The hinge of history has turned: we are no longer preparing for the future of AI - we are living in it.

We are no longer living in an era of gradual change. Between late 2024 and early 2026, the world crossed a threshold from simple chatbots to reasoning agents - machines that can now conceptualise, plan, and solve problems better than most humans. As an intense geopolitical arms race and a "Luciferian" spiritual ambition propel us toward Artificial General Intelligence, the Church faces a "Hinge Period" that will dismantle the world as we know it by 2030.

For decades, we have asked, "How do we bring people in?" But the coming season is demanding a different question: "Are we ready to be scattered?"

In The Acts 8 Moment, Dr. Christopher Peppler and Lance Peppler provide a practical and urgent action plan for church leaders. They strip away the hype to reveal:

• The Three-Driver Hypothesis: How technology, geopolitics, and spiritual forces are converging to create a "Soft Take-off" of chaotic disruption.
• T__he Technocratic Leviathan:__ Why the rise of algorithmic control and "synthetic reality" will trigger an epistemic collapse and a global crisis of meaning.
• The Theology of Scattering: How the Holy Spirit is using this disruption - just as He did in the book of Acts - to break us out of our "Jerusalem Trap" and deploy us into the harvest.

The window for preparation is closing. We cannot wait for the disruption to reach our street corners before we act. This book is your manual for building "arks" of resilience and turning the coming uncertainty into the greatest missional opportunity of the 21st century.

Read this book, gather your leaders, and prepare to turn uncertainty into harvest.
