Rebuilding Spiritual Community in the Ruins: A How-To Guide
Leading into the unknown is exciting—and daunting!
Reimagining spiritual community can also feel isolating. Yes, we get to create a future that isn’t here yet. That’s exciting! But, there are no plans to follow, no guides or guidelines. That’s daunting!
This course will help you succeed. It isn’t a cookie-cutter approach. It’s a set of principles to help you design what your healthy spiritual community could be like.
Don’t go it alone! What you’re doing is important! Let’s help each other succeed.

About Me
I’m an offbeat minister who led a non-traditional church for 30 years.
My first ministry gig was a megachurch college minister in LA. Way back then I realized church wasn’t working. I started asking hard questions—that got me invited to be a minister somewhere else (somewhere faraway). I came to Raleigh to start Common Thread—a laboratory to figure out how healthy spiritual community could work. After working on it for 30 years, I learned a lot.
