About this listen

A Close Look at What It Takes to Create an Irresistible Church.

This isn't a book about how to make your church bigger. This is a book about how to make your church more appealing to the people who don’t usually—or have never—gone to church.

Deep and Wide provides church leaders with an in-depth look into North Point Community Church and its strategies, its goals, its methods, and its story. You'll learn how to create a church that unchurched people absolutely love to attend. Pastor Andy Stanley explains:

  • His strategy for preaching and programming to both mature believers and skeptics.
  • North Point's spiritual formation model: The Five Faith Catalysts.
  • Three essential ingredients for creating irresistible environments.
  • How to tackle the challenge of transitioning a local congregation.

Updated & Expanded edition includes discussion guide, church staff resources, and a Q&A with Andy!

"Andy Stanley is on the front lines of a major shift in how both Christians and non-Christians experience "church" in America. In Deep and Wide, Andy opens up his playbook for how North Point Community Church grew into one of the nation's most effective churches, openly shares their victories and failures, and shows you how to take your own church deeper in the Word and wider in appeal." —Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host.

Would you listen to Deep & Wide again? Why?

Yes, I think there are so many great ideas and challenging thoughts I need to listen to it again to catch the ones I missed. You have to listen to it from a non-american view point, strip out the principals opposed to the exact practice.

What other book might you compare Deep & Wide to, and why?

I don't think I've come across a book that compares to this, possible the Advantage by Patrick Lencioni or Searching for Sundays by Rachel Held Evans are equally as helpful when thinking about the structure of church

Have you listened to any of Tom Parks’s other performances? How does this one compare?

First one

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no because it's to long & to much to take in

A must for any church leader
