Renewing the Teachings of Jesus to Fuel Disciple Making
We are disciples of Jesus from various ethnicities, generations, nations, and communities and we champion all of Jesus’ teachings for disciple making and disciple making movements.
Young John escaped the ravenous agnosticism tormenting the other disciples by insightfully seeing meaning in the evidence Jesus left in the tomb: the nearly undisturbed shroud meant Jesus had levitated through it, and the carefully folded headband lying apart meant Jesus had finished housekeeping before departing. It didn’t impact Simon Peter that way, however. And […]
What is Good Friday, and why do Christians celebrate it? Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday. It is commemorated as the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified. For many Christians, it is a special day of fasting and repentance. Let’s explore Good Friday and what makes a day of execution something we […]
“These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering and the fellowship offering, which the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai in the Desert of Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord.” (Leviticus 7:37–38, NIV) […]

The most foundational family discipleship passages in Scripture are written with the parent-child relationship in focus. For example: “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children.” (Deuteronomy 6:6–7a, NIV) Listen, […]
They come out of their gates each morning and follow him down the street because they know him. In the evening they slip back through their gates as he walks along the street. I grew up as a missionary kid just outside of Mexico City. Our town had a population of 30,000-40,000 people. It was […]

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.
