ABSTRACTHow Shame Shapes Church Planting: Exploring Impacts on Gospel ReceptivityAmong Emerging AdultsbyRobert Mark MontgomeryThe American context is a rapidly moving target in this post-Christian era. It is All church planters and leaders should constantly watch for signs of significant cultural change that will require them to adjust their understanding on how to contextualize the gospel. Denominational leaders and local church pastors are frustrated by the increasing resistance of Americans to the gospel, the infrequency of church attendance, and the ineffectiveness of their outreach programs. Psychologists, sociologists, and theologians are calling our their attention to the emerging impact of shame in their recent writings. Shame dynamics overlapping in individuals, households, and social groups may be significant factors impacting gospel receptivity and attraction to the institutional church. Narcissism and its conforming culture of shame has been normalized in western civilization. American emerging adults are becoming more shame impacted. The Church needs to be well-informed and equipped to address the dynamics of shame compounded by narcissism. Since attractional, established churches are not highly relational, and are bewildered by low church attendance, a significant recalibration may be needed. My project is "How Shame Shapes Church Planting." My purpose statement is "to develop best practices that shape church planting used by leaders in the Southeastern United States Districts of the Church of the Nazarene by exploring how western shame dynamics impact gospel receptivity among unreached emerging adults." The literature review accessed seventy-seven resources across many disciplines with a total of 225 works consulted. In the field research mixed-methods design, forty emerging adults completed surveys, eighteen church leaders participated in interviews, and nine church planters participated in focus groups. The Shame Factor: How Shame Shapes Society (Jewett) is representative of a growing number of thinkers who are developing a "theology of shame" over the last two decades. This project works toward a robust missiology of shame leading to an ecclesiology of shame, that provides a compelling rationale for incarnational missional approaches to evangelism and networking and mentoring methods of church planting reminiscent of Celtic Mission and Wesley's evangelical awakening. For contemporary church leaders, the project advocates for a retooling of approaches to engaging and discipling emerging adults, broadening the use of atonement theories to include Christus Victor, incorporating a trinitarian and original image of humanness as vision into gospel presentations, and looking at redemption as healing and rehumanizing. Shaping church planting can also employ the four cycles of appreciative inquiry (AI): discover, dream, design, and deploy, along with prayer to God for wisdom as the priesthood of all believers. Shame-safe new congregations that nurture and mentor emerging adults may be characterized by trust, safety, vulnerability, belonging, and affirmation.
