About this episode
Mark discusses the cultural shift towards alternative beliefs becoming mainstream and its implications for church mission.
A massive cultural shift has happened in the background—and most of us missed it. Mark unpacks the rise of what he calls the "mystical magical middle": a world where sceptical rationalism is fading, alternative is mainstream, and the people walking through your church doors now believe stranger things than you do. What does mission look like in this new terrain?➡️ For subscriber chats and resources, head to rebuilders.co
