Manage episode 438153770 series 3487429
Can you imagine the risks of assuming your church's current growth will continue indefinitely? Or the despair of thinking a decline is permanent? Tune in as we unpack the perils of the straight line instinct from Hans Rosling’s book, Factfulness. Learn how this instinct can dangerously shape our expectations, leading us to complacency in good times or hopelessness in bad times. Discover practical strategies to break free from this mindset and how to stay adaptable in ministry, recognizing that trends can take many forms.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how church leaders can better track and interpret trends, celebrating successes without becoming stagnant and facing challenges with hope. We’ll share insights on how to maintain faith in God’s plans despite uncertainties and how to prepare for a variety of potential futures. This episode is crucial for church staff and leaders aiming to navigate the ups and downs of ministry with wisdom and faith. Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your approach to growth and decline!
