Has your church leadership come to a crossroads in how ministries are managed?  Perhaps the Christian church ministry leadership in many churches is in need of some new ways to change as they grow.  Perhaps the church has grown faster than anyone expected, and now you’re in need of a radical new way of doing things.  If this sounds like your church, then the book “Radical Together” may be a great choice in reading material.

Published by NavPress, Radical Together has helped many churches go from being radical believers in Jesus Christ to radical faith communities; a claim that has catapulted the book to the New York Times’ best seller list.  The goal of author David Plat is to ask Christians to “take back their faith” from what he often refers to as the American Dream.  In this case, the American dream is not really about houses and cars and money, but rather about our natural tendency to believe we have to earn what we get.  However, it doesn’t work that way in the house of God.

A recent article published on DailyChristianAdvice.com (“A Radical New Book on Christian Church Ministry Leadership”) explains it like this:  “This landmark book successfully communicates some of the more “radical” teachings of Jesus Christ… that we should walk entirely by faith and not try to earn our way into His favor.”  In other words, rather than looking at their Christian church ministry leadership and asking why God is working so mightily in their lives, church members are reminded that they don’t have to work harder to earn God’s grace.  This book is written to help the entire church exercise the same level of faith, exhibit the same discipleship of others, and make a serious impact on their surrounding community.

Dr. Plat uses six foundational concepts to fuel a more radical form of obedience to Jesus Christ by the entire church congregation, but this can only happen by challenging the Christian church ministry leadership.  Growing churches need to make positive changes in the way they inspire a group of believers, and Radical Together gives them the tools to do so.  It aims to influence leaders with an inspiring collection of stories from the Bible, as well as real-life examples from churches around the world.  By looking squarely at Christ’s commands and approaching them with fresh eyes, Christian church ministry leadership is encouraged to take a step of faith together.
