Listen "Innovation requires straddling the line between resistance and non-stop change"
Episode Synopsis
Innovation and change is a key part of the church continuing to move forward and grow, just as the Christian life is one of sanctification and growth. From getting congregations on board for change, bringing in change too fast and the impact of facilities and location, the key for churches is to ride the line between resistance and innovation. Ultimately, it must come down to the vision, strategy and practice of the church.The guys finish up the pod with some encouragement for leaders on how not to get sucked into the innovation trap of trying every new idea and how to develop their ideas for their own particular church context."Church isn't sedentary, it's dynamic in it's very nature"00:00 Intro01:35 What is innovation?08:45 Is innovation at church a trap, or a triumph?13:28 Meat tray presentation14:47 The innovation spectrum and scenarios32:00 Innovation in children's ministry40:31 Innovation in location and architecture52:29 Discovering God's will amongst change59:16 Avoiding the innovation trapWatch this episode on YouTubeDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEBreakout Churches, by Thom RainierTalking HeadsRamonesBeReal appPurpose DrivenCONTACT USShock Absorber EmailShock Absorber DiscordShock Absorber WebsiteSoul Revival Shop
