About this listen
Why do some churches grow while most don't?
The mission of the Church has always been to "go and make disciples of all people." But between "going" and "making" the Church has to Connect with people. The way disciples are made has not changed in 2000 years. But how we "go" and how we "connect" with people has changed dramatically in the 21st century.
YES, of course God's blessing is vital. But there are proven, practical 21st-century tactics that are effective in reaching and connecting with people. If you do them, they work! If you do them regularly, your church will grow.
If you think just showing up and hanging an "Open for ministry" sign on the door is all it takes to reach people, think again.
Jesus gave us the command to go and make disciples. He's also given us the tools and the tactics to accomplish the mission.
With refreshing clarity and candor, this book will provide you with 28 executable action items you can do that will cause your church to grow ― GUARANTEED.

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.
