Presented by Shaun Brauteseth & Luke Hulley

One of the main priorities of our generation is diversity, inclusivity and equal representation in business, media, sport and entertainment. In this latest session, Shaun Brauteseth and Luke Hulley look at diversity in church leadership. They discuss how church leadership structures work and whether the church should build the same way as others do to keep up with the world around them. Ultimately, they remind us that the church is God’s people; it is His Kingdom, and, as Lord and King, we need to keep in step with His Spirit and do things His way.

This clip forms part of the #BeEquipped​ series - conversations around contemporary issues facing the church. You can find other videos from the series on our App or Website > Resources > Series > BeEquipped.

ABOUT THE SERIES: We need modern Apostolic voices in the days we live in. This series provides an opportunity for us to watch a sit-down conversation with apostolic voices on many contemporary issues and questions that we are facing as individuals and churches. This series is in the format of filmed interviews. We address several very relevant contemporary issues facing the church, both theological and challenges in leadership. It is made for individual viewing or listening, applicable specifically for leaders but also for saints.
