Gravitas

Reimagining the Sunday Lecture Model, Restoring Jesus' Conversational Model

The 46-page gateway to everything One Kingdom Worldwide teaches. Gravitas is the essential first read — it establishes the problem (the Sunday lecture model’s failure to produce talmidim) and points toward the solution (Jesus’ conversational, relational approach). Read this first, and you will likely want to continue with Life, Love, and Leading.

This Book is Used For:
  • Introducing the talmid concept to church leaders and elder teams
  • Personal reading before engaging the full Life/Love/Leading series
  • Presenting the case for rethinking the Sunday lecture model
  • A concise, shareable overview of Rick’s core message
Book Two · Discipleship

Life

Hearts After the Father, the Mind of Christ, and the Fruit of the Spirit

Life helps us think about our conversations together with hearts after the Father, the mind and attitudes of Christ, language and actions that produce fruit of the Spirit, and love that proves we care and are his. It is the foundation for all relational discipleship — whether one-on-one or in a small group setting.

This Book is Used For:
  • One-on-one discipleship across all walks of life
  • Small group Bible studies in church or home settings
  • Work with the impoverished, homeless, and formerly incarcerated
  • Marital and pre-marital counseling
  • Mentor and counselor training seminars

Book Three · Prayer

Love

Allowing God to Accomplish His Sanctification in Our Lives

Love supports the individual prayer time needed in allowing God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to accomplish His sanctification in our lives. It is the personal, interior companion to the relational work of Life — the quiet time that makes the community transformation of Leading possible.

This Book is Used For:
  • Daily personal prayer and devotional time
  • Deepening surrender and sanctification practice
  • Companion reading alongside the Life book
  • Individual spiritual direction and counseling
Book Four · Community

Leading

Building Upon Life and Love for Community Transformation

Leading helps us build upon Life and Love collectively — for community transformation. Scattered like salt across our communities and found, as Jesus was, in service to one another, each individual grain reflects the light of God’s love. More and more people will be led into lifesaving relationship, and our communities will be restored.

This Book is Used For:
  • Church leadership and elder team development
  • Community outreach strategy and vision
  • Building Kingdom org structure within a local church
  • Pastoral team reading and retreat discussion
