In Dying We Are Born

More about the book

The author challenges the belief that every church problem has a straightforward solution, asserting that congregations must undergo a metaphorical death to foster new life and vitality. He categorizes dying congregations into those that need to close and those that require a cultural transformation. Bush emphasizes the importance of prophetic leadership in navigating this process and highlights spiritual practices that encourage congregations to embrace their mortality. Ultimately, he argues that only through this death can churches experience divine resurrection and renewal.
