What we've heard from people and leaders all over the country
I feel tired and exhausted
I feel isolated and alone
I don't know the next steps forward for myself or the community I serve
In Capacity Re-Imagined, we focus on cultivating real rest, genuine and honest connection, and practical Christ-like ways to move forward for you and your community.
Imagine a space where you can connect honestly and openly with other Christian leaders
trying to respond to the world around us.
Imagine having the opportunity to engage God daily, to lament, to dream about what's next, to test ideas, and to be encouraged and supported by others.
Capacity Re-Imagined is a 30-day training for up to 12 people, with daily invitations to connect with God and each other. once a week, your Capacity Coaches will facilitate a group conversation over Zoom. During those 90 minute conversations, we'll discuss, listen, share, and encourage one another in our own journeys with God's grand work of restoration.
Capacity Re-Imagined costs $175/person
For a single organization bringing a group of up to 12, a group discount will be applied for a single payment of $1,600.

You can still get to our weekly practice: Memorizing Passages of the Bible!
Each week has its own focus:
Week 1
Where are we today, personally and communally?
What has been lost in recent days that brings a deep sense of sadness or disappointment?
How can we make space for appropriate grieving and lamenting over what is and is not the church these days?
How has COVID changed things, for better or worse, and what has it revealed about the “underbelly” of the American church?
Before we look ahead and imagine meaningful, Christ-like change, we must start with an honest discussion of where we as individuals, communities and society overall.
What has your experience been like this last season? What has defined your life, your community, and our society over all and where have you seen the church at play? What is worth lamenting?
Week 2
Where are we going?
What is the biblical nature and purpose of the church in the greater context of the Kingdom of God?
What is our God-given role as spiritual leaders in the body of Christ?
Why are we here and what are we called to do in this world, especially during “such a time as this”?
The body of Christ has a unique role that no other group of people can fulfill. We are called to be co-laborers in God's work to bring the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
What is the biblical purpose of the church and us as Christ-followers? What is Jesus' invitation and call for us? What has the body of Christ done well and not in this past season? What does real rest look like for you?
Week 3
What needs to change?
Where have we missed the mark or fallen short as a church?
What would it look like to literally “change our minds” (Gk, metanoia)?
How do we think about moving forward and articulating where we are going?
What are the specific challenges and opportunities set before us, and how will we implement the “Jesus method” of change?
"People just don't like change..." We hear this often but meaningful change starts with the small, simple steps. We'll explore how Jesus fosters, invites, and trains us into deeper Kingdom life. Jesus understands how change happens better than anyone and he demonstrates it through scripture.
What are your barriers to growing? What might you be willing to try and what do you need to say no to? It's near impossible to grow in our life with God if our life is so filled with to-do's and stuff that we can't grow at all.
Week 4
How do we get where we want to go?
What are some of the “new wineskins” God is calling the church to employ at this point in time?
How can we cultivate a culture that is increasingly receptive to “holy experiments” or “rapid prototyping” (nimble, agile, flexible, good spiritual reflexes)?
How do we do so within our primary spheres of influence (family, friends, neighbors, co-workers)?
What can we do today to recover the practice of vibrant, generous, authentic hospitality as a distinguishing mark of those Christian communities that are actively engaged in faithful and effective disciple-making?
What does following Jesus look like moving forward? How do we impact and serve our community? How we do what we do is as important as what we do and where we lead others. We'll talk about and test out our Holy Experiments - ways to respond to God's desire to change our lives and the lives of our neighbors.
