Where Jesus Leads: Helping Christian Communities to Follow

What is the difference between a thriving church and one that's static--or even crumbling? The right kind of leadership journey and practice can make all the difference. And the right type of journey and practice doesn't start with the leaders themselves, but with Jesus Christ and his kingdom.

Christian leaders must continually follow Jesus and learn to lead alongside him. In Where Jesus Leads, Jim Gettel draws on Scripture to prepare readers to truly follow Jesus, build communities, make and strengthen disciples, and serve others. He starts by reviewing basic kingdom truths, giving leaders a solid theological foundation upon which to grow. Then he gives practical tips on how best to love and disciple people within the Christian community, as well as the greater communities. Finally, he equips leaders to nurture and guide other leaders, just as the earliest disciples did.

Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection and group discussion.
