Just as many people are afraid of riding motorcycles, some church attenders are afraid of making relationships with people who live and act differently. This disconnect tends to show a judgmental attitude from the Church towards others. The Harley-Davidson story is a great example of an organization that accepts anyone who comes in the door. Outlaw Bikers, Rich Urban Bikers, and those in between are treated the same when they enter the Harley-Davidson Dealerships. Their acceptance and lack of judgement gives bikers the gift of belonging. Isn t this what the church should be about? Take this journey with us as you explore what the Church can learn from Harley Davidson. -Dave and Debbie Cole

When 65% of Churches in America are either plateaued or dying, do we just accept this stunning reality or is there something we can do about it? The answer is yes, we can do something about it. The majority of these plateaued or dying churches have resulted from an inward-focused culture that often reflects the 21 century consumer culture of our day. Inward-focused churches over time fall into mission fog. The leadership of the church is pressured to spend the majority of resources and time in meeting the members' escalating demands, thus reducing the church's ability to carry out the Great Commission that Christ called the church to. The solution to removing mission fog requires a refocusing on why we do church in the first place and a fresh look at transitioning the inward-focused culture into a life-giving outward-focused culture. This practical book will guide leaders of any size church to strategically change the church culture from status quo and survival, to outward-focused ministry and effectiveness.
