Product Description You've probably noticed ... Churches aren't growing. Young adults are walking away. Volunteers are hard to recruit. Leaders are burning out. And the culture is changing faster than ever before. There's no doubt the church is in a moment in history for which few church leaders are prepared. You can look for answers, but the right response depends on having the right conversation. In Lasting Impact, Carey Nieuwhof leads you and your team through seven conversations that will help your church grow and have a lasting impact. What if ... Having the right conversations could change your trajectory? There was more hope than you realized? The potential to grow was greater than the potential to decline? Your community was waiting for a church to offer the hope they're looking for? Your best days as a church were ahead of you? Maybe the future belongs to the churches that are willing to have the most honest conversations at a critical time. That's what Lasting Impact is designed to facilitate. Review Praise for Lasting Impact "'Growth' is a word that church leaders are constantly rallying around and trying to do more of. In Carey Nieuwhof's new book, Lasting Impact, growth is the theme throughout. "Carey is someone that is constantly looking for ways to make things better and is gifted with the art of strategy. The research he talks about in his book forces us to look at the problems our churches are facing while simultaneously offering solutions so our churches can continue to grow. "His practical wisdom will provide you and your leadership team with clarity to tackle the shifts that need to take place and the focus to see it through. The questions to ask yourself and your team at the end of every chapter are straightforward and thought provoking. "I love Carey's heart and passion for the local church. He believes and understands that growth in churches isn't for the sake of popularity but for the sake of the Gospel. We know that Jesus is the greatest thing in the world and we'll do anything short of sin to see people come to know Him personally as their Savior. "Throughout the book, Carey gives us permission to think big, reminds us to ask God boldly, and challenges us to believe that the best really is yet to come. "I promise reading this book will get your heart excited about what Jesus is going to do in and through you and your church and get your mind ready to embrace the changes necessary for growth."

At the same time, church growth is personal for leaders, and that can be dangerous. When attendance is up, you feel good about yourself. When attendance is down, you think about going into another line of work. This is one of the many reasons I'm grateful Carey has written his book, Lasting Impact. It's practical advice for leaders who want to grow their church and remain emotionally healthy in the process." -- Jeff Henderson, Lead Pastor, Gwinnett Church "Carey is not only one of the most prolific thinkers of this generation, but one of the most practical. Lasting Impact is insightful and in a league of its own when it comes to applicability. This book gives you the tools you need to make changes now! Regardless of the size of your church or team you lead, if you're wanting to reach higher heights, this book is a must read."Joshua Gagnon, Lead Pastor, Next Level Church "Carey Nieuwhof is a voice you should listen to.
