ Understand how leadership style impacts conflict resolution
✅ Avoid letting small issues fester and metastasize
✅ Recognize and recover from ministry fatigue and burnout
✅ Lead with humility, courage, and Spirit-led discernment - even when facing tough situations
✅ Stay faithful to their calling through the ups and downs of ministry
Whether you are a young pastor just starting out, a seasoned shepherd with battle scars, or a denominational leader who coaches and cares for other pastors - Clean Up on Aisle 7 will encourage your heart, strengthen your leadership, and remind you that you are not alone in this calling.
God has called you - and He will equip you - even when ministry gets messy.
