[featured_image]Recently, our OC U.S. team had a lengthy dialogue on significant trends in the U.S. using the STEEPER trends framework. I was unfamiliar with this approach, but I found it very helpful.
So, I thought I would post the same questions we discussed and see what everyone out there who reads this blog sees as trends. Please consider the following categories and post your comments!
Social:
Technological:
Economic:
Environmental:
Political:
Ethnic:
Religious:
After a few comments, I’ll add from our team discussion as well….
Here are the key questions:
- What are the significant trends in the U.S.? (using STEEPER outline)
- How are those trends affecting church leaders?
- What are the implications of those trends for your ministry?
