“It would be a challenge to speak hyperbolically about the critical need for godly, qualified, called, and equipped leaders within local churches. This is surely the leading edge of our mandate to fulfill the great commission of making disciples. The Leadership Formula helps us think biblically through the process and product of raising the next generation of men who will lead by laying down their lives for the bride of Christ. May Christ help us as local church leaders in this great and dependent work.”
