In his book 5Q, Alan Hirsch took a deep dive into the fivefold typology of ministry as articulated in Ephesians 4:1–16. Now in this User’s Guide, Alan and Jessie challenge and equip you, your organization or church to live into a new way of seeing, thinking, and living.

Summarizing and simplifying the key themes of 5Q, this practical guide is ideal for either individuals or groups. With practitioner examples, reflective questions, and training tools, Activating 5Q enables you to apply the principles to your particular context.

ENDORSEMENTS

“A new and brilliant understanding of how to unleash the latent capacity within you, the church and every group for the Jesus mission. Activating 5Q gives us both a framework and a practical application from Ephesians 4 for how to activate the body of Christ. This needs to be read by every leader who loves the church, its people and its mission.”

DAVE FERGUSON, lead pastor, Community Christian Church; lead visionary, NewThing; author, Finding Your Way Back To God and Starting Over

“This book provides us with a clear model showing us how Jesus is active in and through the church. The fivefold typology reestablishes the ministry of Christ in the body of Christ, and in so doing gives the church the biblical foundation and practical handles for a desperately needed recalibration. Wonderful.”

BRAD BRISCO, coauthor of Missional Essentials and Next Door as It Is in Heaven
