“Our world is in crisis, and people are searching for answers. Only God knows the answer to so much misery—His Son, Jesus Christ. When Jesus resurrected from the dead and was leaving us to go to His Father in Heaven, He gave us an important assignment: spread the news about Him everywhere and teach people how to be reproducing disciples.
I gave my life to Christ over 50 years ago and have experienced firsthand this plan for evangelism and discipleship. I’ve trained hundreds of people whose lives have been transformed and now are reproducing disciples for Christ. That’s why I started Stirlen Ministries, so we can train pastors, church leaders, and any Christian believer to build their faith using proven discipleship tools and godly disciplines. Let us show you how to share Christ with others as a way of life—where you live, work, and play.”
“This book answers ‘Why does the church exist?’ ‘How do I know that I am an active disciple seeking to fulfill the Great Commission?’ and ‘How do I become coachable so that I may live more as a real, active, results-producing disciple?’
In Are You Coachable?, we see the process that developed Larry’s consistent emphasis on being mentored and mentoring others toward the integral life of fulfilling the Great Commission. With great clarity and passion, borne of personal experience, Larry explains the opportunity available to each Christian to ‘know God and make Him known.’ Zeal is evident. This book reveals the consistency and passion with which Larry engages in a fully committed discipleship that demands personal evangelism.”

“Every Christian leader should embrace this book as a new way to revitalize and grow their body of believers! This challenging playbook is a game-changer that focuses on the basics of creating a winning team for Jesus. I encourage every leader to immediately read this book and then launch a community-wide offensive.”

“… experience the deep joy reserved for those who pursue fulfilling Jesus’s Great Commission … one life at a time!”
“I’ve known Larry Stirlen for almost forty years. He has always been passionate about personal evangelism and is the most consistent person I know when it comes to sharing his faith in Jesus Christ with those who don’t know Him. Larry is gifted and has applied what he recommends in this book for decades in various churches. All this to say, he lives what he is recommending. And if you will prayerfully, faithfully, and patiently apply what he recommends, you will experience the deep joy reserved for those who pursue fulfilling Jesus’s Great Commission … one life at a time!”
—Wade Estes, retired lead pastor, CrossPoint Community Church (formerly First Baptist Church), Modesto, CA
“Of all the people I have run into in 40+ years of ministry, Larry Stirlen has been the loudest voice of the need for people to be trained in evangelism but not just talking about it but he shares his faith on a regular basis with ‘Divine Appointments’ happening every day. This book will encourage and challenge you in your commitment to the Great Commission and the part you have been called to play.”
Every month, I create a breakthrough message. God creates in us breakthrough events that are worth sharing. I will share real-life witnessing opportunities that occur weekly. I call them divine appointments. It is God’s miracle when He opens someone’s heart to know about God and arranges for you to be there simultaneously to share Christ. If you want to know how to have a divine appointment every week and be a disciple for Christ, tune in or read my article every month.
