Leveraging the metaphor Ori Brafman popularized in his NYT best-selling book, The Starfish and the Spider, Wegner, Ford, and Hirsch show why the distributed structures of starfish organizations are uniquely fit to the church. Seeding starfish networks inside today's churches will prepare the church of tomorrow to be agile and effective.
The book explores the concept of community as a central aspect of the Christian journey, emphasizing that Christ's call is not a solitary one but rather an invitation to embark on a shared path with others. It delves into the significance of fellowship, the support found in communal faith, and the transformative power of collective spiritual growth. Through this lens, readers are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences of community within their faith journeys.
