About this listen

Read by the author.

*Note: Lead Like It Matters is a completely revised and updated version of the book previously published as It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It.*

Discover the secret to igniting a life-giving, soul-transforming, people-inspiring movement in your organization, church, or ministry--and the trick to keeping the momentum going.

In Lead Like It Matters, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Craig Groeschel shares the transformative insights he's learned about how to effectively build a thriving, enduring ministry and organization.

Using the leadership skills he's mastered as the founder and senior pastor of Life.Church--one of the largest churches in the world and an organization that Glassdoor has named a #1 U.S. Best Place to Work--he combines straight talk and wry honesty with biblical and leadership principles to equip you to:

  • Recognize when your organization or ministry has the indefinable but tangible "it" that leads to success
  • Identify and implement seven leadership principles for a church that lasts
  • Ignite a fire in your team to leave behind "what we've always done" for the meaningful ministry you know is possible
  • Discover the three areas every leader must master for success

Discussion questions and accompanying visuals are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Praise for Lead Like It Matters:

"My friend Craig Groeschel is the visionary and pioneer of America's largest church. In Lead Like It Matters, he's generous enough to share the most important lessons he's learned along the way. This isn't just an insightful and interesting book; it's a game-changing guide to leading with purpose." --Steven Furtick, lead pastor, Elevation Church; New York Times bestselling author, Crash the Chatterbox, Greater, and (Un)Qualified

Wrecked.

Pastor Craig does it again. His consistency in his ability to deliver hard truths with grace and practical steps to grow astonish me. This book has been life changing and a must read/do for anyone in ministry or anyone who loves the Lord and wants to live to their fullest potential in their calling. I haven’t been able to stop talking about the stories told, lessons learned and rich wisdom that is woven throughout this book. It has wrecked me in the best way and only in the way God can. Thank you for writing a timely word and delivering it with passion. Our staff is beginning to walk through this book next month and I am already giddy with the thoughts of how God is going to move through it, and the study for years to come.

Would highly recommend

This book was excellent and heart felt. I loved how transparent Craig Groeschel was and appreciated his blatant honesty. This book inspired me in my Christianity to evaluate if I am living as if It matters. I also bought copies for the leaders in my life so they would be blessed and therefore in turn bless us by leading like It matters because it does.
Thank you Craig Groeschel for following God’s leading in writing this book. I’ve been blessed and changed more than you’ll ever know.

Incredible insights

For years, I have tried to put my finger on why certain churches or leaders were accelling and others were not. For the ones that were, it seemed to look effortless.

I was able to put together some of the factors of “it”, but never was really able to completely understand all that were differentiators.

Thank you Craig for putting it all together in this amazing book.

This is one of my new favorites. Thanks for all you do for leaders around the globe - including me.

IT doesn't get any better than this.

when leadership is on the line and eternities hang in the balance having IT makes the difference. this book cannot be read apart from finding yourself within its pages. IT will make you smile. IT will make you cry. Mostly, IT will make you long to get IT and keep IT.

Great Book For Pastors!

This book is fantastic for pastors who are looking to find “it.” The thing that helps them to grow not just their church but their relationship with Christ.

Yes yes yes!

Another great book by Craig. Even if you’re not in church leadership, I’d still recommend reading it.
