About this book
Feeling the weight of empty sanctuaries and the fading echoes of the past? Are you a pastor or church leader wrestling with the question: What is the church becoming? You're not alone. The traditional model of church in America is undeniably changing, leaving many wondering if there's a future beyond the familiar.
This isn't a book offering easy answers or a five-step plan to revive what was. Instead, Holy Disruption: A Manifesto for the Future of Faith Communities steps alongside you in this uncharted territory. Authors Amy Butler (Beautiful and Terrible Things) & Dawn Darwin Weaks (Breakthrough), two "die-hard clergywomen," refuse to believe that decline is the final word. They understand the grief and the humbling reality of what's dying – "large sanctuaries with crowds of people listening to grand organs, boisterous choirs, and manuscript preachers; the privileged influence of being 'the place to be' at 11 am on Sunday mornings; plentiful volunteers" – but they also share a stubborn faithfulness in searching for what comes next.
Imagine a world where the gospel is wildly effective in new and surprising ways. This manifesto dares to ask: What if the definition of "church" expanded beyond four walls and Sunday mornings to encompass any community doing gospel work?
