God at Work: The Rise and Fall of Movements, with Steve Addison – EM261

When looking at history, it seems like church movements have a cycle of rising and falling. Steve Addison joins the show to talk about his new book called The Rise and Fall of Movements and how God works in that cycle. He speaks on how believers who value the Great Commission can keep their eyes on Jesus, His word, Spirit, and mission.As some ministries reach a place of decline, we can remember that God is always raising up new movements. He keeps working to draw us back to Him. The important thing is for us to seek God and walk in obedience to Him.Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2IudTCQ (affiliate)What We Talked About00:23 - Show updates01:21 - Thanks to our sponsors: Megavoice02:25 - Introduction02:54 - Why this book and why now?03:51 - Who is this book for?04:42 - Ministries and movements06:26 - An overview of the stages of movements08:51 - What stage is the most concerning?11:12 - Renewal is always uncomfortable13:54 - How can we best prepare for submission?16:42 - Encouraging reflections on movements19:50 - Examples of word, Spirit, and mission22:49 - Looking at the Church around the world25:23 - How has the process changed you?27:13 - Thoughts for those in ministry28:22 - Where can people get the book?28:50 - How can we best pray for you?30:01 - Closing thoughtsResources & Contact InfoThe Rise and Fall of Movements: A Roadmap for Leaders (affiliate)Movements.netShow LinksFacebook: @engagingmissionsMessenger: @engagingmissionsTwitter: @engagingmissionLeave a VoicemailBecome a PatronListen for FreeDisclosure of Material Connection: Some of the links in the post above are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission.
