This author, serving as a teaching pastor and community leader, calls people to engage in a shared story and to step out into the world to do good. Under his leadership, thousands have moved into action, culminating in redemptive movements both locally and globally. His work focuses on sparking transformational partnerships across societal domains and equipping churches for local and global impact. He also leads an innovative coaching program for mega-churches, aiming to transform them into missional movements.
Leveraging the metaphor Ori Brafman popularized in his NYT best-selling book, The Starfish and the Spider, Wegner, Ford, and Hirsch show why the distributed structures of starfish organizations are uniquely fit to the church. Seeding starfish networks inside today's churches will prepare the church of tomorrow to be agile and effective.
