Disciplines of Hope : Generating Faith in the Future for an Anxious Age

Learn how to lead in uncertain times, build resilience, and generate credible hope when chaos threatens—using practical faith-based leadership tools and AI-powered imagination to navigate the future with confidence.

You''re facing unprecedented chaos. Faith and hope are collapsing worldwide. The institutions, norms, and alliances that once felt stable are fracturing. As a leader—in business, government, nonprofits, or faith communities—you''re struggling to inspire confidence in any future at all. Your people can''t work toward futures they can''t imagine or trust futures they haven''t been invited to shape.

What you need is a new path forward. This book gives you practical tools to generate credible hope when everything feels uncertain:

• The Credible Hope Compass—a practical framework for making leadership decisions when faith has been weaponized and hope feels naive
• Methods to use generative AI to envision alternative futures and expand your team''s imagination
• Faith-enhanced leadership practices that move you beyond denial or despair into action

Following two personas navigating leadership in chaos, Johansen, Doyle, and Kirshbaum show you how to treat imagination as a leadership practice and make repair something visible, communal, and real. You''ll learn to generate and share calm trust in futures worth striving for—giving your people the credible hope they desperately need.
