Publisher's summary

How do churches grow and make an impact in their community . . . and the world? They work together in intentional ways in order to maximize everyone's gifts. They're mission-driven.

Church Is a Team Sport shows proven ways to push believers, new and mature, toward growth as both Christians--and leaders. Through this powerful, thought-provoking volume, ministers both in the congregation and on staff will discover how to expand the church one soul at a time.

Making disciples is the crux of pastor Jim Putman's message. The plan works. Caring for people, following up on stray sheep, and teaching what it means to love God and obey him. That's how Church Is a Team Sport transforms Christians from Monday-morning quarterbacks into dynamic players.

“Jim Putman is a coach at heart. He is a leader of people, and they follow him. He is committed, authentic, and refreshingly honest. What you see is what you get. . . . He boils everything down to its essence and is not distracted. But at the core he cares. He cares for people and believes that one sheep should not be lost no matter what it costs the shepherd. You cannot read this book with an open heart and remain nonchalant about the people God has put in your care.”
—From the foreword by Avery Willis,
author and international speaker


“Time out . . . this one’s the real deal! Jim Putman does an awesome job of challenging Christian leaders to rethink the boxes we find ourselves in. Church Is a Team Sport is a gutsy book that promotes innovative and practical means for how to become a true team. There’s no trash talking here, just positive lessons to improve your church.”
—Dave Stone, senior pastor,
Southeast Christian Church, Louisville, Kentucky


“Jim Putman has written a clear, practical, and powerful guide for doing church together, as a team. His authenticity is refreshing and the story of Real Life is amazing. Pick up a copy of this book for yourself and for your team.”
—Jud Wilhite, author, Stripped; senior pastor,
Central Christian Church, Las Vegas


“I have observed Jim and his ministry up close for several years. He is a great coach, pastor, and leader. This book is not theory. It is a practical playbook that has been used at Real Life to develop a winning church. Jim’s insights will help your church become more effective in impacting your community. All of your leadership team needs to read this book.”
—Don Wilson, pastor, Christ’s
Church of the Valley, Phoenix, Arizona
