King Bimbisara, Gautama’s most distinguished patron, met a tragic end when his son Ajatasattu murdered him and took the throne. It was Gautama’s own cousin Devadatta, who was jealous and saw Bimbisara’s patronage as his greatest obstacle to success, who incited Ajatasattu […]

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.
