Talk with the ideas

The AI Lab is grounded in four decades of Alan’s books, articles, and teaching — a space to think through questions of mission, formation, and the Christ-shaped life. Ask about mDNA, APEST, discipleship, or anything you’re wrestling with. The conversation meets you where you are.

Everything the church needs for movement is already within it — placed there by a risen Christ, waiting to be remembered.

Where courses become formation

Every course is built on four necessities — dissonance, reflection, practice, and community — because transformation happens when teaching meets obedience and obedience meets the body of Christ.

  • Productive dissonance
  • Guided reflection
  • Real-world practice
  • Community formation

About Alan Hirsch

Alan Hirsch is known for helping the church recover its apostolic nature — and rediscover movement as its native expression. His work centers on a Christological conviction: the risen Christ already coded into his church everything it needs for movement. Our task is recovery, not invention. From leading a missional community in Melbourne’s inner city to shaping networks across six continents, Alan’s journey reflects the theology he teaches — lived practice inseparable from deep reflection. His current work focuses on translating four decades of frameworks, writing, and teaching into formational resources that equip leaders wherever they are.
