DISCOVER JESUS’ STRATEGY FOR RAISING UP LEADERS, GROWING THE CHURCH, AND MULTIPLYING A MOVEMENT
Many churches today struggle to survive, much less multiply. To counter this issue, Craig Etheredge’s The Disciple-Making Leader helps ministry leaders discover how to raise up disciple-making leaders to multiply the ministry at every level in the organization.
Etheredge provides practical steps on how to make and multiply disciple-making leaders. First, he defines discipleship and unpacks Jesus’ clear disciple-making pathway. Next, he looks at the leadership pipeline and how to raise up leaders through every level of an organization. Then he explains how the pathway and pipeline work together to develop a disciple-making leader who can multiply the ministry at every level. Finally, he examines Jesus’ strategy for developing leaders at each stage of the leadership pipeline.
Find out how to grow your church with this practical guide to training disciple-making leaders who multiply a ministry.
I love that Craig is a practitioner of personal and organizational disciple making. The art of both has been lost on most pastors in America.
