Reggie McNeal

Pastor, church planter, denominational executive, leadership coach (we like that part), author of 10 books, numerous article, speaking engagements, blogs, podcasts, Sr Fellow for Leadership Network joins the podcast. In this first part of a two part interview, Reggie shares with us kingdom centric ministry and leadership as opposed to church-centric ministry.

This is a powerful distinction that sets our focus toward God's preferred future and ministries that touch the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ rather than just hoping people will show up at the church. What is required is nothing short of a culture shift for it to happen in our churches and grow people. It will involve three things: The first is the story or narrative, next is the scorecard or what we pay attention to, and finally stewardship. 

Reggie also addresses many of the misconceptions or false assumptions about church and ministry that gets in the way of really making a difference in people's lives for both time and eternity. 

In the next episode Reggie will focus in on what it takes to develop people as disciples and leaders.
