For more than a generation, the church in the West has looked to the star pastor or the efforts of a fast-growing church to lead the way in helping us accomplish the mission of Jesus. It’s not working. We have forgotten God’s truth that we are better together. Dave Ferguson and Patrick O’Connell identify the critical missing piece, pointing us to Jesus’ prayer in John 17. It is the third “Great” command. We are to Go (the Great Commission) in Love (the Great Commandment) Together (the Great Collaboration). It’s when we put all three together—and only when we obey all three—that we’ll realize the dream of the kingdom of God. Dave and Patrick use their collective experience and tell the stories of others to share how God is working through collaboration—specifically reproducing church networks—to create an infrastructure for kingdom movement. If you’ve ever asked why you should join a network or wanted to start one, don’t miss these insights from these leaders. Together, they remind us, we can change the world.
