14. Why Bother?
Genesis 17-18 - Will a son be born
to a man 100 years old and a
woman the age of 90?
Abraham gave the best of what he
had . . . Sarah laughed . . .
God is NOT done with us and is
continually asking us to birth new,
irrational and unexpected things.

What are we being asked to birth?

15. 21C Culture Shifts
Authority and “t”ruth:
from a single source of authority to
an open source of discernment.
eg . . . how we explore and discern
Scripture, politics, culture, worship,
decision making, etc. changes.
SO WHAT?
The church must figure integrate
new ways of worshipping,
discerning and understanding
authority.

16. 21C Culture Shifts
Structure and Adaptability:
from a mindset of methodology
and “steps” to a of spirit of
embraced chaos and institutional
fluidity.
eg . . . Changes how we structure
our communal lives: congregation
and councils.
SO WHAT?
The church in all aspects of its life
must become less rigid and more
adaptable, flexible and fluid.

17. 21C Culture Shifts
Mobility and Commitment
from a life-long commitment to
“place” to an expectation of
transience and change.
eg . . . we change how we
perceive a person’s commitment
in terms of longevity.
SO WHAT?
Organizational structures and
communal activity must be more
adaptive and responsive.

18. 21C Culture Shifts
Technology and Community:
from geographic clustering and
isolation to broad global
community.
eg . . . our understanding and
experience of community, privacy
and social interaction is
broadened.
SO WHAT?
The church must find faithful and
effective ways to utilize social
media in all aspects of the church.

19. 21C Culture Shifts
Spirituality & Public Engagement
from a silent understanding of
separating church and state to an
increased move to a public
expression of faith and politics.
eg . . . we acknowledge political
realities while encouraging
personal discernment.
SO WHAT?
We must reclaim our voice in the
public square and responsibility to
nurture the voices of the people.

20. 21C Culture Shifts
Influence and Social Capital:
from a monolithic presence and
mindset to a niche reality and
opportunity for growth.
eg . . . denominational evangelism
strategies will change.
SO WHAT?
The church must find and value a
multiplicity of expression of faith.
