Life is about choices. Where you live, the schools you attend, your career path, who you marry - all affect your success and satisfaction. Many of these choices are dichotomous. If I live here, I can’t live there. If I attend this university, I can’t also go to that one. Leaders often see their workplace strategy as an equally “this or that” choice.

In Called to Stay Breakey takes a refreshingly honest look at the church, the problem of Millennials leaving, and the stark reality of why the church desperately needs them. He holds nothing back as he unleashes an ambitious rallying cry to heal the church and inject his generation's desire for truth, passion, and conviction into other believers.

Why are we spending more money than ever to make work better, only to see it get worse? Billions of dollars and countless time is spent each year to improve the employee and customer experience, and yet each year, surveys show that we’re more miserable than ever. The effects of this misery crop up in all kinds of symptoms: the remote/hybrid workplace debate, rampant imposter syndrome, and fears of having our jobs replaced by AI. In response, we throw more money at these symptoms, rather than seeking the root cause of our unhappiness. With all this in mind, it begs the question: is the way we work working?

As humans we are social beings. Our organizations are too. Therefore, we create opportunities to interact with each other. This book speaks about one of those entities - the Baptist association. The purpose of an association is to help members of the association - the churches - work, fellowship, and better fulfill their purposes. The association does not take the place of a church; it is there to help so it can function better. The purpose of this book is to help churches form associations which can help them fulfill their purposes. It is also a tool that can be useful to the associational...

Mission, vision, values, and aspirational statements are meant to be more than decorations and slogans that make organizations look good in the eyes of employees, customers, investors, and stakeholders. When articulated properly, vision and mission statements can be powerful tools and can be positioned as strategic road maps to steer and unite organizations, employees, and stakeholders toward common objectives and goals. In addition, vision and mission statements can help corporations and organizations define their purpose and establish a unique corporate identity.

Discipleship is costly. Are we willing to critique and even challenge much we've been taught for the sake of the kingdom? For this is the radical nature of the discipleship to which Jesus calls us. He did not allow the outside culture to hold him captive; instead he established the kingdom of God and turned the world on its head. Jesus was untamed, and he calls his church to be the same.

Filled with real-life stories from the authors’ own experiences, Teach a Man to Fish provides churches and missions organizations with a blueprint for helping people help themselves in order to create lasting change and long-term sustainability and independence.

Forget about building a business - businesses fail and fade into oblivion. Start a revolution instead. James Watt started a rebellion against tasteless mass market beers by founding BrewDog, now one of the world’s best-known and fastest growing craft breweries, famous for beers, bars, and crowdfunding. In this smart, funny book, he shares his story and explains how you too can tear up the rule book and start a company on your own terms. It’s an anarchic, DIY guide to entrepreneurship - and a new manifesto for business.

On Mission serves as a resource for personal leadership development, crafted by Sean Georges and John Buford, two former Marine Corps officers with a combined 80 years of leadership experience in military, business, nonprofit, education, and the wilderness. Beginning with the key question, “What is my best and highest role, in support of my teammates, in alignment with our mission?” the authors provide listeners with the tools and perspective needed to navigate and shape their own unique developmental journey.

The fullness and vigour of Christianity has been in decline in the life of the West, the application of gospel truths often limited to personal evangelism and our personal prayer life. But this is a radically narrow view of the Christian mission. In the biblical narrative we see a vision for the mission of God’s people that is nothing less than the faithful worship of God in every area of life and culture - in our laws, educational institutions, politics, and arts, to name just a few.

Many people think philanthropy is something only wealthy people can do. When leaders and brands empower people to experience the joy of giving, they win everyday givers’ hearts and minds. When you inspire people to think of philanthropy as an act of generosity and not as a management function, they are more likely to achieve their charitable goals. When you inspire people because you begin the relationship with a grateful and generous heart, you’re more likely to succeed in your fundraising goals. Learn how Morgan Roth, Lauren Steiner, Megan Constantino, Brian Frederick, Cecilia Render,...

What does it take to build and maintain a truly enduring and continuously successful business - one that stands the test of time, turbulence and change and despite all that has continued to set the standard for performance and excellence by which other organizations are measured? What really makes your organization unique? What really distinguishes us in the minds of our customers or other key stakeholders - makes us stand out in a way that motivates customers to want to do business or have a relationship with us rather than a competitor? What are those most important factors which form the...

Drawing on her experience as a pioneering business and nonprofit leader, a politically active citizen, and a parent, she diagnoses the largest problem facing our country today: untapped potential. Too often American men and women are held back by systems that prevent them from working and flourishing. Too many people lose hope for themselves.

Understand the paradigmatic shift that is happening in city ministry around the world - the shift from internal church concern to external community focus - and learn how to live out and lead others in this missional approach.

Paul Sparks, Tim Soerens, and Dwight J. Friesen have seen—in cities, suburbs, and small towns all over North America—how powerful the gospel can be when it takes root in the context of a place, at the intersection of geography, demography, economy, and culture. This is not a new idea—the concept of a parish is as old as Paul's letters to the various communities of the ancient church. But in an age of dislocation and disengagement, the notion of a church that knows its place and gives itself to where it finds itself is like a breath of fresh air, like a sign of new life.

Can we trust the Bible, or has it been distorted over the centuries? If Christians believe that the Bible contains the very words of Almighty God, why have most never read it cover to cover or made it part of their daily lives? How did we get the Bible? How should one respond to legitimate criticism? Everyone believes something when it comes to religion. Atheists believe there is no God. Atheists are not unreasonable, they are just arguing from a different starting point. How should we think about atheism? Are angels and demons real, or just a Hollywood invention? If the devil exists, why ...
