Workshop Session 3: The Starfish and the Spirit: Reimagining Movement and Leadership
Join the authors of the recently released Starfish and The Spirit by reimagining the church as a decentralized network of multiplying disciples, leaders, houses, hubs, and networks that fill a city or region with the fullness of Jesus. To do so requires distributing the weight of leadership throughout the entire body, rather than on the shoulders of a few. Discover the life giving decentralized leadership practices of Macromanagement over Micromanagement, Equipping over Directing, Coaching over Bossing, and more.
Time: Wednesday, 2:30pm — 3:30pm
Location: Kids 2 - Room 208
Speakers: Rob Wegner, Lance Ford
Workshop Session 4: What Did the Mars Hill Podcast Miss?
Christianity Today's podcast, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill was a ratings hit, garnering far and wide listenership and reaction. It was not without controversy though. Some listeners felt it went too far, some felt it didn't go far enough. Some are asking if this form of media was appropriate at all for the church to engage in. Was it helpful or hurtful for the church? Join authors Rob Wegner and Lance Ford as they share insights from their newest work that speaks directly to these issues, alongside Jeff Vanderstelt, an early-years leader with Acts 29 who became pastor to hundreds of former Mars Hill members following its breakdown. Jeff will share his viewpoint and redemptive experiences he has eye-witnessed in the aftermath of Mars Hill Church.
Time: Thursday, 8:45am — 9:45am
Location: Language Ministry Center - Room 128A
Speakers: Jeff Vanderstelt, Rob Wegner, Lance Ford
