Followship: Enjoying Jesus’ Leadership, Even in the Unknown

If God is perfect, why is His way of leading so strange?

Jesus invites everyone to follow Him as a disciple, which means submitting to His leadership. But what if you don’t like how He’s leading, where He’s taking you, what He’s asking you to do, or what He’s allowing you to experience along the way? Jesus’ track record as a leader may be flawless, but let’s be honest: At times, we all question His way of leading.

In Followship, Marcus Yoars examines the timeless dilemma of every human—we naturally want to lead, not follow—and reveals how we can trust Jesus enough to enjoy the journey with Him rather than white-knuckle our way through life. Though we may not know how to navigate what lies ahead, Jesus does; and He invites us into such close fellowship with Him that together we can dance our way into—and through—life’s toughest seasons.

Whether you long to grow more in discipleship or just want to understand God’s ways better, Followship is an inspiring, timely book to help deepen your trust in Him amid increasing uncertainty. A former journalist and award-winning writer, Yoars blends scriptural insight with personal experience—including his current fight against cancer—to identify four phases of followship with Jesus: surrendering, submitting, trusting, and enjoying. Learn how to grow through each stage of the followship journey as you enjoy Jesus as the ultimate leader.
