Tired? Frustrated? Confused?

Almost a third of new churches don't survive four years: What's the problem? What's gone wrong?

External opposition, character qualms, practical barriers, disunity dilemmas, and lack of support: These are the struggles reported by those on the front lines of church planting ministry.

Stories, scripture, and self-examination shed light on twelve common pitfalls and inspire strategies for planting churches that last. Gathering real experiences and tackling the challenges headfirst, Steel encourages us to step out of the pressured drive for short-term gains and resist the allure of superficial successes. As our gaze shifts from making converts to making disciples, we are equipped and energized to persevere in establishing the roots that will cultivate thriving churches.

In the midst of discouragement, there is hope for struggling church plants and struggling planters: God has promised to build his church.
