Is America the next missionary graveyard? Or is it ripe for
spiritual revolution? The statistics seem grim. Every year, the
decline of Christianity continues at a rapid pace, especially among
young adults. Churches across the country are closing their doors,
dying, or are being "adopted" by nearby larger churches. What is
the story church leaders hear? We've lost the next generation. But
this decline in religious affiliation has not made us less
spiritual. Young adults are still asking questions that only faith
(or religion) can fully answer. Questions are like seeds buried in
the rich, dark soil of our hearts. Nurtured with oxygen and water,
they unfold into that which they were meant to become. Absent these
conditions, they wither in the dark. Those most resistant to
Christianity are those whose questions did not receive oxygen in
their faith communities while they were children and teenagers. Not
a Hopeless Case is the story of questions, the questions of young
adults about faith and spirituality--young adults who are lost and
want to be found--and the questions of pastors who seek to find
them.
The main challenges and strategies of success for CHRISTIAN WOMEN
LEADERS Are you showing up for your own life? Or are you watching
it slowly drain away, each moment emptied of its potential? At age
twenty, Halee Gray Scott was doing things her way when God
challenged her with these two questions. Confronted with the
brevity of human life, she determined to start living with purpose
and passion and help others do the same. For the last seven years,
Halee has been studying the lives of female Christian leaders to
determine what keeps them from fully flourishing as people of
influence. It's not that Christian women cannot or do not want to
lead; it's that their way is fraught with roadblocks. In Dare
Mighty Things, Halee unpacks the results of her research, tackling
the top challenges for Christian women, including: * What prevents
us from seeing ourselves as leaders * How to discern what we are
really, truly meant to do * How to navigate between our roles as
women and leaders * How the myth that only "exceptional" Christian
women can lead hurts all Christian women Dare Mighty Things is a
guidebook for women navigating the difficult waters of leadership.
Packed with helpful advice and strategies for success, it will
challenge you to claim your God-given potential and lead with
confidence, poise, and grace.
