Before we build higher, we must make certain the foundation can carry the weight.Back to the Basics: A Biblical Blueprint for Strengthening Church Leadership Amongst the Nations is a comprehensive Christian leadership workbook designed to help pastors, elders, teachers, ministry leaders, emerging leaders, and serious students of Scripture examine and strengthen the biblical foundations upon which their lives and ministries are being built.Drawing upon Jesus’ picture of the wise builder who dug deep and built upon the rock, Dr. Chet McBroom calls Christian leaders beyond simply hearing the Word to faithfully understanding and living it. Going 'back to the basics' is not a step backward. It is an opportunity to inspect the foundation, repair what has weakened, recover what may have been neglected, and prepare leaders and churches to faithfully carry greater Kingdom responsibility.Across twelve chapters, Back to the Basics explores essential subjects including the sure foundation of faith, progressive revelation, biblical translation and interpretation, historical and cultural context, water baptism, law and sin, conviction and repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation, justification and sanctification, practical holiness, lessons from the Ark of the Covenant and the Day of Atonement, and the full armor of God.The workbook also encourages readers to dig beneath familiar English expressions and inherited assumptions by considering the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek background of Scripture, historical context, covenantal patterns, and the Jewish and Second Temple world of Jesus and the apostles. The goal is not to make Scripture inaccessible, but to understand more carefully what the biblical writers communicated to their original audiences so that those enduring truths can be faithfully applied today.This is more than a book to read, it is a training resource to work through. Reflective questions encourage personal examination, while dedicated questions for church leadership challenge ministry teams to evaluate doctrine, discipleship, accountability, biblical interpretation, spiritual authority, and ministry practice. Workshop notes provide space to record insights, Scriptures, questions, and practical action steps.Written with the emerging Church among the nations especially in view, Back to the Basics recognizes that rapid growth and spiritual harvest bring tremendous responsibility. Evangelism brings people to a point of decision; discipleship must help them learn to follow Jesus. Churches therefore need leaders who are grounded in truth, formed in character, accountable in leadership, responsive to the Holy Spirit, and prepared to make mature disciples.Back to the Basics is an invitation to return and rebuild-to return to clarity, balance, obedience, and the essential truths of Scripture so that leaders and ministries can move forward on a foundation strong enough to bear the weight of what God entrusts to them.Jesus Christ is the foundation. Scripture is the authoritative pattern. This workbook is a training instrument intended to help Christian leaders see that pattern more clearly and build faithfully upon Him. 6
