"Why Did I Reimagine. Everything?"
by Phil Miglioratti "Who Is Phil Miglioratti?"
What the Revamped Reimagine.Network Now Offers You
Reimagine.Network has been reimagined.
Not simply in appearance.
Not only in the number of resources available.
Not merely in navigation.
We have revamped the way the site functions for you.
Reimagine.Network has grown into an extensive collection of 12,247 articles, blog posts, discussions, groups, photos, and videos.
For pastors, ministry leaders, church members - any Christ-follower.
But a large archive—even a very good archive—can leave you asking:
•Where do I begin?
•How do I study more than one article on my subject of interest?
•What does any of this have to do with the questions I am asking?
•How can I use what I discover with others?
•And most importantly: What might God want to change in me before I try to change my ministry?
Those questions have reshaped Reimagine.Network.
Here's what we've built for explorers.
From 12,247 Resources → to Guided Pathways
Our resources haven't disappeared.
Our best are being collated into guided pathways built around important questions, ministry concerns, biblical reflection, and practical application.
Prefer to search for something specific?
Our archive is also being made searchable through #tag Topicals.
But when you want more than a search result, our pathways help you pursue your passion-mission-vision rather than merely browse content.
We begin with questions, because better/different question lead to better/different solutions.
From Browsing → to Guided Pursuit
Reimagine.Network is no longer designed simply to help you find something to read.
It is designed to help you explore.
Our Guided Pursuit System—GPS connects questions, Scripture, prayer, articles, interviews, conversations, reflection, and action.
You don't have to know where every resource is located.
Begin with a question. Follow the pathway. See where it takes you.
Not sure where to begin?
Start. Here. NOW! — Explore our Guided Pathways.
From Information → to Formation
Information can change what we know.
Formation changes how we think, who we are becoming, and how we live.
That's why our pathways are designed to be:
Spirit-led.
We intentionally invite (prayer!) dependence upon the Holy Spirit.
Scripture-fed.
We allow God's Word to examine our assumptions and renew our thinking (listening prayer!).
Christ-centered.
We continually ask (seek and knock!):
Where is Jesus Christ in this?
The goal isn't simply to leave Reimagine.Network knowing more.
The hope is that you leave thinking differently, praying differently, discerning differently, and living and leading differently.
From Reading Alone → to Exploring Together
Our 12 Big Questions begin with a personal challenge:
Before examining your church, ministry, strategy, or organization—begin with yourself.
The Big Questions examine the explorer before the explorer examines ministry.
The journey begins by (re)Centering Christ, then explores how Christ forms me and ultimately how Christ lives through me.
Each Big Question includes its own downloadable Exploration Journal to help you pause, pray, reflect, write, and respond.
Want to explore with others?
Our Exploring the Big Questions Together — Facilitator's Guide helps you use the same material with small groups, leadership teams, ministry teams, classes, cohorts, retreats, and planning groups.
The facilitator isn't expected to be the expert with all the answers.
Explore before you facilitate.
Then help others ask, listen, discern, discuss, and respond.
From Insight → to Ministry Transformation
Personal formation is not the end of the pathway.
What Christ changes in us should eventually change how we live, lead, serve, and minister.
That's why the pathway continues.
The Big Questions examine me.
Ministry Hubs help me examine ministry by bringing related resources together around focused areas of inquiry.
Leader Labs help individuals and groups move from:
“That was interesting.”
toward:
“What will we do with what we are discovering?”
Personal exploration → Ministry exploration → Faithful practice.
So...Why Reimagine Here?
Because Reimagine.Network isn't trying merely to give you more content.
You probably already have more content than you can read.
We want to help you connect what you read with how you think, how you pray, how you discern, how you converse, and ultimately how you live and lead.
We don't tell you what to think.
We invite you to reconsider how you think about what you believe—with an open Bible, an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to follow wherever the Holy Spirit leads.
“To reimagine is not to change what we believe, but to reconsider how we think about what we believe.”
Reimagine.Network is becoming more than a categorized archive.
It is a curated network of Spirit-led, Scripture-fed pathways that help leaders think, pray, discern, discuss, and act with the mind of Christ.
