Publisher's summary
Most churches merely exist.
Many churches do not develop leaders intentionally and consistently. When leaders emerge from some churches, it is often by accident. Something is missing. Something is off.
Authors Eric Geiger (author of the best-selling Simple Church and Creature of the Word) and Kevin Peck argue that churches that consistently produce leaders have strong convictions to develop leaders, healthy cultures for leadership development, and helpful constructs to systematically and intentionally build leaders. All three are essential for leaders to be formed through the ministry of a local church.
From the first recordings of history, God has made it clear that he has designed creation to be led by his covenant people. More than that, he has decided what his people are to do with that leadership. Whether you are called to lead in your home, in the marketplace, in God's church, or in your community, if you are called by God you are called to lead others to worship the glory of God in Jesus Christ.
God has designed his people to lead.

Do you want to be a better leader? Raise the threshold of your pain. Do you want your church to grow or your business to reach higher goals? Reluctance to face pain is your greatest limitation. There is no growth without change, no change without loss, and no loss without pain. Bottom line: if you're not hurting, you're not leading. But this book is not a theological treatise on pain. Rather in Leadership Pain, Samuel Chand - best-selling author recognized as "the leader's leader" - provides a concrete, practical understanding of the pain we experience.

But as best-selling author Charlene Li explains, that’s not how disruption works. Disruption doesn’t create growth; instead, growth creates disruption.

Story
Over the last 30 years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. An “attractional” model will seek to attract people to a local church. Younger leaders may advocate a more “missional” approach, in which believers live and work among unchurched people and intentionally seek to serve like Christ. While each of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship.

Many pastors struggle to translate their theological beliefs into fruitful ministry in the places they are called to reach. It’s not enough to simply know what to believe (theology), or on the other hand, how to do ministry (methodology) - they need something in between. They need help thinking about ministry in a culture that no longer believes Christianity is a force for good, let alone the source of ultimate revealed truth in the person of Christ.

In How to Lead When You're Not in Charge, author and pastor Clay Scroggins explains the nature of leadership and what's needed to be a great leader - even when you answer to someone else.

What to do when they say they’re Christian but don’t know Jesus. Whether it’s the Christmas and Easter Christians or the faithful church attenders whose hearts are cold toward the Lord, we’ve all encountered cultural Christians. They’d check the Christian box on a survey, they’re fine with church, but the truth is, they’re far from God. So how do we bring Jesus to this overlooked mission field? The Unsaved Christian equips you to confront cultural Christianity with honesty, compassion, and grace, whether you’re doing it from the pulpit or the pews.

Every follower of Jesus Christ should be able to answer two simple questions: Who is investing in me?Whom am I investing in? God desires to pour an abundance of spiritual and emotional capital into your life - directly and through older and wiser believers. And he wants to use you to pour spiritual and emotional capital into the lives of others. Along the way, you’ll be changed. Others will change. God calls this process of spiritual investing "making disciples". It’s the heart of the Great Commission.

You were never meant to know everything, fix everything, and be everywhere at once. That's his job, not yours.

Solid but not revolutionary
The principle's taught in it are grounded in scripture and very good. However I am starting to realize that it is not so much about acquiring more knowledge in leadership but actually DOING. I did struggle to get through it 1) the reading was not my favorite. He sounded rather mechanical. 2) I was already sold in the need for leadership so it took 5 chapters to finally get from the why to the how.

Good content, but way to long.
The actual content of this book is good, However, that content could have been written in 20 pages instead of over 200. The authors repeat themselves like a student trying desperately to reach a certain word count. I suspect, in this case, it may have been the publisher demanding a certain page count.

Not enough detailsi
When I bought this book I was expecting that the author was going to go into much details about leadership. However, even though there are a lot of good points the author brings out about leadership and the Christian church but the author never shows the reader how to apply his points. This book was more on a macro level versus a micro level of developing leaders . So, I am disappointed that "design to lead" did provide Application to the main points the author was making. This book is not for leaders who would like to learn how to develop new leaders.
One other thing I did not like about this book is that the author would continually bring up the same information throughout the book. The words are rephrased but it was the exact same points. I would consider this book more of a long lecture on leadership versus how to develop a good leader.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
