5 Days of Leadership with Pastor Craig | Day 2: Lead Through Change

Breaking Up the Systems

Even a good ministry system will eventually limit what God wants to do if the system doesn’t evolve or totally change. (By system, I mean any program, structure, philosophy, or culture that shapes and helps produce a desired outcome.) Once people operate within a system long enough, they o...
