Faithful Adaptation: Leading Change with Hope
Ministry today is full of questions that don’t have clear answers—maybe some of these sound familiar:
- How can I get more people to church?
- Are we even focused on the right problems?
- Why isn’t any of this working anymore?
In Faithful Adaptation: Leading Change with Hope, the Rev. Dr. Michael Binder will share valuable practices and insights with leaders who are grappling with challenges like these. Through fresh insights rooted in hard-won experience, he’ll invite us to move beyond shallow, one-size-fits-all solutions in favor of deep listening, creativity, and hopeful adaptation.
Too often, we get stuck trying to “fix” something that actually needs deep transformation! If you’re stuck constantly trying to fix something—or several somethings that crop up again and again—how can you figure out what’s really going on? Michael will share tools and exercises to help you get to the root of the issue in your context, so that you can take your next, faithful step with clarity and confidence.
