Clay Scroggins knows how it feels to have zero authority. He started at North Point Ministries as a ‘facilities intern’ where he was (literally) in charge of nothing. Today Clay serves as lead pastor at North Point Community Church. Yet he isn’t completely in charge: Clay’s boss is Andy Stanley.

Clay holds a degree in industrial engineering from Georgia Tech. But he also earned a doctorate at Dallas Theological Seminary (where he met his wife) – and served for many years in student ministry. Clay’s life and his first book are similar: a blend of practical insight and spiritual wisdom, with a dash of Southern humor.
