205 –  How can the book of James help your church grow?

For a church to grow, there has to be a strong moral and spiritual foundation in Christ. And that's what the book of James is all about.

In fact, it's very similar in tone with the Sermon on the Mount.

When you and your church put these teachings into practice, individually and collectively, you will flourish.

This week I talk with author, Robin T. Jennings about how the book of James is a guidebook to church growth and a bridge to the next generation of church members.

Here are some of the points we covered

• The importance of church for worship and community
• The power of collective prayer
• We need spiritual mentors and to spiritually mentor others
• James shows us how to act (and not act) toward people when they come to our churches
• Why it's important to live your faith
• Who is James anyway?

Robin has written 3 books*

• May You Live in Christ: Spiritual Growth Through the Vision of St. Peter
• The Door to Renewal: Spiritual Growth Through the Mind of St. Paul
• A Letter to the Church and the Next Generation: Spiritual Growth through the Witness of James
