Publisher's summary

For much of recent history, individuals and institutions could plan, execute, and flourish with their visions of a better world. Volatile, complex forces could be addressed and confronted with planning and management. But crisis is a great revealer. It knocks us off our thrones. It uncovers the weaknesses in our strategies and brings to light our myths and idols. Our past strategies run aground, smashed by unpredictable and chaotic waves.

Yet in the midst of the chaos of a crisis comes opportunity. The history of the church tells us that crisis always precedes renewal, and the framework of renewal offers us new ways forward. A Non-Anxious Presence shows how that renewal happens and offers churches and leaders strategic ways to awaken the church and see our culture changed for Christ.

For all to understand about this moment

This is a book that leaders and Christians need to hear to understand what’s going on today. I definitely feel like today is a gray zone, but it is perfect around forgot to get a hold of us.

An insightful analysis

I found this book really helpful in thinking through the broad cultural changes we are currently experiencing, particularly as a result of COVID. Any leader would benefit from a careful consideration of Sayer’s analysis and challenge to lead with a non-anxious presence.

Excellent

This is excellent. A balance of learning for the past but reading the new complex landscape. Practical challenge to not run from the wilderness and step into God leading forward

Great content but I really don’t like the voice

The content of this book is excellent as the author Mark Sayers always is but I wish that he would’ve read it himself because he has a great voice. The reader for the book sounded almost robotic and very flat making it hard to listen to.

A prophet for our time

I am a regular listener to Rebuilders and a huge fan of This Cultural Moment. Putting many of those streams together will a raft of new reflections makes this a must listen for pastors and other Christian leaders.
