Emotionally Healthy Discipleship

Moving from Shallow Christianity to Deep Transformation

De: Peter Scazzero

Narrado por: Peter Scazzero

The global church is facing a discipleship crisis. Here's how we move forward into transformative discipleship...

Pastors and church leaders want to see lives changed by the gospel. They work tirelessly to care for people, initiate new ministries, preach creatively, and keep up with trends. Sadly, much of this effort does not result in deeply changed disciples.

Traditional discipleship strategies fail because they only address surface issues and do not go deep enough into the emotional health of individuals.

But transformative, emotionally healthy discipleship is a methods-based biblical theology that, when fully implemented, informs every area of a church, ministry, or organization. It is a discipleship structure built from the center that:

• Slows down our lives so we can cultivate a deep, personal relationship with Jesus.
• Challenges the values of Western culture that have compromised the radical call to follow the crucified Jesus.
• Integrates sadness, loss, and vulnerability, that, when left out, leave people defensive and easily triggered.
• Acknowledges God's gift of limits in our lives.
• Connects how our family and personal history influence our discipleship in the present.
• Measures our spiritual maturity by how we are growing in our ability to love others.

In Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, bestselling author Pete Scazzero takes leaders step-by-step through how to create an emotionally healthy culture and multiply deeply-changed people in every aspect of church life, including:

• Leadership and team development
• Marriage and single ministry
• Small groups and youth and children's ministry
• Preaching, worship, and administration
• Outreach

Complete with assessments and practical strategies, Emotionally Healthy Discipleship will help you move people to the beneath-the-surface discipleship that actually has the power to change the world.

**Graphics, assessments, and appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Must Read

I wish I would have read this earlier in my ministry. I would have saved a lot of money on therapy. This is a must read for anyone in, or interested in, ministry.

just on Chapter 1 and this book is speaking

This book is practical and easy to follow. I am only on chapter 1 and am inspired to worship humble to seek God and motivate to put it to work.

The real life application

I really appreciate the psychological explanations and applications instead of a mystical magical explanation of things.

True Gospel Revival Template

As a pastor for 35+ years I have great hope of a new generation of leaders living and implementing true Gospel life change

A great follow up to earlier books

This latest book in the Emotionally Healthy series displayed the author's own growth and maturity. The incorporation of church history and Christian spirituality have been refreshing additions in his last two books.

I loved it

Being emotionally health = increased spiritual possibilities and connectedness.

I enjoyed the history lesson and how he connected his claims to scripture. Actually a lot of this relates to skills taught by therapist

Going deeper with Jesus

Learning to be vulnerable and accept me weaknesses, embrace grief and loss are huge. bought the series!

New Work

With several books with similar titles by the author the concern was for just a recap of older material. Though some of that work is woven into this book it is fresh and new material to truly discuss discipleship in a biblical light.
