Moving Forward Through the Disruption

We believe that God is always at work in the midst of our circumstances, sometimes in ways that are not easily apparent to us. I have very few bold predictions about how things will look in the future, but I do believe that many things related to church life will be different.

As I observe churches that are discovering ways to thrive, here are some things that I am learning from them that might be helpful to you.

The Pivot in Our Mission: Find the Evangelism Style That Excites You

A Great Re-Imagined Tool For Your Toolbox

But while we can focus only on the negative, let me tell you about a new tool reimagined. The telephone! No, I didn’t find out about a new app. No, I’m not streaming a new viewing option. No, not a new game my kids told me I had to have. I’ve realized how good it feels and what can be accomplished by calling someone.

You read that right. A phone call.
