Learn how transformational leaders can unlock real change by listening deeply to their neighborhoods—before making big plans for the future. Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Josh Hayden in Ep. 272, Beyond Church Revitalization . "Remissioning leaders have to do the steady work of exegeting the neighborhood, and doing the exegesis work of the church before they make big plans about what success or flourishing looks like for our church or our neighbors." THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: Remissioning leaders exegete both their neighborhoods and their churches before making big plans for success or flourishing. Leaders develop a deep understanding of their community by listening, observing, and engaging with the local context. Churches resist imposing ideas by prioritizing understanding over assumptions when entering a neighborhood. Teams uncover the unique strengths and pain points of their neighborhoods by spending devoted time within them. Faith communities help neighborhoods flourish when they build connections and respond to local needs in the name of Jesus. Send me a text! I’d love to know what you're thinking!
