Synopsis "Self-Feeders: A Personal and Corporate Key to Lasting Fruit in the Christian Life (in English)"
Are you missing out on the full experience of a relationship with God?When you have a question about God or what He thinks about an issue, do you turn to your pastor or another "professional" Christian--or to your Bible? What if you had the confidence and experience to allow God to speak to you directly through the pages of His Word?A former NFL quarterback and wide receiver, Todd Doxzon was cut from the New York Jets after an injury at training camp and spiraled downhill into drugs and depression until God transformed his life in the winter of 1997. In his truck, on his way to deliver a Jimmy Johns sandwich and a bag of weed, Todd met Jesus and surrendered his life to Christ right there and then. A couple of weeks later, the New England Patriots signed him and sent him to NFL Europe, where he roomed with Kurt Warner, who discipled him.In 1998, Todd landed with the Miami Dolphins and was invited to Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, where his faith began to skyrocket. Over the next few years, he became increasingly involved in ministry, and in 2008, he and his wife Denise and a group of twenty-five people started Calvary Chapel West Omaha in Nebraska, which is now called Love Church.Drawing from his own story of personal transformation, Pastor Doxzon shares how to: - Stop making excuses and start reading your Bible- Use the right tools and habits to have daily time with God- Extend Bible study to your entire family, making it a household habit- Experience revival in your life, church, and community through the power of God's WordPlus, each chapter concludes with a set of application-oriented questions and suggested action steps for both individuals and church leaders.In this timely call to action, Pastor Doxzon explains how a decision to read his Bible daily brought lasting change to his life--and how it can change yours, too. If you're ready to stop being spiritually ineffective and immature, and to grow into the person God intends, read Self-Feeders to discover the keys to lasting spiritual fruit in the life of every believer and church in the body of Christ.
