Exponential NEXT Podcast

This webinar will aim to dig deeper into the varying perspectives that we have as people of different ethnicities to see what we can learn from each other. In particular, we ask the pointed question: What would people of color want white leaders to know, that they don’t know?

Following the conversation with Bryan, you will have the opportunity to submit your questions during our live, interactive conversation.

The Frontlines program seeks to encourage and equip pastors and planters to better understand and navigate the current and future trends in church ministry. Hosted by veteran church multiplication leaders, each episode invites thought leaders and advanced practitioners in ministry to inform and inspire pastors and planters as they continue in day-to-day ministry.

The uncertainty, stress, and loneliness affecting church planters and pastors seems like it is at an all-time high. Each week, church leaders are faced with more and more complex issues to solve and decisions to make. And, even the best decisions made by church leadership teams seem to only result in more uncertainty and questioning by their congregation. This twelve episode, weekly show will host conversations on the current issues church leaders are facing. Being on the frontlines of Kingdom advancement as pastor or church planter is a constant barrage of uncertainty and challenges.

Join us for the Episode 2 with co-hosts Peyton Jones and Daniel Yang as they interview Hugh Halter, a specialist with Church Resource Ministries and the national director of Missio, a global network of missional leaders and church planters.

Spring of 2020 was a racially violent period in America, with African Americans being the primary victims of this violence. While there were a number of high-profile attacks on Black people, it was the killing of George Floyd that ignited an entirely new level of consciousness around the state of race in America.

Spring of 2020 was a racially violent period in America, with African Americans being the primary victims of this violence. While there were a number of high-profile attacks on Black people, it was the killing of George Floyd that ignited an entirely new level of consciousness around the state of race in America. Conversations about the social unrest, fueled by racial division, dominated the newswires at a level that was nearly unprecedented. Against the backdrop of this national crisis, church leaders have begun asking a series of unprecedented questions, such as:

What is the role of the church in times of social unrest?

What does holistic discipleship look like in response to the problem of race?

Should churches directly address White supremacy? If yes, how do they do it in a way that doesn’t further exacerbate the division?

How does a church care for its Black members during violent periods like this?

How does a church both care for (but also challenge) White members during periods like this?

How does a church both care for (but also challenge) non-Black communities of color during periods like this?

The primary task of a Pastor is to lead their congregation into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, and the questions above can never be addressed in a comprehensive manner without first developing a robust theological foundation.

Join co-hosts Daniel Hill and Christine Chang, and their special guests, for conversation on these very matters. These episodes will help you to deepen your theology, transform your thoughts around race, and sharpen your approach to discipleship.

Interpersonal communications experts tell us that the majority of what we communicate is not verbal.

Nonverbal communication such as facial expressions, hand gestures, stance, and how we use our eyes can communicate far more than our words can.

People can read us even when they can’t hear us.

Don’t miss this important conversation as we unpack the following “Rules of Engagement”, among others, when engaging in tense discussions:

Consider whether your points / conclusions are Biblical commands to obey or interpretations to discern. Be cautious not to die on the hill of interpretation.

When disagreeing with another person or point of view, ask: why would a reasonable and rational person who is seeking to follow Jesus and Scripture think this way?

Ask others to describe their path of thinking to how they arrived at their conclusion or point of view.

Be specific, avoiding generalizations and platitudes

We live in one of the most divisive and divided times in our nation’s history. We are increasingly polarized over a growing number of topics including race. People of color are increasingly frustrated while white leaders are increasingly confused and paralyzed with how to engage the conversation. Many remain silent for fear of saying the … Candid Conversations Episode 1: Unity Read More »
