"A Follower's Life's Work"

Maybe the Church you long for is the same one Jesus longed to see?
And maybe the Church you loathe was never in God’s mind EVER meant to be?
 
Some have called it his life message, others a rallying cry.  Mike Slaughter’s new book, entitled “Change the World: Recovering the Message and Mission of Jesus,” is already at the top of some publisher lists.
 
Your heart will resonate and find its home in a vision for the church that is immediately intuitive to your own soul.
 
Each chapter covers a key dynamic and paradigm shift that the church is waking up to, finding its true kingdom purpose, a kingdom not unto itself but unto Christ.
 
Missional vs. Attractional
Inclusive vs. Exclusive
Disciples vs. Decisions
Micro vs. Macro
Multiplication vs. Expansion
Mission vs. Mortar
Courage vs. Compliance
 
Which church are you serving?  The one you loathe or the one you long for?  “The Lord still gives the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4).”  Is your heart beating for a new kind of church?  You don’t necessarily have to leave the one you’ve got, just trust God to create it using your own hands under your own feet.
 
Longing to thrive in Christ with you,
 
Chris H
