The Forgotten Ways
Reactivating the missional DNA already in your people
Recover the six elements the risen Christ coded into his church — and name what has been suppressing them in your context.
By the end you will
The full course, self-paced. Begin today and keep it — including every future revision.
How the weeks work
Four necessities, every week
Every week runs the same loop. In self-paced mode the fourth necessity is carried by the discussion board and by whoever you choose to walk this with — bring someone.
Dissonance
The week opens with a teaching and a question that is deliberately not resolved for you.
Reflection
A private guided conversation that holds the tension and surfaces what you actually believe.
Practice
One embodied step, small enough to happen this week, specific enough to be asked about.
Community
The cohort board, open to pathway walkers, plus whoever you bring with you.
The arc
8 weeks, one movement
The church in the West is not failing for lack of resources. It is failing because it has forgotten what it already carries.

Where it comes from
The Forgotten Ways (2006, rev. 2016)
Every reading, case and prompt in this course is drawn from the published corpus. Nothing here is invented for the format — the course is the book taught the way it was meant to be learned: in practice, with others.
