Michael Fletcher · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Van Tracy
68/100
👎 Skip It
Pastor Michael Fletcher writes from real experience building leaders inside his own church, and the FirstStep/NextStep/LeaderStep framework is practical rather than preachy for its own sake. It's a clean, faith-affirming pick with nothing content-wise to flag, but it's squarely aimed at ministry leaders, so general readers may find it narrow. Van Tracy's narration wasn't independently reviewed, so I can't vouch for the listening experience itself.
