“I have known my good friend Michael Murphy to be an astute student, learner and leader of all things Church. Its nurture, development and growth — both spiritual and strategic. In XLR8, he synthesizes his decades of leadership experience and wisdom and distills it for us to apply for our own godly vision fulfillment. I know that every leader who reads this book will want to share its pragmatic wisdom with others. I have learned and grown – you will, too.”
Sam Chand
Leadership Consultant and a friend of Michael Murphy
“Mike Murphy understands why Church and church communities matter – for us to be discipled and be part of discipling others, so we can all know the impact of God in our own lives, our families, our communities and our nation.
Mike knows that God’s Church is the hope of the side here on earth. He loves the Church, he respects it, and he honours it. XLR8 is not a church growth formula. It is the distilled wisdom of Mike’s experience, sacrifice and passion for making disciples of Christ. Mike’s insights are clear, coherent, practical and humble. They will help church leaders to make their churches the places we need them to be.”

Each page resonates with tales of unsung heroes, inspiring a profound appreciation for the pillars of our spiritual communities. Michael isn’t just an author; he’s a dear friend and relentless advocate for the transformative power of the local church. Delve into this masterpiece, and you’ll discover the heartbeat of true discipleship.”
