About this listen

What if the rise of secularism is good news for the church?

For decades, we set our hopes on technology, politics, and the appearance of peace. We wanted to believe we were headed somewhere better - that progress was happening. But now, as our technology ensnares and isolates us, our politics threaten to tear us apart and our cultural decline continues to accelerate, people are understandably distressed.

But throughout history, these periods of decline traditionally precede powerful spiritual renewal - and even revival. What if all the bad news in this world is actually good news for the church?

Discover why there's reason to be wildly hopeful and how to prepare yourself and your church to be a part of renewal now and in the future.

Great cultural commentator, good book

I enjoyed listening to this: Mark Sayers is a bit of an expert on what is going on in the post-Christian culture and the journey of how we’ve got here. This book is an intellectually stimulating response to our culture and a vision of hope for renewal in our society, and guess what - it starts and ends with Jesus.

Would have like to hear more of the author’s experiences; I sometimes felt like it was too “heady”, but it’s definitely worth a listen if you want to see God’s kingdom come!

Insightful analysis of contemporary culture

Sayers combines a thorough analysis of history and the characteristics of past awakenings with a piercing analysis of the dominant cultures in the West. Well worth it for anyone committed to seeing the church reappear as a meaningful force in our society.

Interesting premise, boring book :-(

I was excited to read this book as it seemed to be along the lines of what I’ve been thinking about Church and what’s happening within it. Unfortunately, the content is so dry and ‘intellectual’ that you need to already know what he’s talking about to follow it... no context to hang the detail on or to help understanding and we just ended up giving up and returning the book for a credit. Disappointing.
