Church is no longer working the way it used to.
The stress of holding up the institution is costing us our energy for sharing the Gospel.
Most of us know this and we’re:
a) in denial
b) panicking
c) just not sure what to do about it
If you’re a c), Free Range Priest is for you.
Denominations, congregations and clergy reach out to me all the time:
‘Here’s what’s falling apart. What do I do?’
I want to help everyone - and I can’t.
I can’t afford all the hours in my day, and honestly, they can’t afford a lot of 1-1 time with me either.
So I decided to use this space to share everything I’ve discovered about the future of church from a quarter century of priesthood - and a decade of being Free Range - in ‘bite sized’ ways,
to bring the most (thriving, joyful) church to the most (ready for holy adventure) people.
