Alan Hirsch

Alan Hirsch is widely considered to be something of an original thought-leader for the church in the West. He is author of numerous award-winning books on movements, organization, and leadership, including: The Forgotten Ways; The Shaping of Things to Come, ReJesus and The Faith of Leap (with Michael Frost); Untamed (with Debra Hirsch); Right Here, Right Now (with Lance Ford); On the Verge (with Dave Ferguson); The Permanent Revolution, The Permanent Revolution Playbook (with Tim Catchim), and 5Q, which provides a scripturally rich way for leaders committed to equipping and releasing the church into God’s redemptive purposes to assess and develop strategy and resources.

Alan is also founder of Forge Mission Training Network, 100 Movements, Future Travelers. He teaches extensively across North America, Europe, and Australia. His experience includes leading a local church movement among the marginalized, developing training systems for innovative missional leadership, and heading up the mission and revitalization work of his denomination.

He is married to Deb and lives in Los Angeles.
