It's time to leave the leadership obsession behind. It's never been about leading.
“Leadership” has become a runaway obsession for those who are called to equip the body of Christ for service in the Kingdom of God. The concept of “followership” is all but lost in the wake of this leadership fetish, a near hypnotic obsession. Jesus’ clear call, and the pattern of New Testament leadership, are actually found in a pattern of followership. We’ve been told otherwise but when it comes to a movement in our churches, our families, or the workplace, everything rises or falls on followership.
Sweet proposes an intentional shift from leadership cults to followership cultures. He critiques the issue of leadership obsession but focuses on reigniting a passion for the ""follow me"" theme found throughout the gospels and the entire New Testament. Building on a set of metaphors/images, he stirs the imagination by showing what it means to be a follower of Christ and explains the vital cog that followership and the first follower play in helping others enter into the Kingdom of God.
I Am A Follower moves readers:
from leaders that are over to followers that are among
from sages and gurus to scouts and guides
from Saul's armor to David's sling
from having the right answers to asking the right questions
from architects to gardeners
Since the release of Halftime in 1994, more than 150,000 people have purchased the book and begun a journey from success to significance. In a way that no one could have predicted, this book has started a widespread movement that views midlife as an opportunity rather than a crisis. It helped men and women between the ages of 35-50 realize that they have at least another thirty years of active, vibrant living ahead of them and that retirement is not the optimal option.
But now, readers feel stuck. More than eighty percent of people who began the journey got sidetracked. Now they want to know how to get 'unstuck.' Stuck in Halftime is written for the person who is trying to successfully make it through the midlife journey of 'half time.' It shows readers how to get past the barriers that stand in the way. It outlines eight 'myths of half time' that distract people trying to move from success to significance. It also explains the new rules of this journey, since the old rules of the first half do not work anymore. And it uses stories of those who were stuck in a similar way to illustrate ways to become unstuck. This book is of enormous help to those who heard the 'still, small voice of God' calling them to a life of significance. It is a book of encouragement, hope, and practical guidance.
Getting a Christian worldview is all the rage these days. But how about a Christian worldlife? Got one of those?
