About this listen

For much of recent history, individuals and institutions could plan, execute, and flourish with their visions of a better world. Volatile, complex forces could be addressed and confronted with planning and management. But crisis is a great revealer. It knocks us off our thrones. It uncovers the weaknesses in our strategies and brings to light our myths and idols. Our past strategies run aground, smashed by unpredictable and chaotic waves.

Yet in the midst of the chaos of a crisis comes opportunity. The history of the church tells us that crisis always precedes renewal, and the framework of renewal offers us new ways forward. A Non-Anxious Presence shows how that renewal happens and offers churches and leaders strategic ways to awaken the church and see our culture changed for Christ.

I found the analysis to be somewhat bland and predictable. I expected more than a range of platitudes and shallow observations about the current state of the world. The title is misleading.

Mark Sayers brilliantly analyses and unpacks the cultural moment we are in and leans into the writings of other brilliant writers from our day to construct a wise, insightful and revelatory exploration of the solutions that leaders within the church must understand to be able to take the church forward.
