Title: The Starfish and the Spirit: Unleashing the Leadership Potential of Churches and Organizations Series: Part of Exponential Series Author: Lance Ford, Rob Wegner, Alan Hirsch Narrator: Thom Bromhead, Lance Ford, Rob Wegner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 30, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Imagine an organizational model for church leadership that enables the entire team to unleash their full potential. The joy and vigor coming from a collective strength, intelligence, and skill in the community of leaders not only brings greater potency but better yields for your ministry. What would it be like to see this kind of healthy leadership reproduced into the second, third, and fourth generation, on multiple strands? Leveraging the metaphor Ori Brafman popularized in his NYT best-selling book, The Starfish and the Spider, Rob Wegner, Lance Ford, and Alan Hirsch show: - How to take a close look at your church's organizational structure and how to adapt instead of simply adopt a certain kind of structural approach. - How churches can function without a rigid central authority, making them nimbler in reacting to external forces. - How seeding starfish networks inside today's churches will prepare the church of tomorrow to be agile while maintaining the accountability to be effective. The Starfish and the Spirit is about creating a culture where church leaders view themselves as curators of a community on a mission, not the source of certainty for every question and project. It's about creating a team of humble leaders 'in the middle' of the church, not at the top--leaders who naturally reproduce multiple generations of leaders, from the middle out.

Let love stretch you. As the founder of one of the most popular custom handbag companies in the country, Rebecca Smith knows a thing or two about business. A highly successful entrepreneur in a world where the focus is on scalability, brand strategy, and global marketing, Rebecca Smith also knows the truth: that every success she's experienced at Better Life Bags has been the result of very small, very ordinary, very obedient steps of faith. Moving from Savannah, Georgia, to Hamtramck, Michigan, was culture shock enough for Rebecca. But trying to feel at home in a city where twenty-six different languages were spoken and most of the inhabitants were immigrants seemed downright impossible. It was only when Rebecca recognized that God had called her to this specific neighborhood at this particular moment in time that his plans began to unfold for her. Stepping forward into the place God had called her - a place that seemed messy and uncomfortable and unfamiliar - Rebecca discovered the true secret to success: when we slow down, pay attention, and trust that still, small voice of God to guide us, we just might change the world. Though Rebecca never set out to build a brand or create an empire, God saw Rebecca's heart for others, and began to multiply her efforts in ways she could have never imagined, creating a company where women from different cultures, faiths, and backgrounds work together for the good of others - for a better life. As you listen to this inspiring story, you will discover how to hear and follow God's voice for yourself as you slow down, take one small step at a time, and make a difference in the world right where you are. 'Devout Christian handbag entrepreneur Rebecca Smith describes how obedient steps of faith toward God's plan brought her happiness and unexpected entrepreneurial success. Narrating with sincerity that sounds at once innocent and steadfast, she is inspiring in substance and tone--she's a humble believer whose vocal sweetness will speak to people of all spiritual persuasions.' - Audiofile Magazine

Title: You Are the Key: Turning Imperfections into Purpose Author: Caitlin Crosby Narrator: Caitlin Crosby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 57 minutes Release date: May 12, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: For anyone who feels less-than about your work, your worth, your body, or the life you're building, find here an incredible hope: you don't have to have it all together to 'qualify' for your life's calling. Just ask Caitlin Crosby, the former Hollywood talent who didn't finish college, never got an MBA, and wasn't supposed to become a CEO--yet that's exactly what she did. Caitlin's passion for people led her to launch The Giving Keys, a give-back jewelry brand with the mission of helping its employees transition out of homelessness. Each of their one million keys sold represents a person who wore it and shared it with someone else, in a unique pay-it-forward model. In You Are the Key, Caitlin opens up about her own secret 'flaw' that rocked her sense of self-worth for the better part of two decades and her private battle to believe that our scars are not sources of shame but proof of courage and prompts toward purpose. Through Caitlin's all-too-real stories, sparkling with warmth and humor, you'll find the encouragement you need to: - Be brave enough to let yourself fail - Reframe your imperfections as signposts guiding you toward your greatest purpose - Move forward from past mistakes and build something beautiful As you learn more about Caitlin and her journey, you'll learn that your own path to discovering and developing your purpose won't be a straight line. You'll fall down, and you'll get back up again. But Caitlin's story will remind you that your own imperfections can lead to your greatest purpose--and it all starts today. Praise for You Are the Key: 'I've admired Caitlin's generosity and her work with The Giving Keys for years. I'm grateful to know her story. It's a reminder to never allow fear or setbacks to keep us from stepping out into the unknown. Caitlin has shown us that it's often in quiet moments of courage that we discover the things we're passionate about and realize more of who we're meant to be.' --Joanna Gaines, cofounder of Magnolia 'Caitlin's work in bringing purpose back to the lives of so many speaks for itself. With her as your guide, you will unlock purpose, confidence, and joy beyond what you could ever imagine.' --Sarah Jakes Roberts, pastor, bestselling author, and founder of Woman Evolve 'Equal parts powerful and personable, You Are the Key tells the story of what is possible when you follow big dreams with big heart.' --Maria Shriver, journalist and New York Times bestselling author

Chasing a God You Don't Want to Catch: Looking at the Honest Questions, Doubts, and Fears Christians Have About God by Darren Wilson

Title: Chasing a God You Don't Want to Catch: Looking at the Honest Questions, Doubts, and Fears Christians Have About God Author: Darren Wilson Narrator: Lance Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 13 minutes Release date: May 12, 2020 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: We Are So Quick to Say We Want “More” of God, but Is That Really True? As strange as it may sound, the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and potentially the most feared person in Christianity may very well be God Himself. Even seasoned Christians often view God as frightening, untrustworthy, and distant. But nothing could be further from the truth. Author and filmmaker Darren Wilson takes a funny yet poignant romp through Scripture, revealing a long-time Christian’s hang-ups and fears of a God he was supposed to love. Wilson looks at questions such as: - Is God selfish, silent, distant, and constantly disappointed in you? - How do you love someone you can’t see and who has the power to punish you at any moment? - How can a loving God throw people into hell simply for not believing in Him? Wilson encourages listeners to be honest with themselves and with God. He challenges us to face the things many Christians struggle with but are too afraid to talk about because everyone else seems to have this faith thing figured out. He believes God isn’t afraid of our questions, doubts, fears, or even our anger. The secret to peace and friendship with God lies in understanding who He really is.
