EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, KNOWING JESUS. Well talk about a big vision! Dr Rachel Jordan-Wolf will be joining us at this year’s LAUNCH to talk about how it can become a reality and I loved hearing from her in advance on the podcast. Rachel is executive director of HOPE Together in the UK, having worked closely with the initiative since 2010, when she was the Church of England’s National Mission and Evangelism Advisor. “I’m committed to evangelism being at the heart of the church,’ says Rachel, “Committed to mission and to the local church in villages, towns and cities, and committed to do this together across denominations and across ethnicities to make Jesus known with words and action.

How To Avoid The Most Costly Leadership Error
Getting the wrong people on your team (or leading it!) can be one of the most expensive and stressful issues you’ll ever face. I was thrilled to hear wisdom from my friend William Vanderbloemen on how we really can do so much better at this. He is an entrepreneur, pastor, speaker, author, and CEO and founder of Vanderbloemen Search Group, which has helped thousands of churches, ministries, and faith-based organisations create a great culture and find people who will consistently make it better to achieve their God given goals. We looked at many issues on the Future Church podcast here including:
Future Church Podcast – OSCAR AMISI. Mega Churches And Multiplication Movements In Kenya And Beyond.

My Future Church podcast is back and gets off to a (nearly) perfect start with this interview of the fantastic John McGinley, leader of Myriad.
‘Fighting The Good Fight’ – Or Just Fighting?
The Bible portrays many aspects of the Christian life and ministry as a ‘struggle’ or a ‘fight’. The apostle Paul wrote to tell the young leader he was mentoring, Timothy, to fight the good fight of faith.
But how often do we end up in a bad fight?
And how do you know the difference between the good fight you’re called to fight in life, the battles that God has called you into, and the bad fights you really should avoid? The fights that are just distracting, and could even be destroying your ability to really do what you’re made to do and meant to do?

How complex the church consistently makes what Christ came to make simple.
FOUR MARKS OF THE POST-CHRISTIAN MIND. Dr James Emery White
The culture that has lost its spiritual roots is a dying culture… however prosperous it may appear externally.
Steve Addison – MIND THE GAP!
What if the gospel is NOT about ‘cities being transformed..’ We talk as if the gospel is here to change the city, socially, politically economically and so on, neglecting what the mission of God really is.
JOSH HOWARD, Practices, Pitfalls and Principles for multiplying movements
“You don’t have to have BEST practices. Just be okay with ‘good enough’ to do something. Then practice! Innovation means it doesn’t have to be perfect yet.”
FOUR LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP – DON’T SKIP ANY!
You may know already I’m on sabbatical and you’re thinking, ‘Why’s he going meeting with people?’ but I had a dream just the other week where pretty clearly God was telling me I needed to go and connect with Ken Gott, and I know he likes quick obedience – so we did it.
