Leadership Resources

  • Practicing the Way

    Christian philosopher Dallas Willard once observed that one of the most significant issues of our time was whether people who identified as Christians would become apprentices and disciples of Jesus. One of the greatest needs for the church, he noted, was the development of a “curriculum for Christlikeness.”

    Practicing the Way is exactly that: a curriculum for Christlikeness. After years of shaping communal discipleship materials for Bridgetown Church, John Mark Comer and his team are launching a new initiative to make similar resources, free and available to all.

    Practicing the Way is a set of practices, courses, podcasts and more that walk churches and small groups into transformative experiences for formation into the image of Jesus.

  • ReBuilders Podcast

    Rebuilders is an initiative started by Red Church to help churches, leaders, and believers grapple with the issues presented by an increasingly secular society. We firmly believe God is preparing to move and is rebuilding His Church with particular building blocks to enable her to flourish in a post-Christian, secular world.

  • Failure of Nerve

    An invitation and guide for leaders “to cast a courageous and imaginative vision, to lead resiliently, and to be present and steady in times of deep anxiety.”

    Ed Friedman’s genius was to see the individual in the family in the larger group, bringing the wisdom of his experience as a therapist and rabbi to the field of organizational leadership.

    A timeless bestseller, A Failure of Nerve still astonishes in this new edition with its relevance and continues to transform the lives of leaders everywhere―business, church, family, schools―as it has for more than 20 years:

    Offers prescient guide to leadership in the age of “quick fix.”

    Provides ways to recognize and address organizational dysfunction.

    Emphasizes “strength over pathology” in these anxious times.

    “The age that is upon us requires differentiated leadership that is willing to rise above the anxiety of the masses. We need leaders who will have the ‘capacity to understand and deal effectively’ with the hive mind that is us. This is, in Friedman's words, ‘the key to the kingdom.’ I am grateful for this accessible new edition.”

  • Tim Keller // Gospel in Life

    For 28 years, Redeemer church has been recording and producing sermons and ministry materials for their congregations in New York City. In 2009, through a generous gift, we created this free resource of 250 sermons and lectures which provides one or more free sermons from every series preached at Redeemer and covers a broad array of topics. We encourage you to download these materials and share them with others.

    We hope that this will serve as a “resource” for the broader movement of the gospel in the world: both for sharing your faith with inquiring friends, neighbors and co-workers, and as a way of sharing our core principles, or gospel “DNA,” to assist in the planting and nurturing of gospel-centered churches around the world.

  • a non-anxious presence

    By Mark Sayers

    For much of recent history individuals and institutions could plan, execute, and flourish with their visions of a better world. Volatile, complex forces could be addressed and confronted with planning and management. But crisis is a great revealer. It knocks us off our thrones. It uncovers the weaknesses in our strategies and brings to light our myths and idols. Our past strategies run aground, smashed by unpredictable and chaotic waves. Yet in the midst of the chaos of a crisis comes opportunity. The history of the church tells us that crisis always precedes renewal, and the framework of renewal offers us new ways forward. A Non-Anxious Presence shows how that renewal happens and offers churches and leaders strategic ways to awaken the Church and see our culture changed for Christ.

  • Politics According to the Bible

    By Wayne Grudem, Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies

  • Reappearing Church

    What if the rise of secularism is good news for the church?

    For decades, we set our hopes on technology, politics, and the appearance of peace. We wanted to believe we were headed somewhere better—that progress was happening. But now as our technology ensnares and isolates us, our politics threaten to tear us apart, and our cultural decline continues to accelerate, people are understandably distressed.

    But throughout history these periods of decline traditionally precede powerful spiritual renewal—and even revival. What if all the bad news in this world is actually good news for the church?

    Discover why there’s reason to be wildly hopeful and how to prepare yourself and your church to be a part of renewal now and in the future.

  • Live No Lies

    By John Mark Comer

    We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies.

    The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is.

    The choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether we win or surrender.

    Ancient apprentices of Jesus developed a paradigm for this war; they spoke of the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the world. Live No Lies taps into this ancient wisdom from saints of the Way and translates the three enemies for the modern era, with all its secularism and sophistication. As a generation, we chuckle at the devil as a premodern myth, we are confused by Scripture’s teaching on the flesh in an age where sensual indulgence is a virtue not a vice, and we have little to no category for the New Testament concept of the world.

    In this provocative and practical book, bestselling author John Mark Comer combines cultural analysis with spiritual formation. He identifies the role lies play in our spiritual deformation and lays out a strategic plan to overcome them.
