About this listen
The topic of the fivefold ministry - the apostle, prophet, teacher, pastor, and evangelist appointed by Christ to equip his church (Eph, 4:11) - was central to two movements in previous decades: the Shepherding Movement in the 1970s, and the New Apostolic Reformation in the 1990s and early 2000s.
While both movements saw important elements of this ministry restored to the church, they also saw misunderstandings and abuses that prevented the fivefold from becoming more widely established in doctrine and practice. Yet a fresh wave of fivefold restoration is coming to the body of Christ and with it, fresh understanding about why this ministry is so critical to the growth, health, and success of both the local and global church.

Story
For many years, Christians and non-Christians alike have struggled to reconcile the seemingly conflicting depictions of God found in the Bible. How can the legalistic punishing God of the Old Testament also be the loving father that Jesus revealed in the New Testament? The key to answering this question lies in understanding that the Bible is the story of God's covenantal relationship with humanity, and this story plays out through five major covenants. Once you understand these five major covenants, the entire Bible will finally make sense!

Many Christians have a limited view of God and His Kingdom. For centuries we have viewed His Kingdom and His Kingdom agency, the Church, from the limited perspective of our own experiences and the traditions of man. With such a narrow perspective, it is no wonder most people think there has to be something more to this than what we are currently seeing. And there is!

Prophets have always been God's covenant lawyers. Under the Old Covenant, they came as God's lawyers to prosecute his case against his covenant partner, Israel. Now, in the New Covenant, they are still God's covenant lawyers, but the covenant has changed. Instead of pointing out guilt, sin, and condemnation, the New Covenant lawyer's job is to point to the New Covenant, to declare, "You are released from shame; you are forgiven; you are free!"

Living with humans is messy. Our children make messes. Our spouses and friends make messes. So do our coworkers, bosses, pastors, and presidents...and so do we. Messes are scary, painful, and offensive. And whether we're dealing with the pain of a personal failure, the frustration of a disrespectful child, the devastation of a major betrayal, the stress of a workplace conflict, or the fallout of larger social injustices, classically we react the same way - with fear, shame, and punishment.

What does it mean to make your case in the “courts of Heaven?” In recent years, God has raised up Robert Henderson as a prophetic voice, calling Christians to pursue breakthrough by using the courts of Heaven prayer blueprint. God is more willing to answer our prayers than we will ever know! The problem is that we face a legalistic accuser and adversary - the devil - who wants to prevent these prayers from coming to pass. Your victory against him is not fought on a battlefield; it’s won in the courtroom. When your prayers are answered, God’s purposes are fulfilled on the Earth.

The Culture of Honor is a book of reformation. It is intended to disrupt our current model of authority. Jesus put it like this in Matthew 20:25-26: "But Jesus called them to Himself and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. Those with power must learn to empower those around them or we will never build Heaven on the Earth."

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Story
The Reformers viewed the gospel as not merely one thing among many in the life of a church but rather the means by which the church exists. When the gospel is rightly declared and applied to God’s people, the church becomes "a creature of the Word". She understands, embraces, and lives out the reality of Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection in more than her doctrinal statement. The gospel impacts all the church is and does.

I cried at the begining
Listening to this book brought me to tears because my husband and I pastor a church. It was heart clenching because as Pastors (of a small church) we are expected to "be-all". Many churches really miss the apostle role in their body.
Yet, in the same way, I wish Jonathan would have defended pastors a little more because if the apostles don't understand their calling and are not stepping up as fathers, someone has to do it. This is why Pastors are starting churches without an apostle role.
Pastors are willing to do whatever it takes to disciple the sheep, even if the other parts of the body are unaware of their calling. We are desperately missing the apostles, and loving prophets in the church body, and I would love for more evangelists and teachers to join together with the church, as so many are off doing their own ministry because, well... they can. How much more effective it would be to have a 5 working together toward on goal! - this is essentially why I cried. Because if the body understood the contents of Equipping the Equippers, the church would be so much more glorious. Thank you, Jonathan, for writing to help us understand our callings and roles better.

Almost 5 stars
Great analogy in the beginning which set the tone for the rest of the book. Good teaching through the five fold graces. However, the last appendix is where the author kinda went off the rails to promote his views on egalitarianism.

One of the best explanations for helping to bringil clarity to the roles of the 5 fold ministry.
From the first paragraph, which draws the reader in by an unusual way to start, and all throughout the revelation in the knowledge and wisdom presented, immerses one from cover to cover. I honestly have read this several times now, and even 3 times in a row in the first 3 days of receiving it. There is just so much sound information packed into this book, and every time I read it something else stands out. I highly recommend this as a must read.
