The Future Church is Nonviolent (Jarrod McKenna | FC Conference Keynote)

About This Series Over six weeks, we're sharing keynote talks and discussions from the second Future Church Conference, held at the Tram Sheds in Glebe. This gathering brought together church leaders, pastors, and Jesus-followers passionate about creating safer, more inclusive faith communities.

Whether you're leading church, leaving church, unsure about the whole thing, or just curious about what the future might hold, these conversations explore what it means to reimagine church for everyone.

Conference Posture Future Church Conference invited participants to adopt three key postures:

• Lean in - Sit with discomfort and ask why certain ideas trigger us
• Listen - Hear vulnerable ideas from speakers and connect with each other
• Look forward - Focus on future possibilities rather than past wounds

What You'll Hear: Jarrod McKenna makes the case for nonviolence as central to following Jesus amidst the serious challenges of life on planet earth in our current moment. 

About the Speaker: Jarrod McKenna is a peace activist, pastor, and founding director of Common Grace. He's a co-host of the Inverse podcast and a pastor at Steeple Church. He challenges the church to embrace Jesus' radical call to nonviolence in a world marked by conflict and division. Listen to more of Jarrod's story on this episode of Spiritual Misfits.
