Learn how small, daring experiments from the edges can spark meaningful change in your church—without sending everyone into panic mode.
Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Raymond Chang in Ep. 164, Building a Future-Focused Church.
"We recommend that people consider additional, and smaller experiments from the edges that are likely to move the congregation in the direction that it needs to go without being too disruptive."
THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- Leaders move congregations forward by initiating small experiments rather than launching large, disruptive initiatives.
- Congregations learn and adapt best when leaders guide them through a series of modest, incremental changes.
- Leaders invite trust and participation when they approach change as co-learners rather than as experts.
- Experimenting at the margins allows churches to discover real community needs before making significant shifts.
- Genuine experiments help congregations clarify their direction by focusing on questions and learning rather than predetermined outcomes.
