As older church leaders, we’ve been told a million times that the Millennials and Gen Xers who are coming up behind us don’t think like we think. We don’t get it and it frustrates us. It’s up to us to mentor and empower the generations that follow us into church leadership. Sadly, many of us are doing just the opposite; we’re turning them away. We need to release our young leaders…release them to be the leaders they know they can be. Unleash provides thought-provoking ideas and practical, real-time examples that will help us learn to know, equip, and expectantly release our younger church leaders into the future with trust and confidence. This is Marv's heart and passion on paper! Unleash is published by both Abingdon Press and Foundry Publishing

Marv Nelson doesn’t believe all the stereotypes and caricatures doing the rounds about Millennials. He believes people are responsible when given responsibility, dignified when given dignity, and respectful when respected. And he knows that unleashing young leaders must come from an accurate awareness of their emotional, mental and spiritual capabilities plus the right amount of equipping, encouragement and trust. This book is a valuable resource. Michael Frost, author, Surprise the World
“I have called senior pastors to begin turning over their leadership to the next generation for the health and survival of the church. Marv Nelson has taken this plea the next step and explained how this can be done successfully. This is a timely, practical, and urgent book for all senior pastors of churches. If such action is not taken it is unlikely that the evangelical church will survive.” — David John Seel, Jr., author of The New Copernicans: Millennials and the Survival of the Church.
...Marv captures well the skepticism, honest inquiry, and distinct value base of his generation. He models well how leaders, by asking questions, can find greater responsiveness and receptivity. He follows the teaching model of Jesus who often created teaching moments by phrasing an insightful question. " From the forward by Warren Bird, Ph.D. Seminary professor, author/co-author of 28 books, research director at Leadership Network
"In What Good is Jesus?, Marv Nelson creates a necessary conversation that we need to be having with Millennials in our churches. With bold transparency, Marv explores the beauty of who Jesus is while addressing cultural challenges for young and old alike. I'm thankful for this book personally and believe it will have a significant impact on our churches in the U.S."- Tim Meier, Former Director of Envision, now Vice President of the Christian and Missionary Alliance
"In a wonderfully creative way, Tim Hibsman and Marvin Nelson use nautical themes to illuminate God’s Word and navigate the reader on a course of Christian growth and healing. This refreshing book is practical, easy to read, and enjoyable. This will be a valuable resource for every Church’s discipleship program".
Ron Walborn, Dean of Alliance University and Alliance Theological Seminary, New York City
"Marvin Nelson’s Unleash is a much-needed literary voice in the wilderness of those who are huffin’ and puffin’ about the spiritual frailty and characteristic failures of the Millennial generation. With incredible wisdom, fierce compassion, and deeply pastoral sensibilities, Marvin beautifully challenges and shows us how to call, equip, speak life into, and Unleash our future leaders. With down-to-earth examples and practical life-giving principles, we can learn how to patiently love the Millennial generation into emotionally mature, Spirit-led pioneers into the complex matrix of a 21st century, a pluralistic minefield. Well done, Marvin! Well done!" Mark Karris, author of Religious Refugees
I know very little about navigation. I didn't take it seriously when I first began reading this book, THE ANCHORED LIFE, I thought it was a kid-friendly satire of the truth. My views began to change as I read the book. I may not be nautically literate, but as I read the book, I began to see that it was more significant than I had first thought. This book will have a significant impact on a lot of people. Dr. James L. Snyder, Author of the best-selling In Pursuit of God: The Life of A.W. Tozer
