Which ministry area needs renewed thinking, deeper discernment, or a better next step?

Choose the Ministry Area That Needs Attention
Start with the area where you sense the greatest need for renewed thinking and Spirit-led action. Each pathway can lead to articles, forums, labs, worksheets, interviews, and team conversations.
•Leadership
Leadership is not merely vision-casting or management. Christian leadership begins with submission to Christ, discernment in community, and courage to ask better questions.
Start here: Leadership resources in Formation & Learning
Go deeper: Leader Labs; Interview Insights; Strategies for #Reimagineers; Staff Retreats
•Prayer
Prayer is not merely an opening ritual or ministry department. It is the discernment atmosphere for Spirit-led, Scripture-fed ministry.
Start here: Strategic Prayer - #ReimaginePRAYER
Go deeper: Assess Your Prayer Culture; Prayer-First Leadership; #ReimaginePRAYER Tweets
•Discipleship
Disciplemaking is more than curriculum, classes, or attendance. It forms people who follow Jesus in thought, character, relationships, mission, and daily obedience.
Start here: Discipleship - #ReThinkDISCIPLESHIP
Go deeper: Biblical Worldview; Small Group Resources; Leader Labs
•Scripture
Many ministry problems are also interpretation, worldview, and assumption problems. Reimagining begins when Scripture reforms our perspectives and practices.
Start here: Scripture - #ReExamineSCRIPTURE
Go deeper: Biblical Worldview; Gospel Spectrum; Sermon Series
•Evangelism
Evangelism is not merely a method, script, campaign, or outreach event. It is faithful witness to the good news of Jesus in word, deed, relationship, hospitality, justice, and mission.
Start here: ReformatEVANGELISM
Go deeper: Gospel Spectrum; Compassion; Cities; Evangelism A-Z
•Church
The Church does not need a cosmetic update. We need to discern what must be retained, recovered, repaired, reconstructed, or released.
Start here: Church - #ReSetCHURCH
Go deeper: De-/Re-Construction Forum; Future Church; Church Reimagined / Reconfigured
•Compassion
Compassion is not an optional add-on to ministry. Mercy, justice, hospitality, and care for neighbors reveal whether ministry is being shaped by the heart and mission of Christ.
Start here: Compassion - #ReFocusCOMPASSION
Go deeper: Evangelism; Mission; Cities; ReCenter Christ
•Cities and Communities
Ministry happens somewhere. Every congregation is located in a neighborhood, community, town, suburb, city, or region with real people, real needs, and real opportunities.
Start here: Cities - #ReEngageCITIES
Go deeper: Mission; Compassion; Future Church; Community Impact
•Mission
Mission flows from the presence, purpose, and sending of Christ into every place, relationship, system, and community.
Start here: ReCenter Christ / Mission
Go deeper: Evangelism; Compassion; Cities; ReCenter Christ
Use These Pathways With Others
This hub is designed for personal discovery, but it should also spark shared discernment. Use a pathway with pastors, ministry staff, elders, boards, prayer teams, disciplemaking teams, outreach teams, small groups, or city/community ministry leaders.
For guided learning, visit: Formation & Learning for Leader Labs, Mini-Courses, Workshops, Worksheets, Staff Retreats, Sermon Series, Small Group Resources, and Interview Insights.
Continue the Pathway

Reimagination does not begin with a quick fix.
It begins with discernment, courage, and a renewed willingness to follow Christ into the future.
