The modern church is facing a discipleship crisis. Research shows that only one-third of Christians in America are actively engaged in making disciples—leaving a massive gap in the mission Jesus gave us.

It's time to start over from zero. What happened to the Western church? Why are we losing the generation under thirty and reaching so few nonbelievers? In Church Zero, Peyton Jones examines one of our biggest problems: squeezing our leaders into a mold that cuts their hair and drains away their commando strength.
