When leaders emerge from some churches, it is often by accident. Something is missing. Something is off.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors Eric Geiger (author of the best-selling \u003ci\u003eSimple Church\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCreature of the Word\u003c\/i\u003e) and Kevin Peck argue that churches that consistently produce leaders have strong convictions to develop leaders, healthy cultures for leadership development, and helpful constructs to systematically and intentionally build leaders. All three are essential for leaders to be formed through the ministry of a local church.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the first recordings of history, God has made it clear that he has designed creation to be led by his covenant people. More than that, he has decided what his people are to do with that leadership. Whether you are called to lead in your home, in the marketplace, in God's church, or in your community, if you are called by God you are called to lead others to worship the glory of God in Jesus Christ.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod has designed his people to lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn EChristian, Inc. production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DINE ALONE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160753094896,"sku":"2940169943139","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169943139_p0.jpg?v=1763697732","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169943139","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
