Description

Is your faith community struggling to find its way? Holy Disruption will spark your church's imagination in ways you may never have considered. Discover individuals and communities following Jesus's example by embracing entrepreneurial approaches to healing the world, planting seeds of hope, and building healthy community in unconventional ways.

The traditional model of church is dying. Dwindling congregations and empty buildings, while sources of grief, offer unprecedented opportunities. Holy Disruption sees this unique opportunity to embrace creativity, building a roadmap for adaptation and meaningful mission today. Discover inspiring stories of holy disruptors finding the courage to break free from conventional ideas of faith community and embrace innovative approaches to living the gospel. Social enterprise plays a critical role in this work, building sustainable businesses that support a healing world. Holy Disruption shows that you are not alone in seeking the courage to discover how your community can lead the way to new expressions of God's love.
