Everything Must Change Tour

My husband Steve and I were privileged to attend Brian McLaren's Everything Must Change Tour this past weekend in Dallas. Through conversation, presentation, art, music, and reflection, we explored how the way of Jesus can bring transformation in our contemporary world...locally, nationally, and globally.In McLaren's new book "Everything Must Change" he says " 'We Are In Deep Shift'--A time of transition, rethinking, re-imagining, and re-envisioning. A time for asking new questions and seeking answers that are both new and old fresh and seasoned surprising and familiar."The weekend attempted to answer these questions.What does it mean, in today’s world, to be a follower of God in the way of Jesus?What does it mean to be a faith community engaged in the holistic, integral mission of God in our world today?How do we, as individuals and organizations, respond faithfully to the crises facing our world?What is our duty to God, ourselves, our families, our neighbors, our enemies, and our planet in light of Jesus’ radical message of the kingdom of God?How can we engage in personal formation and theological reformulation for global transformation?Living in "deep shift" can be exhilarating and energizing, but it can also be disorienting and frightening.Deep Shift was created to provide spiritual guidance for organizations. Deep Shift provides support as leaders make their own personal deep shift and guide their organizations through the transition and transformation necessary to ignite the loving energy of people to work for the good of the world: coaching, consulting, and resources for people leading in deep shift — faith community and church leaders, nonprofit leaders, ethical business leaders and others.For more details, visit the website at: http://www.deepshift.org.There is also a video of Brian McLaren explaining the tour available at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3QpTQfENoYCEA Web Site: www.christianeducator.org
