We live in a time in which many of us feel the fabric of community fraying - which means that, among other things, we have a unique opportunity and urgent need to reimagine our engagement in religious and societal structures. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a call to rediscover our roles within collective spaces and enact meaningful change. Together, we dig deep into the transition from a consumer model defined by individualism entitlement to engaged, interdependent citizen models that can promote both accountability and community within our churches.
We imagine churches as havens for the practice of genuine, collaborative humanity in a world teetering on the brink of authoritarianism. Part of the goal of disrupting church is to remake our church communities into tapestries of relationships built on need, reciprocity, and accountability, woven together through love and resilience. And this is where we start. Thanks for listening and for being on this journey with us!
