FRESH START – RETURNING TO NEW TESTAMENT NORMAL

Question: “If you had to leave your church, and Jesus Himself pastored it for three months, what would be different when you came back?” When asked this question, a room full of ministers gave an immediate answer: “Everything!” But if Jesus would change everything, why aren’t we changing anything? That’s the challenge.

In Fresh Start, author David O. Harrison addresses the “quiet collapse” of the modern institution. For too long, we have settled for organizational bloating, institutional routine, and programs that run just fine without a whisper of prayer. This in-depth study has not been produced as a ‘quick-fix’; it is written to guide churches and their congregations into a deep understanding of Jesus’ want for His bride.

It is time to return to New Testament Normal. This isn’t a call to return to “sandals and scrolls,” but to the priorities that once lit up the world: a Church powered by the Holy Spirit, marked by radical love, and defined by simple, quiet obedience.

The Navigator’s Guide: This comprehensive, 45-chapter Group Study Guide is built on four transformational modules:

• Module 1: Orientation – Preparing the heart through the “IF” invitations of God.
• Module 2: Perspective – Diagnosing why churches fail and identifying the “Me-Centred” trap.
• Module 3: The Living Body – Unleashing “Grace Gifts” and reclaiming the shepherding heart of Pastor Jesus.
• Module 4: The Pathway – A roadmap for renewal, moving from routine to “Whooping, Hollering, and Dancing”.

Designed for Collective Impact: Whether you are a leadership team, a small group, or a church planter, this book offers three distinct “flight paths” to manage the journey—from a 12-week “Fast Track” to a deep-dive 45-week manual for reform.

Don’t settle for “business as usual.”
