Timely chat on leading prophetically.

Dr Bruce Birch and I talk Bible, Church, and Exile. Timely?

Brandon Harris is the Chief Operating Officer at Generis, a company designed to help the local church with funding their vision.

Feedback welcome.

My conversation on leadership in the church is with a retired Marine who is a Gettysburg Guide. I am aided in our conversation by two pastors who have walked Gettysburg and Antietam with him.

Listen and if it speaks, share?

Great conversation with Mandy McDow (@revmama.bsky.social) about Los Angeles First UMC (@lafirstumc.bsky.social) and other of her leadership experiences. Adaptive, creative, gentle, compassionate.

You are most welcome to share if this speaks to you.

Al Strauss has been the Chair of the Trustees for the Mountain Sky Conference of the United Methodist Church. This is a revisit to his (abbreviated) presentation at Annual Conference. Applicable to other levels of church leadership.

An excellent conversation with a person of faith leading beyond the walls. A powerful ministry!

In the era of diminishing congregations and dying denominations, I have the opportunity to pastor a church in a way that lives out Jesus’ teachings in the most authentic way imaginable. Thank you to @Sojourners for sharing the story of @LAFirstUMC.

"Hope gives us the capacity to interrogate the present, to raise questions, to probe for possibility. Hope isn't invulnerable. It is capacious enough to encompass the disappointments & sufferings of the present. Hope does not know the answer as much as it enables us to live amidst the unanswerable."
