In a world obsessed with climbing ladders, seizing power, and dominating the room, Upside Down: The Paradox of Servant Leadership flips the script with the audacious grace of a mustard seed revolution.
Stacy T. Rinehart, drawing from the radical blueprint of Jesus’ ministry, doesn’t just preach servant leadership — he embodies it on every page, challenging us to rethink what true influence looks like.
This isn’t a typical self-help tome laced with corporate buzzwords; it’s a heartfelt manifesto for anyone knee-deep in church work, from pastors wrangling flocks to volunteers keeping the lights on, or the quietly curious soul pondering Jesus’ counterintuitive call to “the last shall be first.”
What makes Upside Down sing is its unapologetic dive into the church’s role as an upside-down kingdom, humble, sacrificial, and disarmingly effective, while extending an open invitation to leaders in boardrooms, classrooms, and beyond.
Rinehart weaves biblical wisdom with real-world grit, showing how embracing vulnerability isn’t weakness but the ultimate power move. If you’ve ever felt the tension between leading like a CEO and loving like Christ, this book is your compass.
