What if our differences were never the problem? Differences are the root of both division and diversity, and Ben Nelson explores how what we choose to do with them determines whether they divide us or make us stronger together. Ben Nelson is a speaker, community builder, author, and consultant who helps people and organizations turn division into durable unity. He is the founding pastor of Collectivus Church, a diverse faith community where he has helped pioneer a decentralized, neighborhood-based model with missional communities across the greater Birmingham area and beyond. Ben also serves as President of Pray Love Unite, a 501(c)(3), and is the cofounder and president of Mission Bulgaria, a long-term initiative focused on helping marginalized communities thrive while building bridges of faith, dignity, trust, and unity across deep cultural divides. He is the author of Proper Perspective, The Room with the Garden View and the upcoming A Field Guide to Unity. Across sixteen years of nonprofit work in Eastern Europe, local church leadership, and coaching leaders through conflict, Ben is known for turning big ideas into clear frameworks people can apply in families, workplaces, and communities.
