In this conversation we unpack one of our 5 Core Principle tools called Practitioners First and how it helps us create new metrics for reframing success.

We just got back from our annual Summit Gathering in Greenville, South Carolina where we looked at how the church should be Reframing Success.

Let’s have a conversation about the systems we have inherited as church leaders and getting beyond the pastor as a hero and getting to coach and a catalyst.

How can we move the church go beyond a service provider of religious goods and services to a mobilizer of people on mission?

In the second part of this conversation we get really practical on how proclamation and demonstration are two parts of the same engine. 

Deb Hirsch once called us Christians, “Bobbleheads” because we walk around with so much information.

This is part one of a convention that wants us to get beyond just being people of teaching and words and being a balance of both proclamation and demonstration.

Following up from our previous conversation...we get a bit practical. Terry outlines some ideas on how to evaluate the relational health of your community as you lead on mission. 

The mission of God is being engaged, but there is a growing realization that for some, the organizations we have set up makes it really hard. In today's episode we talk about getting beyond mission as a project and making it sound more like Good News. 

The Forge America Podcast is back! After a bit of a hiatus, we get behind the mic to talk all things faith, church, mission...and whatever else we end up feeling like discussing.
