FARGO, N.D. - TelAve -- It's time for a gut check. While many churches are laser-focused on getting people in, they're failing at what matters most: sending them out. In the face of contemporary challenges and debates about the church's role, Pastor David Schmall, in his groundbreaking new book, Unseated: Being a Sending Church, Not a Seated One, calls churches to redefine their measure of success—because discipleship isn't confined to the pews—it's lived out in the world.

The numbers don't lie. According toBarna Group, only68% of Christians attend church monthly—down from 85% in 1993. Even more alarming?51% of churchgoers have never even heard of the Great Commission.Thom S. Rainer, a leading church strategist, reveals that90% of churches in America are plateaued or declining, not because they lack good preaching or programs, but because they've forgotten their mission.

"If Jesus spent three years training disciples to go, why have we spent decades training Christians to stay?" asks Schmall, who brings over 20 years of pastoral leadership and corporate experience at Apple and Microsoft to the conversation. "Most churches have become spiritually sedentary—great at keeping people comfortable but terrible at sending them out with purpose."

Missiologist Ed Stetzer has famously warned,"A church that doesn't send is a church that ends." Unseated offers abold, practical, and convicting roadmap to help churches move from Sunday-centric tomission-driven, equipping believers to engage their communities, make disciples, and reignite a passion for evangelism.
