Meet my friend Jared Nichols. Jared and I went to college together, and then moved into a neighborhood-based house church with our families. We were even in a graduate program together, in an odd field called Strategic Foresight. For more of our back-story, go here.
Jared and I recently sat down together to talk Foresight, and how a new relationship to the future can transform our relationship to ministry, activism, and art. Here it is…
In this first video, we talk about how take the ‘future’ from the great unknown to the realm of the possible—even ‘wild card’ futures!
How can ministers, artists, and activists move from overwhelm to empowerment? From stress to play?
Strategic Foresight can help your creativity, organizing, and ministry – this is an exciting conversation!

How do artists, activists, ministers, and faith communities apply future-ready faith to:

- Create more just and humane immigration practices?
- Overhaul our economic systems?
- Grow our faith communities with those who really want to be here?

I’m an artist. An activist. A minister. A change-maker.
