The Mobilization Flywheel
Creating a Culture of Biblical Mobilization
Larry Walkemeyer and Todd Wilson
The Mobilization Flywheel provides a fresh framework for church leaders to create a culture of Biblical mobilization. As one of the core resources for the 2019 theme Made for More, The Mobilization Flywheel introduces Exponential's newest framework to help churches pursue Level 4 Reproduction and Level 5 Multiplication. The authors reveal how a church can empower believers to become everyday missionaries where they live, work, study and play.
Central to a vision for church multiplication is a mindset that every believer can live a fully mobilized life serving in the sweet spot of their calling. Most believers can start gatherings and many of these gatherings can become new churches.
Today churches are desiring to make a greater Kingdom impact. Believers are longing to live out their Kingdom calling. Our culture is waiting for new expressions of the Church. The Mobilization Flywheel offers an approach that can move the Church forward; an approach which can create ever-increasing momentum for the multiplication of the Church.
