What's a Christian, Anyway?: Finding Our Way in an Age of Confusion and Corruption

"Read by the author. In a time where corruption and confusion have led many to deconstruct or leave the Church entirely, discover the ancient creed that casts a beautiful vision to help you reconstruct your faith and draw you home. The Church today has lost its way. We've pursued the wrong priorities, put our hope in personalities, and elevated popularity over spiritual maturity. And it's not just the Church that's lost; we are too. As culture wars rage and competing voices argue, many Christians are left asking a basic question, What's a Christian, anyway? Pastor and theologian Glenn Packiam digs back into ancient Christianity to a time like ours to show you the Nicene Creed and discover how you can return to the living heart of what it means to be a Christian. In What's a Christian, Anyway? you will: - Discover how the Creed--born in an ancient time of controversy, confusion, and disunity much like today--is not just a statement of beliefs, but a rope to lead us home - Experience an invitation into the mystery and wonder of God through these ancient words - Rediscover a path to becoming faithful witnesses to the way of Jesus as we learn to live into the Creed's beautiful story, stunning hope, and powerful vision of what a Christian is The world yearns for Christ's joy, peace, and hope, but the gospel is only believable if Christians live like it's true. Join this adventure into the heart of authentic Christianity, and rediscover for yourself the fresh, timeless power of our Creed and return to the living heart of what it means to be a Christian."

The Resilient Pastor: Leading Your Church in a Rapidly Changing World

"How can pastors become resilient in a rapidly changing world? In the wake of crises that have exposed and accelerated massive cultural shifts, we see more clearly the seismic shifts of post-Christendom, the surging storms of a new paganism and pluralism, and the scattered debris of the cultural aftermath. Drawing on new research from the Barna Group, scripture, and church history, Glenn Packiam addresses some of the most pressing questions for today's leaders, including what is a pastor's calling and vocation?; how do church leaders regain credibility in a disillusioned world?; how do church leaders cultivate a deeper life with God?; how do pastors develop meaningful relationships?; why does the church gather in worship? Does it still matter if we do?; how can we face the challenges to unity presented by nationalism and racism? what is the church's mission in the world?; and how do we welcome the presence and power of God in our churches? With enlightening data, and insights from other ministry leaders, this book is the perfect resource for church leaders who want to cultivate resilience in their ministry today. Bonus material: This audiobook includes figures in printable PDF format."

Blessed Broken Given: How Your Story Becomes Sacred in the Hands of Jesus

"An invitation to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary and imperfect aspects of your life; not as a call to settle for less, but rather as a way to mysteriously participate in God's power and purpose. Glenn Packiam wants to empower readers to find great joy, purpose, and passion in their daily living. While bread may be one of the most common items on our dinner tables, Jesus chose to take it at the Last Supper and invest deep, wonderful, and transcendent meaning in it. Like the bread that was blessed, broken, and given; readers will see how God uses ordinary experiences to cultivate their mission and their brokenness to bring healing to the world. The ordinary is not the enemy; it is the means by which God accomplishes the miraculous. Through clear biblical teaching and practical steps, Packiam leads the reader into a more purposeful, directed, hopeful future."
