"What Actually Starts Movements?" - NOW AN INSTANT #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER!
WE DID IT! Thanks to your incredible support, What Actually Starts Movements hit #1 bestseller status in Amazon's Church Growth category on launch day!
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for each of you who purchased the book, joined the Q&A session, and shared the news with your networks. This achievement belongs to all of us who are passionate about seeing movements of disciples multiply across the globe. All glory to our loving Father!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM YESTERDAY'S Q&A SESSION
Yesterday's launch Q&A with Roy Moran, Dave Coles, and Tim Freeman was incredible! The conversation offered rich insights about catalytic leadership and the factors that drive movement breakthrough.
A few highlights:
The Limits of Methods Alone. Movements don’t emerge from methods alone. The call highlighted the critical importance of going beyond mechanical application to engage the spiritual dynamics and soft factors—like depth with God, social influence competencies, and character—that are essential to real Kingdom multiplication.
Methods + the Right Person. Even the best strategies depend on who is applying them. The effectiveness of movement principles hinges not just on what is done, but who is doing it—and how they do it. Personal transformation is as vital as methodological soundness.
The Person of Peace. We explored how the concept of a Person of Peace points to those God has already prepared—spiritually receptive individuals, even in otherwise resistant societies.
If you missed the launch call, we will share the recording as soon as possible.
WHAT READERS ARE ALREADY SAYING
The feedback from early readers has been humbling:
Rich from the UK said: "I LOVE this book! It is a deep well of research-backed insight. A masterclass—and a must-read for anyone passionate about the church in our current moment."
Matt from the US wrote: "When I received a copy of Emanuel Prinz's new book, I couldn't wait to dive in. I was so captivated that I finished it the same day, unable to put it down. In this invaluable resource, he blends rigorous global research with deeply practical insights. … Whether you are a pioneer church planter, a ministry leader, or a trainer, this book equips you to evaluate your own leadership, refine your strategies, and grow into the kind of servant that God can use to catalyze movements."
RK from Paraguay received an advance copy and wrote: “I'm reading through your book now for the second time.” – only a couple of weeks after he received it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
During yesterday's Q&A, several questions came up repeatedly:
Q: Do you advise training all leaders in the catalytic qualities of the book or only emerging catalysts, pioneer, and apostolic leaders? A: While training in the catalytic qualities may be designed primarily for emerging catalysts, pioneers, and apostolic leaders, many others in different leadership roles have shared how much they’ve benefited from this training as well. These principles have proven broadly applicable, equipping leaders across various functions to play their part in God’s mission more effectively.
Q: Will this approach work in Western contexts? A: The research included movements in all six mega-cultures of the world, including Western contexts. Chapter 12 specifically addresses how to find receptive people in any context, even those generally resistant to the gospel.
