THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.
THE CHURCH MUST CHANGE TOO--BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
We live in an age defined by disruption--artificial intelligence, digital tribalism, decentralization. In our posttruth culture too many leaders cling to outdated models, unsure how to engage a world that has already moved on. Is this the end--or the beginning of something new?
Terry Parkman, DMin, recognizes the opportunity within the chaos. With today's cultural, technological, and spiritual paradigms shifting faster than ever, this moment demands more than a few tweaks. It demands transformation. In Future Church, Terry boldly calls leaders to rethink how the Church engages the next generations without diluting the Gospel. With clarity and conviction, he unpacks how leaders can ride the waves of disruption rather than drown beneath them.
This is a field guide for those ready to:
- Understand why the old maps don't work in a posttruth, postinstitutional world.
- Reframe discipleship for the Adaptive Age without compromising orthodoxy.
- Embrace decentralization as a model, not the enemy.
- Recognize and activate the missional power of Generations Z, Alpha, and Beta.
- Build flexible, Spirit-led systems that thrive in cultural upheaval.
- Leverage disruption to serve, not silence, the Gospel.
This isn't deconstruction. It's a blueprint for what comes next. The message hasn't changed, but everything else must.
THE FUTURE ISN'T SOMETHING WE NEED TO FEAR. IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE CALLED TO LEAD.
