Webinar Descriptions:

We're in the midst of the modern world's third great shift. We are living in an unthinkable time. "A primary obstacle to leading in an unthinkable world is that we keep thinking in terms of the thinkable--our established categories of how leadership works and how the church ought to function." 

The webinars will focus on developing leadership which understands the challenges facing leaders and the church today and identifying practical steps for forming missional congregations that effectively engage changing communities.

For additional reading and reflection on this topic, here is a link to Roxburgh's blog entry, "Entering the Unthinkable World."  Highly recommended reading as preparation for participation in these webinars!
