Easy to Follow

In the book, Easy to Follow Trading Toxic Leadership for the Way of Jesus (October 2025, NavPress), Lyle Wells and trusted Bible teacher Kat Armstrong offer an inspiring, transformative guide for Christian leaders ready to break free from the results-driven pressures that can harm integrity and exhaust teams. Readers examine Jesus’ example and learn how to be the kind of leader people want to follow―embodying empathy, clarity, and integrity rather than pursuing status and metrics.

• Learn to redefine success in leadership.
• Discover how Jesus’ approachable, mission-driven style builds trust and inspires loyalty.
• Find practical steps to create a healthier culture in your organization.
• Recognize and avoid common pitfalls of secular leadership methods that can damage teams and compromise values.
• Realign your goals with Christ-centered priorities to relieve the pressure of performance-driven expectations.

It is time for leaders to trade toxic, results-focused leadership for a compassionate, life-giving Christ-centered approach that inspires trust and commitment. Read this book and learn how to empower those you lead to thrive!
