Christmas was like no Christmas you've ever had in your church. The amount of new thinking and new approaches was massive. The next big event in the church calendar is Easter. However, the thinking you had to put into Christmas can actually help you plan for Easter. In this episode, Chris & Lee talk about two different domains: Complexity and Complicated, and how different domains need different approaches. But the great news is that they link into each other perfectly.
