We all know that there are noticeable differences between generations, but understanding how to work together and lead across generational divides is now more important than ever. Millennials are increasingly taking over for Boomers and Gen X in church leadership and are navigating how to empower Gen Z for ministry at the same time. With all these generational dynamics, Tim Elmore helps us chart a path forward.

The idea of personal branding might sound weird in the ministry world, but that's because we have misconceptions about what it means. Everyone has a personal brand, whether we like it or not.

The world around us is rapidly changing and to reach more people, the way we evangelize and integrate them into our church communities will need to change with it. Chestly Lunday is joined by Dave Ferguson in this episode to discuss how Dave has helped Exponential, Community Christian, and NewThing adapt to innovation. They discuss the implications of what being "one church with multiple expressions" means as well as how to invest in things that are "wanting to happen."

Walter Kim, the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, joins Chestly Lunday for a conversation on how the political climate in the United States is impacting the future of evangelicalism. Whether we like it or not, evangelicalism has grown to have some negative connotations in the United States in spite of many of the good things evangelicals provide for society. As a result, we need to do the hard work of maintaining a listening and missionary posture that sees opportunities for the advancement of the gospel rather than political battlefields.

We live in a time where people are more apt to view others as enemies and treat each other poorly as a result. We reject the possibility of meaningful relationships and maintain a distorted, hostile view of the world. This impacts our ability to make discipleship, which is the primary relational mission of the church. Jim Wilder helps us understand the dynamics that cause us to enter "enemy mode" and how we can avoid it in this podcast episode.

During a politically charged season, it's easy to lose sight of what's most important, which is following the heart of God. We're called to pray for our leaders and that's because prayer changes us. Prayer puts things back into perspective and reminds us about who's really on the throne. Listen in as Pete and Peyton talk about the importance of prayer right after an election.
