Featuring: Failing Boldly

Few people would consider failure to be a gift from God.

If you are trying to energize and grow a ministry, however, embracing the lessons and, yes, the ‘gifts’ of failure may be the best way to maintain a dynamic and encouraging place for people to seek the heart of God. Through personal stories of his own missteps and mistakes as the co-founder of Urban Village Church—as well as those of others working to plant and grow ministries—Christian Coon shows how failure is a springboard to new experiences and, hopefully, a deeper connection to God and what it means to be a leader in the church.
