Imagine a world where Christianity is on the brink of collapse, where the once vibrant faith is now reduced to a hollow shell of its former self. A world where the younger generation is fleeing the church in droves, and the remaining faithful are left to fight a desperate battle against the rising tide of secularism. This is the world we live in today, and it's a world that is eerily reminiscent of the Dark Ages that followed the fall of Rome. But there is hope. In the midst of this chaos, a new way forward is emerging - a way that draws on the wisdom of the ancient church and the authority of Scripture. This is the Benedict Option, a strategy that calls on Christians to embrace exile from mainstream culture and build a resilient counterculture that can withstand the coming storm. It's a call to arms, a rallying cry for all Christians - Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox - to come together and build a new kind of community, one that is rooted in faith, hope, and love. The Benedict Option is not a recipe for withdrawal from the world, but a blueprint for building strong arks that can navigate the treacherous waters of our post-Christian world. It's a vision for a new kind of Christianity, one that is vibrant, resilient, and determined to thrive in the face of adversity. The question is, will you join the journey?
