Worship and Church Life in 'Forsaken' Neighborhoods
Streaming Media
Session Description
Come to engage with the themes of pastor, hip-hop artist, and author Jonathan Brooks’ book Church Forsaken, including a profound exploration of a ‘theology of place,’ which unpacks the vocational implications of Jon Fuller’s claim that “there are no God-forsaken places, just church-forsaken places.” Explore insights from life in Christ in the neighborhoods of Chicago, Richmond, Grand Rapids, and more. Come for a session that weaves together prophetic exhortation, inspirational narratives of God’s work, and practical suggestions for fruitful ministry, including questions you can bring home to probe what an even more robust life in Christ could look like in your neighborhood.
