The video above shows my interview from earlier this week with Evan McBroom and Marian Liautaud of the Aspen Group. If you have not yet watched our time together, click the image above. You’ll enjoy it as we discuss many of the issues pastors and church leaders are facing in terms of culture and the need for a post-COVID vision. This was part of a new FREE resource they created called Leadership Questions For A New Season Of Ministry. You can get your complimentary resource by clicking HERE. Trust me, download their material. The folks at Aspen are ridiculously intelligent and some of the most delightful, servant-minded people I have ever met. They will make you a better leader.
