Summary

Read by the author.

*Lead Like It Matters is a completely revised and updated version of the book previously published as It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It.*

Discover the secret to igniting a life-giving, soul-transforming, people-inspiring movement in your organization, church, or ministry.

New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel is the founding and senior pastor of Life.Church, an innovative multisite church known around the world and an organization that Glassdoor has named a #1 U.S. Best Place to Work. But it didn't happen by accident. In 1996, a handful of congregants worshipped together in a two-car garage. Today, the church welcomes tens of thousands of attendees in multiple states across the country and globally at Life.Church Online.

Lead Like It Matters presents Groeschel's transformative insights on how to effectively build a thriving, enduring ministry and organization. Using his skills as a top leader, he combines straight-talk and wry honesty with biblical and leadership principles to equip you with the tools to:

  • Recognize when your organization or ministry has the indefinable but tangible "it" that leads to success
  • Identify and implement seven leadership principles for a church that lasts
  • Ignite a fire in your team to leave behind "what we've always done" for the meaningful ministry you know is possible
  • Discover the three areas every leader must master for success

Lead Like It Matters reveals the secret for building ministry momentum and then keeping it going.

Discussion questions and accompanying visuals are included in the audiobook companion PDF download. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Prepare to be challenged

This is not a book to read if you're not willing to be challenged to reflect and ask God to change you.

Craig always writes books that stir my heart and leave me wanting more of God. This one is no different.

Empowered!

It's empowered me to lead directly. Excuse is not an option but a gateway to lead like it truly matters.
Thanks Craig for all the advice.

Great book

I love Greg Groeschel and all their work that they do. This has been a great help in my ministry and also my personal walk with God. I can honestly say that I’ve got it back and I’m not letting it go.

Would highly recommend

This book was excellent and heart felt. I loved how transparent Craig Groeschel was and appreciated his blatant honesty. This book inspired me in my Christianity to evaluate if I am living as if It matters. I also bought copies for the leaders in my life so they would be blessed and therefore in turn bless us by leading like It matters because it does.
Thank you Craig Groeschel for following God’s leading in writing this book. I’ve been blessed and changed more than you’ll ever know.

Wrecked.

Pastor Craig does it again. His consistency in his ability to deliver hard truths with grace and practical steps to grow astonish me. This book has been life changing and a must read/do for anyone in ministry or anyone who loves the Lord and wants to live to their fullest potential in their calling. I haven’t been able to stop talking about the stories told, lessons learned and rich wisdom that is woven throughout this book. It has wrecked me in the best way and only in the way God can. Thank you for writing a timely word and delivering it with passion. Our staff is beginning to walk through this book next month and I am already giddy with the thoughts of how God is going to move through it, and the study for years to come.
