In this dynamic episode, we explore the Pentagon framework with Eun K. Strawser, acclaimed author, pastor, and consultant. Eun invites us to reimagine leadership and the diversity of gifts that body of Christ needs to thrive. We also explore how these gifts can be applied in everyday life, emphasizing the importance of equipping the church to serve the community rather than just itself. Grab a notepad because this episode is full of rich insights!
