Can co-creative leadership transform your church?
In this conversation with Dr. Tom Tumblin (Asbury Theological Seminary), we explore what co-creative leadership is, why it matters, and how it can reshape your ministry team into a collaborative, Spirit-led force for the kingdom.
You’ll hear how moving from control to co-creation builds trust, empowers others, and creates space for shared vision and mission. If you’re a pastor or church leader who wants to lead more effectively without burning out or bottlenecking your team—this conversation is for you.
