A Non-Anxious Presence

How a Changing and Complex World Will Create a Remnant of Renewed Christian Leaders

By: Mark Sayers

Narrated by: Matthew Baker

For much of recent history, individuals and institutions could plan, execute, and flourish with their visions of a better world. Volatile, complex forces could be addressed and confronted with planning and management. But crisis is a great revealer. It knocks us off our thrones. It uncovers the weaknesses in our strategies and brings to light our myths and idols. Our past strategies run aground, smashed by unpredictable and chaotic waves.

Yet in the midst of the chaos of a crisis comes opportunity. The history of the church tells us that crisis always precedes renewal, and the framework of renewal offers us new ways forward. A Non-Anxious Presence shows how that renewal happens and offers churches and leaders strategic ways to awaken the church and see our culture changed for Christ.

An insightful analysis

I found this book really helpful in thinking through the broad cultural changes we are currently experiencing, particularly as a result of COVID. Any leader would benefit from a careful consideration of Sayer’s analysis and challenge to lead with a non-anxious presence.

A Necessary Read

This book is necessary right now—it is precisely the time to read and precisely the message the church needs. If you want to distinguish the way forward for your leadership, this is a great first step!

Excellent

This is excellent. A balance of learning for the past but reading the new complex landscape. Practical challenge to not run from the wilderness and step into God leading forward

For all to understand about this moment

This is a book that leaders and Christians need to hear to understand what’s going on today. I definitely feel like today is a gray zone, but it is perfect around forgot to get a hold of us.

Really good overview of present times

Brilliant story, and easy facts, really good. I had literally 100 aha moments listening to this book
