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.
Let’s start with a little bit of Bible trivia. Do you know what the shortest verse is in the Bible? It’s John 11:35: “Jesus wept.” I’m willing to bet you already knew that one. Now, do you know why Jesus wept? The answer: grief. Jesus’ friend Lazarus had died, and Jesus was grieving the loss […]
*Editor’s Note: As Christians, we ought to strive to be the best thinkers we can be. Why? It’s because thinking reasonably is one of the hallmarks of humanity as God intended us to be. Thinking well helps us avoid painful mistakes and seek wise solutions. Thinking well helps us wisely engage people who are far […]
Does Calvinism paint a biblical portrait of God? Of humans? Are humans totally depraved to such a degree that God must pick who will be saved or not? Are we only made to feel that we have free, personal agency in the matter? What’s the most biblical way to interpret passages like Romans 9? And […]

And with this newfound freedom, the question has now […]
AN INVITATION TO STAY IN THE GAME Your grandkids have peers, possessions, phones, podcasts, and planners. What more could they need? They need you.

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.
