Dr. Rick McEdward - Rise or Demise: Status of God’s Movement in an Era of Insanity

In his presentation, Dr. Rick Edwards takes an honest look at the challenges and opportunities facing the global church in what he describes as an “era of insanity.” From the rise of artificial intelligence and shifting cultural values to the realities of post-Christian societies and changing patterns of church growth, he challenges ministry leaders to think deeply about what it really means to make disciples today. Rather than focusing only on programs or attendance, this message emphasizes the importance of authentic community, personal transformation, and mission-driven leadership. You’ll also hear inspiring stories of innovation and evangelism happening in some of the most difficult places in the world, reminding us that God is still moving powerfully through ordinary people willing to say yes to His calling. More than anything, this session is a call for the church to move beyond maintenance mode and boldly engage the world with the hope of Jesus. Whether you’re serving locally or thinking globally, this is an encouraging perspective on how the church can remain faithful, creative, and mission-focused in a rapidly changing world.
