Followership: Faithful Following in an Age of Confusion - Paperback

by Steven R. Timmermans (Author)

Not all are called to be leaders, but all of us are called to followership. In these confusing times of fake news, uncertain truths, and questionable leaders, we must understand and respond with faithful followership. Moreover, faithful followership isn't required only when we step into the public square or tune in to our favorite news channel. In our personal journeys, families and marriages, workplaces, churches, and communities, we must decide who to follow and how to follow. Old patterns and habits require discernment, clarity with gender, culture, and race, and other factors, while understanding the important roles of worldview and community.
