Embracing the concept of one church with multiple sites, congregations share a common vision, budget, leadership, and board. Drawing from nationwide examples, this book illustrates what healthy multi-site churches look like and the motivations behind their transformation.

You’ll learn the reasons behind church successes and how they navigate common challenges. The book offers guidance, insights, specific action steps, and appendixes with practical leadership resources and self-diagnostic tools. Endorsements from prominent pastors highlight its relevance, emphasizing the authors' extensive knowledge of the movement's successes and failures. This resource is essential for any pastor or church leader looking to implement effective multi-site strategies and propel their ministry to new heights.

Jsou křesťanské církve a jejich společenství skutečně bezpečným místem pro otevřenost a důvěru? Jsou si vědomy, že lidé trpí různými bolestmi a že jejich emocionální projev může mít mnoho podob, od hněvu po popření pocitů? Je církev připravena přijímat takové lidi a pomoci jim v osobním růstu? A uvědomujeme si, že mnohdy jsme to my sami, kdo je zraněný? Autor, vycházející ze své vlastní zkušenosti, kdy se jeho svět zhroutil kvůli emocionálnímu napětí a vyčerpání, nabízí užitečné kroky k vnitřnímu uzdravení: podívat se do vlastního nitra navzdory bolesti; odhalit a odstranit negativní vlivy z minulosti; přijmout svou nedokonalost a zranitelnost; vyrovnat se se ztrátami a žalem; a porozumět Božímu vtělení jako vzoru opravdové lásky. Ježíš nás vyzývá, abychom zemřeli sami sobě, ale často jsme zemřeli špatným věcem. Mylně se domníváme, že to znamená přestat se starat o sebe, potlačit smutek, hněv a další emoce, a opustit zdravé touhy a vášeň, kterou jsme prožívali před vstupem do manželství.
