Millennials & the Future of Faith

The data is undeniable—millennials are the least religious generation in U.S. history. Believe it or not, this could be great news for the church. Skye looks at the research surrounding millennials and faith to unpack why existing church structures and approaches are struggling to engage young adults. He offers surprising, and hopeful ideas for leaders more committed to God’s mission than maintaining institutions.

But Now I See

Christians in the U.S. are the richest, most resourced followers of Jesus in history, and thousands of ministries are striving to help people follow Jesus’ teachings. So why isn’t it working? Skye unpacks what many modern Christians are missing—how we act in the world depends on how we see the world. This powerful message will challenge many of your assumptions about faith, fear, and what freedom in Christ really means.

Redeeming Work

Does God really care what you do Monday through Saturday? Many of us live with a sacred-secular divide that assume God values “religious” activities and is indifferent toward our ordinary work. Skye obliterates this view by reconstructing a historic and biblical theology of vocation. You’ll discover why all work matters to God and how we lost sight of this vital part of our lives and faith.

Redefining “Radical”

The only thing I fear is living an insignificant life.” That’s what a well know Christian leader said to 60,000 young adults. Unfortunately, the way our culture and the church defines significance lays heavy burdens on people and, ironically, robs significance from them. In this life-giving message, Skye explores one Jesus’ most famous parables to unlock the surprising answer to the question, “What is a ‘radical’ life?” and how it is available to anyone, anywhere.

Spiritual Leadership Todayby Skye Jethani

Spiritual Leadership Today

by Skye Jethani

If you are in a position of positive influence, if you exercise leadership in any way, your faith in God gives you a power--a hidden power--that will allow you to make an enduring difference in the lives of other people and organizations. But how does that power work?

So says Mel Lawrenz in this fresh look at leadership which offers practical and biblical guidance to believers who want to have a deep influence and who want to know: What is the proper use of authority and power? Where do good ideas come from? How can we deal with failure? What does God expect of us?

Drawing from more than thirty years of experience in pastoral ministry, Lawrenz writes for Christians in any position of influence. This book provides a new baseline for 21st century Christian leadership, addressing issues such as:

- building integrity

- seizing opportunities

- exploring new horizons

- speaking into crises

- receiving power

- accepting authority

- promoting truth

- managing expectations

- dealing with criticism

Using real-life examples, key Scripture passages, and history, Lawrenz shows that when believers align their responsibility to lead with the teaching of Jesus and the work of God's Spirit, their spiritual influence will have integrity and enduring effectiveness.

Lawrenz gives us hope that the leadership pendulum which has swung from 'over- spiritualized' to 'de-spiritualized' in recent generations may have finally come to rest where it always belonged--upon Jesus Christ. - Skye Jethani, Senior Editor, Leadership Journal, from the foreword

It is exciting to think about believers at every level of society rising to a new call to exercise powerful spiritual influence. In his newest book Mel Lawrenz has given us all a new baseline for leadership that is personal, wise, and spiritual. It spans the generations and reaches across cultures. Just think what will happen if believers in positions of influence tie into the wisdom and the power that comes from God in order to bring restoration in our broken world!" - Mark Batterson, Lead Pastor, National Community Church in Washington, D.C.

Futureville: Discover Your Purpose for Today by Reimagining Tomorrowby Skye Jethani

Futureville: Discover Your Purpose for Today by Reimagining Tomorrow

by Skye Jethani

Want to see the future? It is brighter than you think.

What we believe about tomorrow determines how we live today. As Christians debate how to faithfully engage with our rapidly changing world, our vision of the future has never been more important.

But rather than providing a clear sense of purpose for our lives, popular Christian ideas about the future steal it from us by saying our work in the world, apart from ministry, has no eternal value. Is it any wonder why young adults are less interested in church, or why a culture desperate for meaning and hope dismisses our message?

In Futureville, Skye Jethani offers us a vision-shifting glimpse of the world of tomorrow described in Scripture. He reveals how a biblical vision of the future can transform every person’s work with a sense of purpose and dignity today.

Futureville is a smart, inspiring call to cultivate the order, beauty, and abundance that reflects the heart and vision of God for our world.
