Now Gareth Russell from Jersey Road is discussing that the tide is turning for Christian organizations.
The US is going post-Christian.
Europe is already post-post-Christian.
Christians need to:
- tell positive stories of what Christianity is doing.
- [missed this one]
- get really good at saying I’m sorry for Christian abuses of power.
BUT… things are shifting!
He thinks the church is in a much better place than we often describe or discuss.
- [This aligns with Kinnaman’s description of you people and men increasing their belief.)
Here’s why Christian organizations will thrive in the near future:
- Spiritual purpose will soon be thought of as better than doing good.
- Don’t tone down your Christianness
- Authenticity is a priority. It resonates with the media. The world wants authenticity.
- Authenticity is a superpower.
- Identify fosters loyalty, especially our Christian identity.
- We should be humble.
- We should be less bothered about building our brand and more bothered by building trust.
