Walking with Jesus, Rooted in Scripture, Growing in Leadership

Resources for You
Growing Together
We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop relationships that help us grow in the Christian life. Spiritual mentoring offers a way for younger believers and more mature Christians to grow together through intentional discipleship and accountability. If you’re looking for a place to start, Melissa Kruger presents a guide for discipleship conversations that span a variety of topics for spiritual growth. Each lesson encourages both mentor and mentee to focus on the hope of the gospel as they learn together from the truth of God’s word.

Sighing on Sunday
Neglect. Rejection. Sin. Conflict. Change. It’s difficult to go to church when you’ve suffered some of your deepest hurts there.
​
Megan Hill understands that church can be hard. In forty thoughtful meditations, she lays out reliable biblical truths for your encouragement and healing. You’ll explore the source of your struggle, find ways to express your sorrow, and consider wise actions to take. Others have struggled as well—and found hope. There’s hope for you too.

Dwell Differently
​What if you had God's words with you all the time? Not just on your phone, but deep in your soul and on the tip of your tongue? It may sound daunting, or even impossible.
Knowing how hard Scripture memorization can be, Dwell Differently founders Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz created a simple, creative, and smart way to memorize Scripture and keep God's promises in your heart. Natalie and Vera not only reveal the importance of having a mind built on God's Word, they actually give you the tools necessary to defeat negative thoughts. In doing so, they help you:
· fight lies with truth
· replace fear with peace
· focus your heart on what really matters
In a world filled with negative voices competing for our attention, just one word from God is more powerful than any other. It's time to store up a wealth of them.

You are a Theologian
Theology can be intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. Whether conversations about theology have felt out of reach, over your head, or irrelevant, consider this book an invitation to the dialogue.
The goal of theology is knowing and loving God well. This is a lifelong endeavor, a never-ending pursuit, not for the sake of knowledge, but for an ever-deepening relationship with God Himself. Authors Jen Wilkin and J. T. English invite you to become not merely a consumer of theology, but a contributor to the conversation, and to grow in faithfulness to the Great Commission’s call to make disciples.

Sticking Points
Haydn Shaw, popular business speaker and generational expert, has identified 12 places where the 5 generations typically come apart in the workplace (and in life as well).
​
If we don’t learn to work together and stick together around these 12 sticking points, then we’ll be wasting a lot of time fighting each other instead of enjoying a friendly and productive team.
Sticking Points is a must-read book with insights that will help you understand the generational differences you encounter. It also teaches us how we can learn to speak one another’s language, engage with different generational personalities, and get better results together.

Ministry to Women
Women’s Ministry is dynamic and complex in our local church today. As pastors and women’s ministry leaders seek to lead well and adapt to changing times, it can be tough to know where to turn. Ministry to Women: The Essential Guide for Leading in the Local Church is, as the title intimates, a comprehensive guide to women’s ministry in the local church.
​
This resource provides a solid theological framework that will serve as a foundation for practical ministry. Covering various topics including discipleship, events, mentorship, communication, and crisis, this resource will challenge your status quo in women’s ministry and platform your day-to-day administration as you lead women to walk more closely with Christ and serve Him in the local church.
