Faith in the Marketplace

Evangelism & Missions

“For too long church leaders have focused their energies on making disciples of Jesus Christ during the few hours each week that everyday Christians engage in ‘church-related’ activities. Instead, Samuel Lee provides a bold foundation for church leaders to consider how we engage the time and energy that is dedicated to the ‘marketplace.’ This paradigm shift is a tremendous opportunity for church leaders and Samuel Lee sets us on the right course.”

Joining Jesus

Evangelism & Missions

“I’m convinced that today we need two foundational pillars that will enable everyday churches to make the turn toward the new era of mission that we find ourselves in. First, we need more stories. Second, we need deep stories, those that go in depth into the life and practice of the congregation. Joining Jesus is a collection of deep stories, ones that not only inspire but also inform churches across North America.”
