درباره این اپیزود
On this episode of the Intentional Churches Podcast, Doug and Bart kick off Season 10 with a candid and energizing conversation about what’s happening beneath the surface at Intentional Churches.
Yes, there’s a little “Storytime with Bart” (including airline boarding chaos and a mysterious food allergy, but the heart of this episode is much deeper.
Doug and Bart unpack why Radical Alignment and personal ownership of the Great Commission is proving to be one of the most transformative discoveries of their entire ministry journeys.
This isn’t about adding another program.
It’s about rediscovering the fundamental mission of the Church.
If you’re a church leader who feels tired, stretched thin, or stuck maintaining complexity, this episode may reawaken something in you.
