Counter-formation is necessary in the world in order to be people who live and lead from a place of freedom.
From a place of security we can then engage culture and lead well. The cultural vacuum around us does not bend

Flourishing doesn’t happen without intentionally:

• Individuals can be redemptive forces within companies/fields/relational networks/neighborhoods/etc.
• Companies/fields/relational networks can be redemptive forces within a city toward flourishing & restoration.
