In the Future Church book, I share seven universal principles of real church growth. These principles were sparked when I woke up at 2am in early 2016. Underlying all of these laws is the belief that what most “church growth” tools aim at is NOT real church growth.

Future Church provides a framework from which you can pivot your church away from an over-reliance on programs (especially those programs based on in-person attendance) toward a better future.

The movement that Jesus started is still breaking forth in the minds of church leaders, in the life of disciples and in the organizational make-up of churches across the country. That’s why I couldn’t be more excited about the release of Future Church and the next big master tool—Funnel Fusion.

In taking some time to process these consistent themes that connect the concepts of the Future Church book to the specific and significant challenges pastors are facing head-on right now, I want to share what I’ve come to see as the 5 Ways for Pastors to Win the Cultural Moment in 2021.

I founded the Future Church Company to bring break-thru, disciple-making clarity to church leaders in the next era of 2020-2040, based on my forthcoming book, Future Church: 7 Laws of Real Church Growth
[...]Effective leadership includes an acute awareness of context. What are people feeling? What are they thinking about? What is most important to them right now? How can I best serve them where they are today? Most times, these questions don't need Why is This Moment So Critical? There are several reasons why this particular moment is so critical to your future mission-related effectiveness. The most important one, though, can be summed up in one word: disruption. People's lives have been completely disrupted. This is Why I Wrote Future Church I've been working on a book for the last 9 months that was already going to be called Future Church: Seven Laws of Real Church Growth. What's astounded me, though, is how quickly we've [...]

I want you and your ministry to experience the benefits of stunning, God-given clarity. As a pastor turned vision coach, I’ve worked with an unprecedented variety of churches from growing mega-churches and missional communities, to mainline revitalization and church plants. I started several interconnected organizations under The Future Church Co. that help the church embody the movement that Jesus founded. My visionary planning tools, the Vision Frame and the Horizon Storyline, are used by thousands of churches every year through my calling to raise up other consultants and trainers. In 2015, I co-founded Younique to deliver gospel-centered life design through the church. In 2019, I founded Denominee to help networks and denominations reinvent how they bring value to the church. I currently provide clarity and innovation consulting directly to church teams through Pivvot. I've written six books, including Younique, Clarity Spiral, God Dreams, Innovating Discipleship, and Church Unique. I enjoy speaking about how to live a life of more meaningful progress. I live in Houston with my wife, Romy, and I have four children.
