Out of the 4th Place

If you sense that something is wrong with church, you are right. And you are not alone.

There is a disconnect between the life of Jesus and the way most churches actually work. The pursuit of bigger buildings and stadium-quality worship bear little resemblance to Jesus' life of compassion. Church as a political force or an inward-facing club both conflict with Jesus' love for the outsider. People are finding church an unsafe place to wrestle with their very real questions. Many are abandoning the institution altogether.

What happened? Where did we go wrong? It might surprise you to learn that most of our problems are connected to one underlying reality: churches are operating in the wrong place in our society-the 4th place. What does that mean? You are about to find out.

Drawing from decades of church experience, Matt Broweleit, MDiv, teams up with former President of Communitas International, Dudley Callison, to provide a simple, yet paradigm-altering view of the modern church.

If you find yourself concerned, confused or even completely done with church, Out of the 4th Place will help you reorient yourself and find a way forward.
