Gaining By Losing

In "Gaining By Losing," J.D. Greear challenges the conventional focus of churches on gathering congregants and emphasizes the importance of sending disciples into the world. He argues that true success in ministry lies in a church's sending capacity rather than its seating capacity and presents ten guiding principles to help reorient church priorities around God's mission. Greear highlights that while there is a cost to this approach, effective churches can balance both gathering and sending for greater impact in reaching the lost.
