A New Normal: How to Lead and Minister in a COVID-Culture
How do you handle crisis?
How do you digitally disciple + shepherd people when the world is socially distant?
How do you lead + minister in a new normal?
Please KNOW you are not ALONE.
These are some of the questions we tackled with Dr. Andrew Evans from Summit Pacific College, Dr. Marv Penner with The Coalition for Youth Ministry Excellence, and Lewis Chifan from Broadway Church. Here are some of the highlights:
“Leaders define direction. In a crisis, direction can be lost.” - Marv Penner,
“Digital discipleship is not the future of ministry but it is important.” - Andrew Evans,
“Don’t do ministry alone, online.” - Lewis Chifan,
“Crisis is unexpected, unanticipated, unpredictable, uncontrollable, and yet God is still unshakable in His nature and character.” - Marv Penner,
“Significant ministry HAPPENS in significant relationships.” - Andrew Evans,
“Face to face + old fashion phone calls go a long way in a lonely + distant culture.” - Lewis Chifan
