Renewable Wellbeing: 5 culture shifts for the church

Renewable Wellbeing outlines the five ways of wellbeing as modelled in Jesus and offers a manifesto of change to help create simpler and more sustainable ways of being church in a world that desperately needs peace and hope.

Wellbeing is at the very heart of the gospel but, in well-intentioned efforts to keep activities running, are over busy churches simply burning-out and missing this peace of Jesus?

Renewable Wellbeing reveals how re-discovering the Jesus way of wellbeing is our best hope for a tired church in a broken world. Examining episodes from Jesus’ life as seen in John’s Gospel, Ruth Rice unpacks the five culture shifts she believes the church needs today to renew wellbeing in our churches: connecting with our identity, learning the new economy of the kingdom, getting active in community, taking notice of simplicity in our habits, and giving in renewable ways and sensing our call to serve.

Renewable Wellbeing is an invitation to simpler, safer and more sustainable ways of being church in a world in need of communities of wellbeing.
