2020s Foresight by Sine Tom

In 2020s Foresight, authors Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen seek to "wake up" Christian leaders and those whom they serve to the realities that leaders in other fields must deal with all the time. We are no longer simply living in changing times. We live in the reality that we are racing into a new world of accelerating change. The authors want to enable leaders in churches and Christian organizations to learn how to lead in this time of acceleration. They focus on three vital practices: foresight (analyzing the accelerating changes and anticipating new opportunities and strategies for addressing change); reflection (discerning biblical purposes for times like these); and creating innovative ways to engage new challenges so as to advance God's purposes in our lives, congregations, and organizations in the 2020s.

The book is intended to equip Christian leaders to anticipate some of the new challenges in the 2020s; discover God's shalom purposes for our lives, the church, and God's world; and create innovative new possibilities for our lives, communities, and congregations that both engage new opportunities and advance God's purposes.

Dwight J. Friesen is a practical theologian and professor at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology, where he trains future church leaders and offers transformational, immersive New Parish continuing education experiences for professionals. He also serves with Parish Collective, an international Christian organization that helps leaders and their groups recover the parish (neighborhood) as the natural platform by which the local church participates in whole-life discipleship in the Jesus Way. He is the author of four other books.
