"Leaders are cultural architects. If you want to create a missional culture, read this book. J.R. and Bob understand that central to any culture is language. Words shape and form us. Words bring life and death. J.R. and Bob have freshly inspired me to consider the ministry mantras that I need to speak and embody to cultivate the church as movement. For words create worlds and those worlds recreate us."
—JR Woodward, national director, V3 Church Planting Movement, author of Creating a Missional Culture, coauthor of The Church as Movement

"Ministry Mantras is a welcomed water stop in the marathon that is ministry. Unpacking their tough, to-the-point, pithy sayings with real-life and biblical illustrations, Briggs and Hyatt serve a read that is not only refreshing but refueling when facing the ups and downs, celebrations, and challenges of being on God's mission. Whether you take a sip here and there or take it all in during one sitting, you'll find these powerful words resonating in your heart, mind, and soul long after the pages have been turned."
—Kris Beckert, church planter and mission strategist, Fresh Expressions US
