Hearing God at work
From a podcast by Heaven in Business
Jesus says in John 10, "My sheep hear my voice." It's not optional. It's truth. So the issue is not that we don't hear God. It's that we don't realize we're hearing God.

Online - Becoming a Decentralised Church Network Leader - Movement Dynamics + Leadership Over Time
@
How do the needs of a decentralized network of churches change as it develops and what are the leadership responsibilities throughout those phases? If you’re the leader putting missional theory onto the concrete of your context, this webinar is for you.
This 1 hr webinar is led by network practitioners of 20 years. The Underground experiment has been both a network of decentralized micro-churches doing diverse mission in the city and a non-profit service platform that exists to help those micro-churches be the church they’re called to be. The competencies needed to lead a decentralized network are unique from leading a centralized community. We’ve also seen how leadership through those competencies needs to adapt over time depending on the particular phase of network development you are in.

Online - Economic Models for Decentralized Church Networks
@
Are you leading a network of decentralised churches but unsure how to design a budget that describes reality, or how to fund all the good & beautiful chaos? Join us for this 1-hour webinar as we explore alternative economic models based on new sets of principles and convictions.

Come hear some of the ways our economic model has evolved over time, based on transferrable principles and convictions, and explore how you might innovate a new way in your context
