Rohadi offers unique insights on the future direction of the church in the West. You already know the problem. Christianity has been pushed to the margins of society, and that may be a good thing. The global pandemic has only hastened the change and has left leaders searching for answers on how to re-imagine the church. We live in a society that is less religious, church attendance is stagnant, resources are drying up, and leaders are struggling to find answers to stop the exodus post-COVID. We can't rely on inherited privilege or influence from the past. Rather, we need to move forward with a new framework.
“Thrive”, is a guide to help unlock features in you, and your church, to emerge as co-creators to make our cities, neighborhoods, and country better. With the increasing number of people claiming no religious affiliation, it may be surprising to learn core values like purpose, justice, spirituality, and love remain important. The stage is set. Today’s culture presents a great opportunity for the church that seeks to live out the Gospel in a post-Christian world.
It’s time to live out the fulness of God’s dream for you and the church. Respond to the call to join the unfolding mission in your midst.
