The Praxis Gathering 2018 is pleased to announce that Deb Hirsch, Australian-born writer and speaker, will be joining us to Re-Imagine Leadership this year. Deb is a beloved addition to our list of presenters and speaks from a place of experienced and practiced wisdom. She is among the best on-the-ground church planters and practitioners to furnish us with the possibilities for lighting a path ahead in our churches, in our neighborhoods, and in our world.
Meet Deb Hirsch
Deb Hirsch is a speaker, church leader, and writer who has led churches in both Australia and Los Angeles.
She is one of the founders of Forge Mission Training Network and is a member of the Forge America national team. She also serves as a board member for Missio Alliance and was part of the leadership team of Christian Associates, a church planting movement in Europe, North & South America.
She is the co-author (with Alan Hirsch) of Untamed: Reactivating a Missional Form of Discipleship, and her book Redeeming Sex reflects her own journey and attempts to bring new conversations about sexuality into the context of the church. Deb has been involved in social work, community development and as a trained counselor has worked in the field of sexuality for over twenty-five years. She and her husband live in community with others in Los Angeles.
At The Praxis Gathering she will be presenting on these important leadership topics:
Activating Female Agency
ALL of God’s people need to be activated for us to be a movement of God. Old scripts and language need to change. Women and men both play dynamic roles in creating a new tomorrow. We need to get beyond the false binary between egalitarian and complementarian and address the real issue of equal agency.
The Presence of a Leader
Leadership from without starts with leadership from within…at the level of spirituality. We will look at what it means to be present to God, to oneself, as well as present to the other. This requires being centered, authentic, and vulnerable. Presence comes when a leader is secure in their calling, capacity, and gifting.
