Transforming a church from an attractional institution into a missional movement requires deep, systematic realignment of language, budgets, and reporting systems. Wegner maps the 15 "tectonic shifts" that move a community from maintaining programs to equipping people, from measuring seating capacity to measuring sending capacity. A reader evaluates their church's institutional health, identifies life-support symptoms, and executes practical strategic moves that release the church into the neighborhood.
Rob Wegner is one of the most networked figures in the contemporary North American microchurch and church-multiplication conversation. For roughly **a quarter-century at Granger Community Church** in northern Indiana — under founding pastor Mark Beeson — he served as **Teaching Pastor / Pastor of Life Mission**, with a brief from the senior team to "call the people of God to get out of their seat and into the Story" (per [robwegner.org/about](https://robwegner.org/about/)). During that period he co-led EnterMission, partnered with **Alan Hirsch** to start the **Future Travelers** coaching program for megachurches becoming missional movements, co-authored *Missional Moves* (Zondervan, 2012) with Granger colleague Jack Magruder, and went to India repeatedly with his wife **Michelle Wegner** and their three daughters to document a Granger-seeded grassroots church-planting movement that grew to over 120,000 disciples in 950+ churches across southern India. That India experience reshaped his ecclesial vision and produced *Share the Well*, the photo-essay book he and Michelle co-authored.
