Resources Mentioned

https://lk10.com/ I just released a book called Relational Revolution: 5 Shifts for Rediscovering Church as Heart-to-Heart Connection that may prove relevant and helpful. Book description: While millions are leaving church to save their relationship with God, a relational movement fueled by joy and led by Jesus is gaining traction. This provocative and hopeful book shares the values that are transforming an ineffective and sometimes harmful Christian culture into a vibrant, spontaneous expression of God’s presence on earth. It gives hope and belonging to those seeking emotionally safe churches that form communities that overflow with joy.
