In Lasting Impact, Carey Nieuwhof leads you and your team through seven conversations that will help your church grow and have a lasting impact.

Is the Church truly equipped—or merely gathered? Many believers sit in services for years but never discover their assignment, never grow into maturity, and never learn how to serve with power, wisdom, and biblical order. The Fivefold Ministry was written for leaders and believers who know the Church was meant for more than attendance, titles, and routine.

Yet confusion, abuse, imbalance, and shallow ...

Hijacking Jesus addresses perennial questions about the nature of Christ and his teaching, testing the historical and theological accuracy of progressive Christians.

Athanasius rightly knew that upon one’s view of Christ hung one’s eternal destiny. As he wrote to the bishops of Egypt in 356: “as therefore the struggle that is now set before us concerns all that we are, either to reject or to keep the faith, let us be zealous and resolve to guard what we have received, bearing in mind the confession that was written down at Nicaea.” And, by God’s grace, his victory in that struggle has been of enormous blessing to the church ever since.

What if church was never meant to be the finish line, but the place where believers are prepared, strengthened, and sent?
