Emotionally Healthy Discipleship

Moving from Shallow Christianity to Deep Transformation

By: Peter Scazzero

Narrated by: Peter Scazzero

The global church is facing a discipleship crisis. Here's how we move forward into transformative discipleship...

Pastors and church leaders want to see lives changed by the gospel. They work tirelessly to care for people, initiate new ministries, preach creatively, and keep up with trends. Sadly, much of this effort does not result in deeply changed disciples.

Traditional discipleship strategies fail because they only address surface issues and do not go deep enough into the emotional health of individuals.

But transformative, emotionally healthy discipleship is a methods-based biblical theology that, when fully implemented, informs every area of a church, ministry, or organization. It is a discipleship structure built from the center that:

• Slows down our lives so we can cultivate a deep, personal relationship with Jesus.
• Challenges the values of Western culture that have compromised the radical call to follow the crucified Jesus.
• Integrates sadness, loss, and vulnerability, that, when left out, leave people defensive and easily triggered.
• Acknowledges God's gift of limits in our lives.
• Connects how our family and personal history influence our discipleship in the present.
• Measures our spiritual maturity by how we are growing in our ability to love others.

In Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, bestselling author Pete Scazzero takes leaders step-by-step through how to create an emotionally healthy culture and multiply deeply-changed people in every aspect of church life, including:

• Leadership and team development
• Marriage and single ministry
• Small groups and youth and children's ministry
• Preaching, worship, and administration
• Outreach

Complete with assessments and practical strategies, Emotionally Healthy Discipleship will help you move people to the beneath-the-surface discipleship that actually has the power to change the world.

**Graphics, assessments, and appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

The title says it all!

I loved listening to this book. It has given me some real tools and proven activities to live a better and more emotionally healthy life with Christ at the center. Vulnerability and humility are the ways that Jesus reached His disciples and that is the way that we can make deeper connections to God and the people around us.

A great follow up to earlier books

This latest book in the Emotionally Healthy series displayed the author's own growth and maturity. The incorporation of church history and Christian spirituality have been refreshing additions in his last two books.

I loved it

Being emotionally health = increased spiritual possibilities and connectedness.

I enjoyed the history lesson and how he connected his claims to scripture. Actually a lot of this relates to skills taught by therapist
