Books by Craig Groeschel

It has been rightly said that "e;Jesus is the hope of the world."e; While we can never argue against the importance of the power of the risen Son of God, it is also true that "e;the local church is the hope of the world."e; After all, the church is the body of Christ. Jesus manifested himself through the church. And we, as the church, are chosen and called by God to be light in the darkness and give hope to the hopeless.For this reason, it is critical for the body of Christboth pastors and laypeople aliketo learn how to lead like it matters. In this study guide, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shares what he has learned in more than twenty-six years of leading LifeChurch. The church began in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty furnishings and faulty audiovisual equipment, but people were drawn there because they sensed a powerful, life-changing force that Craig calls "e;it."e; While exactly what "e;it"e; is can be difficult to define, Craig reveals seven factors that contribute to it (or at least don't kill it):Sessions include: VisionDivine FocusUnmistakable CamaraderieInnovative MindsWillingness to Fall ShortHearts Focused OutwardKingdom-MindednessCraig also unpacks three important realms that every leader must master: (1) prioritizing mindset over model, (2) creating systems that empower it, and (3) finding a balanced way to lead to stay centered around it. While adopting these seven factors and realms will not guarantee a church will have that "e;it"e; factor, it will certainly lead that church toward it. It will help all of us lead like it matters.
