Pastors and church leaders strive to transform lives through the gospel, dedicating themselves to caring for others and launching new initiatives. However, many efforts fall short, resulting in superficial discipleship that fails to foster genuine change. Church members often remain passive, struggling to integrate emotions like anger and sadness, while being defensive about their weaknesses. There is a pressing need for a new approach to teaching what it means to follow Jesus in a transformative way. In Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, Pete Scazzero draws on thirty years of experience and lessons from his ministry to guide church leaders in cultivating deeply changed individuals who grow in their relationships with God, themselves, and others. He identifies four systemic gaps that hinder true discipleship and presents a vision for a church culture that fosters profound life changes. Scazzero outlines seven biblical marks of emotionally healthy discipleship: Learn to Be Before You Do, Follow the Crucified, Not the Americanized, Jesus, Receive the Gift of Limits, Befriend Suffering and Loss, Break the Power of the Past, Practice the Presence of People, and Lead Out of Brokenness and Vulnerability. He concludes with actionable steps to establish an emotionally healthy discipleship culture capable of making a significant impact.
