About Leading from the Middle

Leading From The Middle is different. Most leadership books focus on HOW you lead, your character, and the way you navigate your church’s or organization’s culture.  Instead of HOW you lead, this book is about the PLACE from which you lead. The Middle is the primary place from which Jesus lead and it was His leadership from the Middle that launched a movement called the Church.

It was from the Middle that Jesus…

Delivered the Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5-7
Spoke the New Commandment - John 13
Explained the work of the Holy Spirit - John 13,14 and 16
Called his disciples - Matthew 4
Talked about Vines and Branches  - John 15
Explained Parables - Matthew 13
Taught the Disciples to pray - Luke 11
Washed Feet - John 13
Broke Bread - Luke 22
Announced the New Covenant - Matthew 26
Gave the Great Commission - Matthew 28
Restored Peter - John 21

Today, the Middle, is a forgotten place of leadership.  It is also the most fruit-bearing place of leadership within the church.  I am praying for every person who reads this book, that they bear fruit, and that their fruit remains.  (Also spoken by Jesus while leading from the Middle.)

There are countless leadership resources and you have many options. I am humbled and grateful to you for your choice to read, Leading From The Middle. I pray that the fruit of your reading it becomes a springboard for your next ministry season.
