Inside the Sept/Oct Issue
The Leadership Issue
In his new book, Deep and Wide: Creating Churches Unchurched People Love to Attend, Andy Stanley explores what it means for a church to be both missional and attractional—following, he insists, the pattern of Christ Himself. On the occasion of the book’s release, Outreach magazine spoke with the author and pastor on a wide range of topics related to his own journey and his vision for the church.
Also in this issue, a dozen leaders discuss their approach to 12 challenges facing the church, Dan Reiland underscores five essentials of leadership development and Ryan Meeks reveals a successful, church-tested path for creating committed volunteers.
