“Kiss me. I’m Irish!” That was the phrase on my friend‘s coffee mug. When I saw it, I thought, “I have no idea what that means, but I sure could have used that mug in high school.” Among Irish mythology, the story goes that kissing an Irish person will bring you luck. The legend originates […]
Have you ever said, “Well, it’s not my first choice, but considering my only other option, I guess I’ll go with it”? This is the kind of logic we typically use when it comes to taxes. Is paying taxes your first choice of how you want to spend your money? Paying taxes is not your […]
Middle school students have a way of humbling you. I was speaking at our student ministry’s midweek gathering and closed with a reference to the apostle Paul. Running short on time, I chose to jump in without any thought given to context. I read Acts 28:30-31, “For two whole years Paul stayed there in his […]

What Are You Waiting For?: A Young Leader's Guide to Changing the World, by Josh Branham
SEVEN STRENGTHS YOU HAVE TO BEGIN LEADING TODAY
“Without young leaders we have no future. Branham has put in your hands a powerful
tool with seven principles to help you coach up young leaders.”
—Mark E. Moore, PhD, author of Core 52 and Teaching Pastor at Christ’s Church of
the Valley.
Young people have the capacity to make a difference now, but they don’t always know it. Sadly, many young adults today move through their twenties and still have trouble #adulting. What Are You Waiting For? motivates young leaders to start leading in God’s kingdom today so that they don’t miss out on some of their most significant years of impact.
Author Josh Branham knows that young people don’t have to wait to change the world. Josh was by far the youngest in the room when he volunteered to lead a church plant in Boise, ID. Today, that congregation is thriving, with a powerful vision for kingdom multiplication. You don’t want to wait to lean into significance until your most energetic years are behind you. What Are You Waiting For? will help you:
- Leverage seven strengths you already have and build upon them.
- Identify leadership weaknesses and learn how to grow in those areas.
- Implement healthy life rhythms that allow you to make a difference for years to come.
