{"product_id":"how-to-break-growth-barriers","title":"How to Break Growth Barriers","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome churches grow rapidly, only to hit a ceiling. Other churches have experienced declining or static attendance--many of them for decades. Frustrated pastors and church leaders want growth methods that work, but without adding to pastoral fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow to Break Growth Barriers argues that growth comes when effective leadership and lay-empowerment skills work hand in hand. This requires a shift of focus from the shepherd as the primary caregiver to shepherd as developer and coach of many caregivers. The authors show pastors how to communicate a vision for the future and then how to lead the congregation into the paradigms necessary for potentially limitless growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strategies found in this book are not only tried and true, and taken from a biblical perspective of a \"harvest\" vision. They're also newly updated to reflect our changing culture, including helpful charts and checklists for self-evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carl F.
