Thrive. Ideas to lead the church in post-Christendom, with Rohadi – EM248

Has your church or ministry seemed to go from relevant to forgotten? Listen as Rohadi shares his heart and experiences about connecting with and serving people in creative, meaningful, and inclusive ways.

As time goes on, the Church is re-learning how to engage with culture. This can be seen in churches across the United States. There are many who have no connection with the Church or have left it, and churches are searching for how to respond. Rohadi joins to talk about this issue. He is a church planter, entrepreneur, and writer. He works to change ideas about mission in American churches.

Rohadi shares about his experiences in church planting. Also, he discusses the importance of being open to failure in mission. Engaging with the community is crucial, and Rohadi reminds us all of that.
