Nobody is certain of the future, but this year is more uncertain than most. On today’s episode of Rainer on Leadership, Thom and Sam discuss ways to lead your church forward in an uncertain year.

Nobody is certain of the future, but this year is more uncertain than most.

The importance of spiritual disciplines and discipleship remains, but they alone are not leadership. 

Identify your new baseline with attendance and giving.

Prioritize quarterly and six-month strategies above long-term vision.

Be intentional about enhancing a celebration culture but don't neglect the care of those who are hurting.

Now is the time to seek outside counsel and inside accountability.
