Christian Leadership in Palestine?
Nov 15, 2007
President Bush is trying to relaunch the roadmap to peace in the Middle East. For over 25 years I have worked in the area of developing global Christian leadership. Of all the leaders I have met on my travels, Rev. Dr. Naim Ateek has impacted me the most. His focus on nonviolence to settle the Israeli-Palestinian crisis emerges from his personal life in the Gospel of Jesus. Raised in Nazareth, he now lives in Jersalem, speaking truth to power, and demonstrating peace. Catch this feature on his leadership style, provoked by recent criticism that he is anti-Semitic. Then ask yourself, what would Jesus do as a Palestinian Christian leader to create the future? --Jay Gary
 

Out of the Corner of God's Eye
Nov 5, 2007
Are you ashamed of Christian leaders who act up, and operate from egocentric levels? Shouldn't we in leadership development distinguish between spiritual states and psychological stages? Jay Gary blogs on the future of spirituality, postmodernism, integral theory and Ken Wilber's writings.
 

Do You Hear Voices in Your Head?
April 16, 2007
It is not normal to hear voices in your head, at least in my culture. Yet many of my friends claim to. Recently I took a journey into the 'prophetic.' Now as a futurist, it has left me with more questions, than answers. 

Is Faith a Change Driver?
April 2, 2007
What role does faith play in changing society? In creating or evaluating new innovations? Jay Gary shares a blog entry on patterns of social change and the Molitor Model.  

Paradise Now--A Call to Peace
Jun 21, 2006
Two childhood friends must make the ultimate decision about how to end the occupation of their homeland. With explosives strapped to their bodies, two young Palestinians wrestle with God, with each other and with their own conscience to act with courage. Paradise Now is a must see movie for any Christian who wants a future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
 

Missional Church-- Minimal Thinking?
Apr 3, 2006
Is the missional church paradigm inadvertantly breeding minimal thinking? I just returned from the 4th annual gathering of the Association of Professional Futurists. Here are my observations on how you can grow as a futurist beyond the domains of ecclesiology and missiology.
 

Is Evangelism Religious Abuse?
Jun 9, 2005
As a futurist I've been tracking the future of evangelism in American public life, whether in the workplace, school or government. Three years ago most of my scan hits related evangelism with religious freedom. Now they frame evangelism as religious bias. What are we to think?
