We are continuing to do some replays of things that we thought were really important that we've had an opportunity to share with a number of pastors and leaders over the last several months. And today we are taking a segment from a conversation that was had that's called "How To Stay Connected Through Discipleship." And especially in this season, when churches and pastors are not able to gather in person and so much is being done virtually, in smaller groups. This is such a vital conversation.

In this episode, we're talking specifically about the need to understand the digital focus that we have to have as churches and ministries. We're pleased to have one of our team members, Donnell Sainvil, who has interviewed 3 of our great Pastors in our district. Pastor Ricky Whitlow, Pastor Mark Chester, and Pastor Kerlin Calderon are all leveraging digital online tools.

For women who are called to leadership - there is oftentimes resistance - times when they don’t feel supported or valued. Yet, as ministers and leaders we want to call out and recognize the God-given calling that women have to lead - which is truly unique to every woman.  Please join Pastor Peter as he talks with Cheri Dunnigan and Lisa Bonanno on the topic of Women who Lead Well.  We will discuss the value of sponsorship - what that looks like - and what traits we look for in "up and coming” leaders as well as best pieces of advice that can help women lead well.

On this month’s edition of the Empowered Leadership Podcast, we hear from Lisa Bonanno who helps give a perspective on the environments we create by the visual, décor and the hospitality within our churches.  Often, these things are either ignored or relegated to lesser importance, and although they may not seem like the most “spiritual” of details, they open the door to helping people feel welcome, warm and receptive to the gospel.  A great podcast to listen to with the “creatives” and the “first impression” people within your church!
