The global church is facing a discipleship crisis. Here’s how we move forward into transformative discipleship…

Pastors and church leaders want to see lives changed by the gospel. They work tirelessly to care for people, initiate new ministries, preach creatively, and keep up with trends. Sadly, much of this effort does not result in deeply changed disciples.

Traditional discipleship strategies fail because they only address surface issues and do not go deep enough into the emotional health of individuals.

But transformative, emotionally healthy discipleship is a methods-based biblical theology that, when fully implemented, informs every area of a church, ministry, or organization. It is a discipleship structure built from the center that:

• Slows down our lives so we can cultivate a deep, personal relationship with Jesus.
• Challenges the values of Western culture that have compromised the radical call to follow the crucified Jesus.
• Integrates sadness, loss, and vulnerability, that, when left out, leave people defensive and easily triggered.
• Acknowledges God’s gift of limits in our lives.
• Connects how our family and personal history influence our discipleship in the present.
• Measures our spiritual maturity by how we are growing in our ability to love others.

In Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, bestselling author Pete Scazzero takes leaders step-by-step through how to create an emotionally healthy culture and multiply deeply-changed people in every aspect of church life, including:

• Leadership and team development
• Marriage and single ministry
• Small groups and youth and children’s ministry
• Preaching, worship, and administration
• Outreach

Complete with assessments and practical strategies, Emotionally Healthy Discipleship will help you move people to the beneath-the-surface discipleship that actually has the power to change the world.

**Graphics, assessments, and appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

A road map for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative.

Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do–avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore his anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; and live without boundaries.

Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.

In this updated edition, Scazzero shares new stories and principles as he outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested steps to become emotionally mature:

• Become your authentic self
• Break the power of the past
• Let go of power and control
• Surrender to your limits
• Stop to breathe by practicing rest and Sabbath
• Learn new skills to love well
• Love Christ above all else

In the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality audio Bible study, Peter outlines a roadmap for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative. He unveils what’s wrong with our current definition of “spiritual growth” and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works, but seven steps to change that will help you experience authentic faith and hunger for God.

Though Peter was an experienced pastor of a growing church, his life and faith remained emotionally unhealthy. Like so many in the church, he routinely:

• avoided healthy conflict in the name of keeping the peace
• ignored and suppressed emotions
• used work for God as an excuse to run from God
• lived without limits

In this study, Peter helps you unpack core biblical principles to guide you into an experience of lasting, beneath-the-surface transformation in your relationship with Christ. This study is Part One of the Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Course that also includes the bestselling Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day-by-Day.

After almost three decades of pastoring New Life Fellowship Church in the bustle of New York City, Peter Scazzero discovered that most people are missing the deep emotional change that can happen in their walk with Jesus.

Scazzero found two truths to be true: you can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature, and unless you slow and quiet your life down for a direct relationship with Jesus Christ, little change is possible. The integration of these two truths unleashed a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.

Based on his bestselling book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, How Healthy Is Your Spirituality? helps listeners identify the top ten symptoms of emotionally unhealthy spirituality and what they can do about them. Seven devotions lead listeners on the journey to health, and an assessment is included in the audiobook companion PDF download for listeners to evaluate how emotionally healthy they really are.

En este revolucionario libro devocional, Peter Scazzero reintroduce y desarrolla la antigua disciplina espiritual del Oficio Diario. La premisa básica es simple: los cristianos deben pausar intencionalmente dos veces al día para estar con Dios, de modo que la práctica de la presencia de Dios sea una realidad en sus vidas.

Con el mismo ritmo poderoso que el devocional Espiritualidad emocionalmente sana, cada día presenta dos oficios: mañana/mediodía y mediodía/noche, donde cada devocional reflexionará sobre temas de relaciones emocionalmente sanas, como clarificar las expectativas, escuchar con empatía y jugar limpio. Los lectores serán guiados a una práctica de transformación que profundizará su caminar diario con Jesús.
