Acerca de esta escucha
The Western church finds itself in the midst of a seismic cultural shift, as secular paradigms threaten to remove any spiritual explanation for life, and Christianity is often viewed with skepticism and cynicism.
Rather than perceiving these ongoing challenges as irritants to expel, it’s time to see them as opportunities to embrace, so that we might effectively serve the world around us and form a more robust and Christlike church.
Jon Ritner invites you on his journey across two continents, as he moves away from a disciplemaking strategy relying on centralized property, programs, and professionals to one that empowers all the people of God to join his mission and make disciples in the everyday spaces of life.

The best and surest way to pursue such wholeness is through prayer. Not the semimindless I-just-ask-God-for-stuff-then-listen-to-the-deafening-silence kind of prayer you've tried before. That's not working. What you need is authentic connection that leads to harmony with God, yourself, and others. That kind of prayer is what Words with God is all about. In this thoughtful book, Addison Bevere breaks prayer out of its religious box and places it at the center of your everyday life, the place where God longs to make himself real to you.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

The future is now. Philip Jenkins has chronicled how the next Christendom has shifted away from the Western church toward the global South and East. Likewise, changing demographics mean that North American society will accelerate its diversity in terms of race, ethnicity and culture. But evangelicalism has long been held captive by its predominantly white cultural identity and history. In this book professor and pastor Soong-Chan Rah calls the North American church to escape its captivity to Western cultural trappings and to embrace a new evangelicalism that is diverse and multiethnic.

In this newly revised and updated edition, best-selling author John Bevere reemphasizes for a new generation the protective boundaries God provides through authority figures. John reveals how the enemy tricks us into believing our true destinies can be found away from divine leadership by distorting our ability to recognize God's inherent authority and his delegated authority. By teaching us how to properly relate to leadership, John shows why living under authority provides a place where there is provision, protection, and hope for the future.

Essential. A book every pastor needs to listen to.
Don't read this if you aren't truly open to being flexible for God, putting your current church model on the altar. This book is transformative. Jon has key insights into what effective, authentic, missional church should look like going forward. Forget just getting your sermon online and sprucing up your website as a response to COVID. There is so much more! Sunday morning church for so many churches has been a bright, shiny, happy facade for too long. Chapter 11 is particularly powerful with a blueprint for "Food Truck" churches, how to empower your church members to be missional, to be sent, to bring the Kingdom to the people instead of your church just experiencing transfer growth from other churches down the street to come to a once a week experience. Putting these principles in to practice will be radical, but it will make your ministry impenetrable to government restrictions, the whims of what's popular, consumer churchgoer mindsets you may have contributed to. For what it's worth, I am a former missionary, participated in traveling itinerant music ministry, worship leader, have shared my Gospel story through radio and books and have worked with churches and ministries all over the country for decades as a consultant and communicator.
