Curated Resources on Adaptive vs. Technical Challenges

Some challenges are straightforward. We need to replace the battery in our car. We need to equip the sanctuary for live-streaming. Some are much more complex—so complex that not only are we unsure what we need to do, we don't know how or why. For example:

  • How do we cultivate deep Christian faith in a post-Christian world?
  • How do we address the crisis of polarization and tribalism in our communities?
  • How do we find hope in the midst of chaos?
Yet these are precisely the kinds of challenges disciples and leaders are called to face every day. These resources will help give you a start.
