Is your team excited about the next big dream for your church? You are a visionary leader and your church probably has a vision statement. Yet most churches are stuck in a trap of generic communication without a truly visionary plan. Just like a visionary restaurant needs a more specific focus than “serving food,” a visionary church needs something more than biblical generalizations like “loving God, loving people” or “making disciples and serving the world.” When a team doesn’t share an understanding of God’s next big dream, leadership grows tired, overworked by an “all things to all people” ministry approach. Too often there’s no unified picture of what success looks like. People can feel uninspired and your church’s programming can seem more optional than ever. Ministry without clarity is insanity. Are you ready for a better way? In this groundbreaking work, based on Will Mancini’s 15 years and over 10,000 hours of church team facilitation, God Dreams reveals a simple and powerful planning method that will bring energy and focus to your church like never before. First, God Dreams shows how to reclaim the role of long-range vision today by providing 12 vision templates, each with biblical, historical and contemporary illustrations. These vision starters will dramatically accelerate your team's ability to find complete agreement regarding your church's future. Second, God Dreams explains how to overcome the fruitless planning efforts that many church teams experience. With a tool called the Horizon Storyline, leaders can connect short-term action steps with the long-range dream, while leveraging the power of storytelling to make the plan “stick.” This tool will galvanize a diverse team of ministry leaders and volunteers with unprecedented enthusiasm. Imagine leading with a refreshed sense of freedom and confidence, with a totally new way to inspire your church. Imagine the ability to harness the energy and resources of your people towards a specific dream of gospel impact, in your church and in your lifetime. God Dreams is your passport to leading into a better future.

God created you with unique potential and placed you on planet Earth for a specific purpose. But in the busyness of life and the activity of church, you’ve probably never identified your specific calling in a way that brings life-changing clarity. Unfortunately, most people haven’t. Like a distinct echo, the promise of life with a vision remains elusive, drowning under the demands of work, the messiness of family, and the stuff that all Christians are supposed to do. Younique exists to help you discover, even in the midst of the chaos, your divine design. Your divine design—God’s design for your life—is more knowable than you realize. You are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which he has prepared in advance, that you should walk in them. With the right tools, you can discover your life vision and align your life vocation. You can and should know your Life Younique—your God-given identity and your God-inspired dreams. Most importantly, you can discern and design the practical next steps to get there.

There are many different numbers floating around to describe the percentage of 20-somethings that are leaving the church after they graduate high school, and most of those numbers are above 60%- which means, at most, 40% of our generation is staying in the church post high school. American Christianity often sees us as lost-- the “invisible generation” that no one knows how to reach.Can that be true? Are 20-somethings really that hopelessly lost? We’re not so sure.After traveling to 23 states, visiting 32 churches, and talking to hundreds of millennials and church leaders, Heather Stevens and her team discovered five things that every 20-something is looking for in a church and every successful church is emphasizing in order to reach 20s. Rather than hearing the typical cliche answers like loud music and bright lights, or attractive preachers who wear tight pants and skinny ties, they found that the real need is much deeper than that: it’s the innate human desire to be valued. In this book you’ll not only get to experience the journey first-hand with Heather, but you’ll also have the opportunity to learn from Will Mancini as he helps you walk through what your church is doing to reach the 20-somethings.
