Potluck Paradigm

What if the Church was never meant to be built around programs, professionals, or performance-but around shared life, participation, and trust in God‘s abundance? Potluck Paradigm invites readers to reimagine church life through a simple but transformative vision: everyone brings what they have, no one is sidelined, and faith is practiced together in everyday life. Drawing on Scripture, global experience, and years of work with congregations across Africa, Asia, Europe, Australasia, and the Americas, the book challenges models of leadership shaped by control, scarcity, and dependency, and offers a vision grounded in facilitation, dignity, and shared responsibility. Using images such as the tetrahedron, the book explores how evangelism, discipleship, and diakonia are not separate ministries, but interconnected expressions of a life oriented toward God. Honest, hopeful, and deeply practical, this book is written for pastors, church leaders, students, and congregations who sense that something more is possible-and who are ready to discover what happens when the Church becomes less about what it offers, and more about who we become together.
