8 insights that the authors urge church leaders to read and heed: (new study from Willowcreek)
1. It is possible to measure spiritual growth.
2. Church activities do not predict or drive long-term spiritual growth.
3. Many apathetic nonbelievers who attend church are unlikely to ever accept Christ.
4. Even the most devoted Christians fall short of living out the mandates of Christ.
5. Nothing has a greater impact on spiritual growth than reflection on Scripture.
6. Spiritually stalled or dissatisfied people account for one in four church congregants.
7. There is no “killer app” for spiritual growth.
8. Leadership matters.
How will this MOVE you to BEHAVE differently as a leader? How will it MOVE you as a member of the church to think about spiritual formation?
