What We Do

 What if the church became the most innovative place in your community—not by chasing trends, but by trusting the Spirit’s wild leading? This session explores a theology of risk rooted in Jesus’ own ministry and helps leaders create a culture where failure is an opportunity and experimentation is a spiritual practice.

 Tired of building better programs that fewer people attend? This talk invites churches to shift from platform-centered ministry to incarnational presence in everyday spaces. Discover how to reorient your church around people, not events—and mission rather than maintenance.

 Evangelism doesn’t have to feel manipulative, cringeworthy, or colonial. In this session, we’ll rediscover a deeply relational, Spirit-led approach to sharing the Gospel—one that resonates with mainline churches and feels more like good news than good sales.

 What works in one neighborhood won’t work in another—and that’s the beauty of contextual mission. This session offers a roadmap for listening deeply, discerning faithfully, and launching small, Spirit-led experiments that meet people where they are.

What if discipleship didn’t end with Bible study but led people out into the world? This session helps churches design simple, replicable pathways that form people to follow Jesus not just on Sundays, but in their neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday lives.

 In a culture starving for belonging, a shared meal can be more powerful than a sermon. This session explores the theological heart of Dinner Church and shows why gathering around food, stories, and Jesus is drawing people who would never enter a traditional church.

 Small towns aren't small callings. In this session, we'll explore how rural churches can reclaim their role as centers of spiritual, relational, and community life—not by trying to “go big,” but by going deeper. Discover how connection, creativity, and contextual mission can renew the rural church from the inside out.

 In a world where fewer people speak the language of church, how do we form followers of Jesus? This session explores a discipleship model shaped by relationship, experience, and mission—meeting people where they are, and guiding them into an embodied faith that makes sense in a post-Christian world.

This joyful, energizing session makes the case for curiosity, creativity, and spiritual play as serious tools for congregational renewal. Learn how holy playfulness can lower defenses, spark imagination, and open up surprising new spaces for God’s Spirit to move.

Many congregations have lost connection with their surrounding communities. This session explores what it can look like for a congregation to enter into (or foster) natural points of intersection. Proximity leads to “collisions,” collisions lead to relationships, relationships open to the door to meaningful community and perhaps even faith exploration. Rediscover the spiritual potential of proximity.

Not everything that counts can be counted—but some things can. In this session, we’ll explore how to develop meaningful, Spirit-aligned metrics for missional ministry. Learn to track stories over stats, growth over attendance, and transformation over transaction—so you can measure what truly matters in the Kingdom of God.

Most people aren’t waking up on Sunday morning looking for a church service—but they are looking for meaning, belonging, and purpose. This talk invites leaders to rethink the form and function of church in today’s culture. Learn how to co-create Spirit-led, culturally connected expressions of church in coffee shops, dog parks, tattoo parlors, and anywhere everyday life happens.

The church of tomorrow is already emerging on the margins—in messy, beautiful ways. This session draws from real-world examples of Fresh Expressions and pioneer ministries that are reshaping the landscape of discipleship, evangelism, and community. You’ll leave with hopeful vision and practical next steps for leading your church into the future by paying attention to what’s already sprouting at the edges.

It’s easy to get stuck maintaining buildings, budgets, and Sunday attendance. But what if your church could move from managing decline to cultivating life? This session helps congregations make the courageous shift from inward focus to outward mission. With a blend of spiritual renewal and practical tools, learn how to move from scarcity thinking to Kingdom imagination.
