Bullied!: Confronting And Overcoming Six Major Obstacles To Church Effectiveness

Bullying. It's an issue that has taken on renewed emphasis in our electronically-connected, social media world. We're more aware than ever that bullying happens in many places: in the workplace, on professional sports teams, in schools and on social media. Everyone from supermodels to students and CEOs to celebrities is taking a stand against bullying in all its forms. Finding solutions to the problem has become an important part of our cultural conversation. However, there's one place in society where bullying continues unchecked, where it is rarely confronted and often covertly rewarded. The church. Pastors, staff, and church members experience bullying with alarming regularity. It does as much damage as bullying anywhere else. It's a prime reason why many churches remain ineffective, in decline or dying. Using the letter of 1st Corinthians as a guide and the church in Corinth as an example, Bullied! takes a blunt, unflinching look at six internal reasons why our churches are in trouble, and offers avenues of renewal and hope. With this resource you can help your church address what's holding it back and be part of a solution that brings new life and vitality.
