FREE SEMINAR: Holy Spirit Informed Adaptive Church Leadership
Presented by Rev. J. Gary Butler, this free event is the cutting-edge product of three years of doctoral-level study and research; the analysis of nearly 200 high-quality biblical, theological, and leadership books and resources; and informed by over fifty years of practical pastoral ministry experience in the local church and network leadership.
What you will learn in three rapidly-moving sessions:
Hour One: Explore the impact of today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous culture—learn why leaders must develop new skills to take advantage of opportunities and sidestep dangers. See the rapidly-changing culture as a missional opportunity to be seized instead of a problem to be solve
Hour Two: Learn the basics of adaptive leadership—a recently developed approach to dealing with rapidly emerging new problems with no apparent answers. Adaptive strategies are paired with learning to recognize the essential role of the Holy Spirit and the importance of spiritual discernment in times of conflict, disruption, interruption, and surprise.
Hour Three: Learn how to develop tempered resilience and survive the inevitable sabotage. Learn techniques for surviving sabotage and the importance of becoming a principled non-anxious leader who starts with conviction, stays connected, stays calm, and stays the course.
The seminar will feature PowerPoint presentations, handout notes, interactive discussion and dialogue, and the completion of a brief pre-session and post-session assessment tool.
