Weakness: The Platform for Power Pt. 1

In 'Emotionally Healthy Discipleship,' Peter Scazzero addresses the discipleship crisis in the global church by providing a methods-based biblical theology. The book highlights the failures of traditional discipleship strategies that only address surface issues and do not delve into the emotional health of individuals. Scazzero outlines seven marks of healthy discipleship, including 'Be Before You Do,' 'Follow the Crucified, Not the Americanized Jesus,' 'Embrace God’s Gift of Limits,' and others. The book emphasizes slowing down to cultivate a deep relationship with Jesus, challenging Western cultural values, integrating sadness and vulnerability, and measuring spiritual maturity by the ability to love others. It includes assessments and practical strategies for leaders to implement in various aspects of church life, such as leadership, marriage and single ministry, small groups, and outreach.

This book offers a new perspective on leadership development, emphasizing the importance of emotional health. It provides insights and strategies for leaders to better understand themselves and their interactions with others, thereby enhancing their leadership skills and effectiveness.
