And many leaders are trying to determine a way to lean into this discontent to enact Kingdom transformation in and through local churches. This process of transformation can also be considered a movement. This brief yet brilliant session from TED2010 shows, in very simple terms, how to start a movement of your own.

With help from some surprising footage, Derek Sivers explains how movements really get started. (Hint: it takes two.)

Social theorist Jonathan Zittrain begs to difffer. The Internet, he suggests, is made up of millions of disinterested acts of kindness, curiosity and trust. This is from the amazing team over at TED.com from a TEDGlobal event at Oxford. Have a look.

The Internet is inherently a selfless medium. Sure it’s jam packed full of capitalism and greedy, but it is becoming a place of true connectedness and sharing.

If that’s the case with such sites as Wikipedia and Tripadvisor and all manners of behind the scenes policing, what does that mean for the sharing of information? Actually, not just just sharing but collaboration and sacrifice for the good of the whole.

What if all of the information in the heads of leaders like you was effectively and ‘wisely’ shared with everyone else? What if your story – your personal narrative – was the stuff needed to help out hundreds, thousands, millions of others along their own journey?

That is the hope of Leaders Village. Will you sacrifice? What’s holding you back?
