Home Cell Group Explosion (2023 version) is the most well-researched and practical audiobook ever written on cell group evangelism! Joel Comiskey traversed the globe to find out why particular churches and small groups are so successful in reaching the lost. He shares the answers freely within this volume.

This book explores how God has used small groups throughout church history, specifically focusing on the early church to the present time. God not only established the early church as a house to house movement, but he also has used small groups throughout church history. This book chronicles the small group or cell movement from Jesus all the way to the modern day cell explosion.

This audiobook clearly explains how to plant churches that are simple enough to keep on reproducing and even grow into a movement of churches. Planting Churches that Reproduce is the fruit of Comiskey’s extensive research and personal experience (three church plants in a wide variety of settings).

Ralph Neighbour repeatedly says, “Theology must breed methodology.”Joel Comiskey has arrived at the same conclusion. Biblical truth is the only firm foundation for anything we do. Without a biblical base, we don’t have a strong under-pinning upon which we can hang our ministry and philosophy. We can plod through most anything when we know that God is stirring us to behave biblically.

We've entitled this audiobook You Can Coach because we believe that coaching is more about passing on what you've lived and holding others accountable in the process. Coaching doesn't require a higher degree, special talent, unique personality, or a particular spiritual gift. We believe, in fact, that God wants coaching to become a movement. We long to see the day in which every pastor has a coach and in turn is coaching someone else. In this audiobook, you'll hear three coaches who have successfully coached pastors for many years.

Spending daily time with God is to develop an intimate relationship with God. It’s about friendship rather than rules. The apostle Paul’s yearning captures the heart of the quiet time: “I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death” (Philippians 3:10). Jeremiah covers similar ground in stating what the Lord says: “‘Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the ...

Small group resources tend to overlook the spiritual side of small group leadership. And yet most would agree that spiritual preparation is the most important aspect of leading a small group. Only God’s supernatural power can draw people to the truth and liberate them to be all that God wants them to be. The key distinction of this audiobook is the spiritual perspective it gives to small group ministry. In a Holy Spirit-charged atmosphere, cell leaders are best raised up and members are encouraged to minister in their giftedness.

Christians desire to grow in their relationship with God. They want to flourish, to experience victory in their Christian lives. They want to live in the overcoming power that the cross provides. But they are stuck. They are like my friend, John, who works 60 hours per week, sits in two hours of traffic each day, and carries the burdens of the world on his shoulders. He and his wife, Jenny, love each other, or at least they used to. They now spend their time together carting their kids to activities after driving through Taco Bell for dinner.

Many people do not believe that God is in control of their lives. They think they are the captains of their ship and don’t need God. Others believe that God might exist but that he’s not actively involved in their personal affairs or the world's affairs. It’s a subtle form of deism—the belief that God wound up the clock and let it tick down. According to this view, God started the process when he created the world but allows things to happen naturally without any guidance or influence. On the other hand, Scripture tells us that God, the Creator, is actively involved in all his ...

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Leadership Explosion and learn about churches develop strong leaders!

We know that the goal of the Christian life is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. While this is God's ultimate plan, does he have a particular purpose for the cell-based church? I've been wrestling with this question for the past 22 years. This question confronts me every time I coach a pastor or pastors. In preparation for coaching, I ask myself, "What is my principal objective in helping this pastor?", "Where am I guiding this church?", and "What am I trying to do?". I've come to the conclusion that the primary goal of cell ministry is to make disciples who make disciples.

My favorite coach is John Wooden. During his time coaching college basketball with the UCLA Bruins, Wooden won 10 NCAA titles, including seven in a row from 1967 to 1973. His UCLA teams also had a record winning streak of 88 games, four perfect 30-0 seasons, and won 38 straight games in NCAA Tournaments. Yet, Wooden wasn’t overly focused on winning basketball games. He was more concerned about building character in his players. He stimulated his players to be successful in their school studies, attitudes, and behavior - which ultimately resulted in success on the basketball court.
