Leadership Lessons from John Wesley

wesley4John Wesley didn’t intend to start a denomination – but he created a movement. The leadership principles he developed during this extraordinary period of church growth were so effective, they simply became known as “The Method.”

Though we just celebrated John Wesley’s 312th birthday, when we look closer at Wesley’s story, it’s clear how similar his situation was to ours – and how applicable these leadership principles are to ministry today.

In his day, there was also a great anti-Christian movement.

There was a great need for renewal and revival.

There was a need for structure and organization in order for the gospel to be shared.

Wesley knew the difficulty of ministry – the hard work required to save people. But he believed in the role of the church and its ability to transform its community and change lives – particularly through small groups and volunteers. He believed in rules to help both church leaders and members do the things they needed to do to grow and reach more people for Christ. 

Surprisingly, not much has been written on the leadership lessons of John Wesley – that is, until now.

It stunned me that though I was familar with Wesley from seminary, I didn’t realize just HOW MANY insights we could apply until I studied him with my friend and fellow church history enthusiast, Dr. Bob Whitesel – who just happens to be the foremost authority on John Wesley.

I had the tremendous privilege of traveling with him on a UK tour to study the “Footsteps of John Wesley.” This immersion into the impact of Wesley was so powerful that I invited Dr. Whitesel to speak for a half day at one of my coaching events LIVE, and unpack the inspiring “methods” that gave rise to the greatest world-wide revival since the Reformation!

And we recorded it all. Now in this brand new resource exclusive from Dr. Bob Whitesel, you’ll discover the church growth principles behind this movement that you can apply to unleash growth in your own ministry today! (See the P.S. below for all the details)

I hope you’ll join Dr. Whitesel as he recounts in exciting and humorous stories the life and leadership lessons of Wesley. Whitesel will engage you with colorful narratives of his travels across England studying original Wesley writings in the actual locations where Wesley wrote them!
