By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The church has been saturated with the notion that everything rises or falls on leadership. This is so prevalent that many church leaders believe that this phrase is from the Bible.

#2 The only acceptable leadership moves in the church are made by following Jesus himself. If you are stepping off the path of following Jesus in your leadership methods and means, you are not followable yourself.

#3 The first part of the book focuses on the first half of Jesus’s commandment to his disciples about leadership: to be servants. We will explore what it means to be a servant in the kingdom of God, and how we can ensure our churches are servant-centric cultures.

#4 I love to spend time at Steel’s, a Kansas City treasure trove of used Christian books, because the entire place smells like one giant book. I was surprised to find that there were more books on leadership than on discipleship.
