The Art of Transitional Ministry Part 2
The Art of Transitional Ministry Part 2 educates pastors to think about change from a leadership perspective as we seek to guide systems from where they are to God's promised future. How do I lead a congregation through change effectively? How do I analyze the ministry context in which I find myself? How do I navigate through complex systems and conflict? How do the challenges and celebrations of leading through transition affect my sense of call?
