Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostolic Entrepreneur You are not unspiritual; it could be that you are called to business. The apostolic calling can include a call to business. Like an entrepreneur, the apostle is someone who can start new things and do things that no one else has done. The apostle can be an entrepreneur to the world and do many great things for God. This is a whole new level that God is taking His apostles to and it will change the way that the church operates. Ministry vs Business There is a training you will go through to become a business apostle. The training will be different but just as in the ministry there will be a price to pay. This is not a natural gift that you have for business. It is a God-given anointing for business. The business apostle will have to think differently, but he or she is still an apostle of God and has a calling to fulfil. Has God called you to this area of ministry? Then in this teaching you will the find the answers you have been looking for. Now you can rise up and take this world for Christ through business. Subjects Covered in This Series: 01 - The Roads of Ministry and Business 02 - The Preparation of an Entrepreneur 03 - The Training of an Entrepreneur 04 - The Business Anointing 05 - The Fivefold Entrepreneur 06 - Sevenfold Apostolic Leadership 07 - Cost of the Apostolic Calling Are you ready to Find Your Fivefold Business Calling and become an Apostolic Entrepreneur?

Book excerpt: The Apostolic Calling Expanded The Apostolic Calling is the definitive teaching by Apostle Les on the call to the Apostolic Office. In this New Expanded Edition, you will find extra teaching by Les as well as some teaching from Apostle Nadine Stohler. There are 11 new chapters that were not in the 1st edition. Are You Called To Be An Apostle? Today many are claiming to be apostles, and there is a lot of confusion on exactly what the Apostolic Calling is. Apostle Les D. Crause will teach you exactly what the Apostle is called to do, and how to identify the Apostolic Call in your life. There is a Price to Pay The call to Apostle is one of the highest Ministry offices that God can call you to. Very often the Lord starts to prepare you from a young age, and can take years before you are prepared to flow in it.This is not a call to be taken lightly. If God has called you to this ministry, you will go through much training in every area of ministry, and you will face death. God has been raising up His Apostles in these end times and they have begun to shake the church and the world. If you want to be a part of this move of God, then you will have to pay a price, because there is always a price. Jump In And Get Started If you desire to see the church rise up; if you want to change the way the church is run and build a new foundation; and if you want to set God's people in the place that they should be, then it could be that God has called you to be one of his apostles.

Book excerpt: A compelling case for an entrepreneurial approach to ministry and mission, exploring its biblical basis and potential benefits. Based on extensive interviews with entrepreneurial ministers from a range of denominations. Draws on examples of 'entrepreneurs' from the Bible and Christian history to help readers imagine how such an approach could work in their own context. Addresses the problems some have with the word 'entrepreneur' and sets out a positive and informed alternative understanding. Full of informative and inspiring case-studies of entrepreneurial ministry in action. Building on his own experiences as a priest and an entrepreneur, Volland argues that the concept of entrepreneurship offers churches a helpful lens through which to view Christian ministry and mission, and an understanding and approach to ministry that is well fitted for the mission task in a rapidly changing world. He shows how an entrepreneurial approach is consistent with understandings of leadership in the major denominations and in the new churches. He also argues that such an approach is consistent both with the nature of God and with human collaboration with God's activity in the world. His conclusions are based on extensive interviews with entrepreneurial ministers (Justin Welby and Steven Croft were among the interviewees), and his findings result in practical suggestions for those seeking to be more entrepreneurial in their ministries as well as in recommendations for strategic change that will encourage sustainable church growth and vitality in the years ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Jesus's birth, angels rejoiced, singing, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men" (Luke 2:14). Satan, on the other hand, trembled, for he suspected the reason for Jesus's arrival. He came to destroy the devil's work (1 John 3:8). When humanity crucified God's Son, Satan believed the turn of events tipped in his favor. So, he thought. The Forensic Case for Fivefold Leadership reveals how the Lord has gifted his people with supernatural tools "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature" (Eph. 4:12-13 NIV).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, Moses had had enough. Exhausted by the challenge of leading the Israelites from slavery to the Promised Land, Moses cried out to God, "What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? . . . If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me" (Exodus 11:11, 15). If that sounds hauntingly familiar to you, you may be the senior pastor of a contemporary church. The burden of Christian leadership is becoming increasingly unbearable--demanding skills not native to the art of pastoring; demanding time that makes sabbath rest and even normal sleep patterns seem extravagant; demanding inhuman levels of efficiency, proficiency and even saintliness. No wonder pastors seem and even feel less human these days. No wonder they burn out or break down at an alarming rate; no wonder the church is missing the mark on its mission. In Creating a Missional Culture, JR Woodward offers a bold and surprisingly refreshing model for churches--not small adjustments around the periphery of a church's infrastructure but a radical revisioning of how a church ought to look, from its leadership structure to its mobilization of the laity. The end result looks surprisingly like the church that Jesus created and the apostles cultivated: a church not chasing the wind but rather going into the world and making disciples of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abandon dead, dry, religious rule-keeping and embrace the promise of being truly known and deeply loved. Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation with a passionate, provocative poem titled "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus." The 4-minute video became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). Bethke's message clearly struck a chord with believers and nonbelievers alike, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged. In his New York Times bestseller Jesus > Religion, Bethke unpacks similar contrasts that he drew in the poem--highlighting the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair, and hope. With refreshing candor, he delves into the motivation behind his message, beginning with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior. Along the way, Bethke gives you the tools you need to: Humbly and prayerfully open your mind Understand Jesus for all that he is View the church from a brand-new perspective Bethke is quick to acknowledge that he's not a pastor or theologian, but simply an ordinary, twenty-something who cried out for a life greater than the one for which he had settled. On this journey, Bethke discovered the real Jesus, who beckoned him with love beyond the props of false religion. Praise for Jesus > Religion: "Jeff's book will make you stop and listen to a voice in your heart that may have been drowned out by the noise of religion. Listen to that voice, then follow it--right to the feet of Jesus." --Bob Goff, author of New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody, Always "The book you hold in your hands is Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz meets C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity meets Augustine's Confessions. This book is going to awaken an entire generation to Jesus and His grace." --Derwin L. Gray, lead pastor of Transformation Church, author of Limitless Life: Breaking Free from the Labels That Hold You Back

Book excerpt: How the Church can recover her original, apostolic ways and become a high-impact Jesus movement again in the West. The church is on the verge of massive, category shifting, change. Contemporary church growth, despite its many blessings, has failed to stem the decline of Christianity in the West, and we are now facing the fact that more of the same will not produce different results. We are already seeing this new form of the church emerge in our day—an apostolic, reproducing Movement that's driven by a desire to see Biblical Christianity reestablished. Alan Hirsch and Dave Ferguson call this the "apostolic movement" because it's more resonant with the form of church that we witness in the New Testament and in the great missional movements of history. And we are on the verge of a new apostolic movement... In this book, Christian thought-leaders Hirsch and Ferguson share a rich array of theology, theory, and best practices, along with inspiring stories about leaders who have rightly diagnosed their churches' failure to embrace a biblical model of mission and have moved toward a fuller expression of the gospel. On the Verge will help church leaders: Imagine the contemporary Church from the apostolic perspective—how we got from there to here. Shift our mindset from technique (how to "do church") to embodiment (how to live as Christ's Church) Learn how to value, approach, and understand innovation. Move whole-heartedly toward the apostolic, missional movement. Many of the best and brightest leaders in the contemporary church are now making shifts in the way they think, lead, and organize. On the Verge will help church leaders discover how these forerunners and their insights are launching a new apostolic movement?and how any church can get involved.
