Deep Mentoring

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Sometimes we can't see because what we're looking for is too obvious. Sometimes we can't see because we're moving too rapidly past what we need. Sometimes we don't see because we settle for something less too quickly. Deep Mentoring opens the door to a centuries-deep practice of apprenticeship in Jesus' way of forming leaders. Reese and Loane invite us to linger at that table of formation which begins with the practice of learning to pay attention to the presence of God in everything. Let's face it: we need help for holy seeing and sacred listening. Deep Mentoring gives us that help.”

From the Inside Out

Evangelism & Missions

“Ryan Kuja has created a tool that is both field guide and textbook for missional practitioners by using tools of hermeneutics, cultural and social analysis, history, and personal experience “in the field.” Hermeneutics gives us first century field-tested experience from the great mission strategist and apostle, Paul; history gives us warnings of unintended harm imposed on receiving cultures as practitioners bring their own “Main Street” to cultures where streets may not even be paved; cultural analysis gives tools where listening comes first and proclamation is embodied in humility; and Ryan’s personal experience brings a passionate missioner whose desire to faithfully serve the missio Dei has been tried, tested, and tempered by listening well to biblical text, cultural setting, and the unfolding story of his own pilgrimage of fierce faith. This is not a heavy academic tome with which you will argue but an invitation to listen deeply and well in the pursuit of your own faithful practice of mission.”

The Heart of Racial Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In a time when we are surrounded by social cynicism toward issues of race, The Heart of Racial Justice welcomes us back to the table of redemptive love and community. It is not set with easy answers but with honest and passionate conversation about the irrefutable reconciling nature of the gospel. We are drawn to this table because the authors embody in their own lives the very nature of the reconciliation which they envision. They are wise teachers more than harsh prophets, lovingmentors more than judgmental critics, and experienced guides more than sermonizing spectators. They dare to believe there is hope at this table, and we leave nurtured with provisions to join the movement for reconciliation.”
