← Creating a Brave Space for Writers to Flourish

Our Writing Collective Vision

Our Writing Collective creates a safe space for brave conversations to flourish through deep theological reflection, perceptive cultural analysis, and an honest witness as the global Church.

We focus our writing on the integration of three areas: formation, justice, and mission. This space (primarily digital in nature) exists to create a shared sense of common meaning and relational connection as followers of the Way of Jesus across the global Church in an increasingly fragmented, lonely, and confusing world. We desire for this space to have five core elements:

  1. We seek to create a diverse space – One where voices and perspectives that emerge from a place of historic Christian orthodoxy, and yet tend to be marginalized within broader Christian discourse, can be clearly developed, platformed, and heard. In particular, the voices of women, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), and global voices from the Majority World outside of North America will be platformed.
  2. We seek to create a hospitable space – One that winsomely, yet poignantly, invites robust discussion as opposed to shutting people down, even while holding to core theological truths and deep-seated biblical convictions. This hospitable space can foster a prophetic witness that heals the local church everywhere.
  3. We seek to create an integrated space – One where substantive theological reflection emerges from and is oriented toward healthy ministry practices, with a particular emphasis on the integration of a maturing spiritual formation, a holistic pursuit of justice, and the reimagining of healthy missional postures.
  4. We seek to create a resourceful space – One where Christian leaders who minister in diverse, localized contexts can offer and find tangible tools, reflective practices, and a robust community that is maturing in all aspects of their Kingdom engagement.
  5. We seek to create a hopeful space – One where the deeply perfect love of God, our Friend, is at work within us, the Church, in this cultural moment, in a manner that bears faithful witness to the story of restoration that has taken place throughout human history, and is bending towards an integrated wholeness in the age to come.
