Q Studies are a new, yet historical way to explore issues of faith and culture in the context of an action-oriented, group-learning environment. Based off of the Society Room movement of the late 1600's in England-small gatherings of leaders would convene, dialogue, learn and work together to renew their culture. Q studies are based on this rich history and designed to challenge participant's innermost beliefs and preconceived ideas about life, faith, the world and their cultural responsibility. This five-session DVD study will guide your group to examine your beliefs, change your paradigm, and take action. Approx. 80 minutes.

Following the example of the 'Society Rooms' of the late 1600's and the Clapham Circle of the early 1800's, Q Society Rooms are designed to gather small groups of leaders to dialogue, learn, and work together to explore how to express the Christian faith in a post-Christian culture. A Participant's Book, Leader's DVD and Guide, and a group project complete the Q Society experience, which will challenge every participant's innermost beliefs and pre-conceived ideas about life, faith, the world, and cultural responsibility. In Engaging Post-Christian Culture: Our Mission in a New Context, host Gabe Lyons and DVD presenters Os Guiness, Alan Hirsch, and Andy Crouch explore the post-modern, post-Christian, and post-American world, where the church is no longer placed at the center of society. What should the church look like, and how does the mission of the church adapt within this context? In this Q Society Room experience, your group will be challenged to investigate the mission of Christians in a new reality. Engaging Post-Christian Culture: Our Mission in a New Context group meetings include: Group Meeting One -- Video: Os Guinness | Third Mission to the West Group Meeting Two -- Essay: Jon Tyson | Missional Communities Group Meeting Three -- Video: Alan Hirsch | Post-Christendom Mission Group Meeting Four -- Video: Andy Crouch | Why We Can't Change the World Group Meeting Five -- Group Project and Discussion
