Empowerment, the author surmises, is not a trendy fad but a necessity for discipleship. Based on God's treatment of five biblical heroes and augmented with insight from academic research, the author conceptualizes empowerment as helping someone (a) understand his place in God's big picture, and (b) engage his strengths to pursue God's purposes. Empowering people requires authentic relationship -- giving people your resources, trust, and blessing. The author shares the results of interviews with young men connected with churches on Oregon's south coast. Their candor is refreshing and instructive. Jesus is our best coach, and we have what it takes to empower.
