The Bible Isn’t Optional. It’s the Strategy.
Stirlen puts it plainly: we’re losing because we’re not following the playbook. The Bible isn’t just a book of stories—it’s a strategy manual. And ignoring it is spiritual malpractice. In Chapter 5, Stirlen paints a sobering picture of what happens when believers stop reading and stop obeying: churches decline, disciples aren’t made, and the light goes out.
But he also offers hope. When we treasure the Word and obey it, fruit follows. Lives change. Power returns. And heaven celebrates every time a lost soul is found. If you want to win, you must study the playbook, live the playbook, and teach the playbook.
Being coachable means you don’t rewrite the strategy—you run it.
