What if transformation isn't just about self-driven change, but a divine journey that starts from within? In this episode of Lead Time, we sit down with Rob Kelly, co-author of "Metanoia: How God Radically Transforms People, Churches, and Organizations from the Inside Out," to explore this profound concept.

Rob shares his unique theological path from Pentecostalism to a more sacramental and missional approach, drawing from the works of NT Wright and Alan Hirsch. Together, we unpack the true biblical meaning of metanoia and its potential to deeply transform individuals and the church, uniting us in Christ's eternal love.
Our conversation also ventures into the transformative power of metanoia as experienced by biblical figures like Paul, Peter, and the woman at the well. These narratives illustrate how encounters with Christ lead to irreversible shifts in understanding and being. We emphasize that such transformation is ultimately God's work, fundamentally altering our perception and connection to the Creator. This reorientation leaves no room for pride, instead highlighting the role of humans as receivers of divine revelation.
Lastly, we tackle the complexities of organizational change within the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and beyond, discussing the challenges posed by entrenched structures and vested interests. Rob and I explore the necessity of renewal through sound biblical theology and understanding human behavior, advocating for a grace-filled approach to institutional critique. We reimagine church structures, proposing a shift from hierarchical control to influence-driven systems inspired by Jesus' original design. Tune in to discover how embracing metanoia can foster genuine dialogue, transformation, and unity within our faith communities.
