Events vs. The Process – A Leadership Culture
In every ministry organization there is a leadership culture. That culture is created by events or community. Events ignite the process, but a life-giving community helps the process for real life change. Is your church organization driven by events or the process? Our prayer is that it’s both!

Guest Blogger: Phil Cooke “Media Ministries: Welcome to the New Normal”
