The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb: Searching for Jesus’ Path of Power in a Church that Has Abandoned It

Rediscover the wisdom of the cross and the power that truly sets you free.

Pastor Jamin Goggin and theology professor Kyle Strobel invite you on a journey to uncover Jesus’ seemingly contradictory way to power: weakness.

Why do so many rock-star pastors implode under the spotlight?
How have so many Christian leaders and institutions been lured by toxic and abusive power?
Why are so many Christians tempted to chase worldly success and status?

Because, according to Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel, rather than seeking kingdom power embodied by Jesus, our churches and leaders have embraced a form of power that is antithetical to the cross.

In The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb, Goggin and Strobel help you see a different kind of leadership, a richly biblical vision of power through weakness. This revised and updated edition also features a brand-new chapter for those who’ve been impacted by toxic and abusive power. Join the authors on a journey to gather wisdom from great sages of the faith, such as:

J. I. PackerDallas WillardMarva DawnJohn PerkinsJames HoustonEugene Peterson

As you listen in on their conversations, you will rediscover the wisdom of the cross and the power that truly sets us free. The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb will not only shape your leadership and your ministry, but it will also shape your soul and reorient you to the way of Jesus.
