Disruptive Church Leadership
An increasingly diverse and cynical society is no longer finding credible a message of God’s love for all people as proclaimed from otherwise systemically segregated pulpits and pews. More than that, the pursuit of earthly justice is viewed by many church leaders as peripheral, not intrinsic, to the Gospel. Declining attendance, tithes and offerings, too, today threaten the very sustainability of a high percentage of local churches throughout the United States. The time to pivot is now.
