Healthy Growth
Taking responsibility as a leader means accepting that your life affects others and that you will always produce others who are like you. The influence of dysfunctional, broken leaders produces dysfunctional, broken environments. The influence of healthy, thriving leaders produces healthy, thriving environments. This is not only true in families and organizations but also in cities and nations. Jesus gave His church the mandate to disciple the nations.
None of us is perfect, but perfection is not a requirement to lead. Growth, however, is. Effective leaders have a hunger to grow and to become healthy spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. They understand that the environments they are called to influence need them to be as healthy as possible. So we must have a passion for growing healthy as we follow Jesus.

About this Plan
As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
