Revive: Leading Change - Igniting Movement - Paperback

by Jim Jr. Strecker (Author)

"REVIVE: Leading Change - Igniting Movement" addresses the need for revitalization in the church, viewing the church as a dynamic movement rather than a static institution. Now is the time to reimagine the church's role in a changing world. Dr. Strecker provides a framework emphasizing mission and mobilization for leading change. REVIVE introduces three key domains: connecting with God and His mission, connecting with others in a community of missional encouragement, and living sent together on God's mission;
helping churches become the missional movements God intends them to be.

REVIVE advocates for a shift in leadership styles, introducing Shepherding Leadership as a model reframing the role of the leader. Shepherding leadership offers a unique take on servant leadership, focusing on empowering and organizing people to fulfill a collective purpose, rather than traditional leadership roles. Shepherding Leadership calls Christians to lead with purpose, process, and principles as a means of coaching people's calling and caring, connecting individual passions with God's mission.

REVIVE ultimately seeks to equip church leaders, offering practical strategies to foster a culture of movement within their congregations. Dr. Strecker advocates shifting our focus from internal metrics to external mission and community engagement to increase the effectiveness of mobilizing churches and individuals for their role in Jesus' kingdom purpose.
