The Holy Spirit is the Hidden Mover behind all personal life transformation and ministry fruitfulness. Though we know the Bible says to walk in the Spirit, the majority of Christians are illiterate (and frankly even nervous) about how to practically live in His power. The result is lives marred by continuing brokenness and ministries plagued by fruitlessness. Jesus made the fullness of His presence in the form of the Spirit the foundation for the life He has called us to. Believers from Acts understood the ancient path of the Spirit Walk. That extraordinary power was not just for them, but for you also. Field tested around the world, Spirit Walk has helped thousands of ordinary people shift from a fundamental reliance upon methods and strategies-though important-to the essential reliance upon the Spirit who empowers these. Spirit Walk reminds us of the ancient path the Bible teaches and explains it in a practical spiritual discipline: how to S.W.A.P. your control for God's daily. Surrender to His will and His every word Wait on God in prayer Avoid sin Pursue the purpose and promptings of the Spirit Discover how to start on the journey of being filled again and again by the Spirit. But more importantly, learn how to stay full of the Spirit as you abide in Christ throughout the day, and your life. The Spirit Walk must no longer be relegated to a small subset of Christianity but must become the standard operating procedure of ordinary believers again. The Spirit of Jesus is the key to all breakthroughs. Take the journey into the ancient path.

These compelling stories offer a detailed look at a part of the country many Americans only glimpse through an airplane window from 30,000 feet—the small towns of the rural Midwest. The characters here—struggling to raise children and build a better future, or just to escape their past; searching for connection on social media and longing for the glory days of youth, even as they put on pounds and lose hair; good citizens, and criminal—populate a landscape of emotional peaks and valleys far more varied and interesting than the flat physical terrain they inhabit. They are the people we’ve left behind when we moved to the city, or the people we’ve become. They are us.

Pastors and church leaders, find out what is at the root of your church being stuck or experiencing plateaued growth. Contains an easy to use evaluation tool which rapidly analyzes your Five Critical ministry Systems-Spiritual Life, Vision, Evangelizing, Discipling and Leadership Training- that are the life indicators of a congregation. The instant results are based not on how you or others feel, but on actual facts. It will give you a picture of how healthy these systems are and help you to determine what are the next steps to move your church into new growth. Churches get stuck for a number of reasons: They stop seeing the lost. They invest in great programs that change nothing about their gospel impact on the community. They lose the urgency of the mission and become inwardly-focused. They retreat to preserving the past and remember the glory years. They seem to be on a never-ending plateau of nongrowth. You may finish the evaluation and find that your church's system markers are pretty healthy. The bonus material included helps you to explore why-although it may be healthy-your congregation still has not grown significantly.
