אודות פרק זה
Lynn Green opens with a health update — the facial spasm surgery worked, though hearing loss remains — before returning to the 2002 "tripod message" that moved YWAM from executive hierarchy toward plural eldership. He revisits why God resisted giving Israel a king, why senior-leader succession is so risky, and shares real examples of leadership teams that navigated transitions well because of shared eldership — making the case, 12 years into implementation, for why plural leadership is still the goal.

Lynn Green returns to Jesus's wineskin parable (Luke 5, 37) to ask a pointed question: does YWAM need new structural wineskins for the moves of God happening now? Drawing on stories spanning fifty years — a 1970 Iowa revival with no church to catch it, unreached Papua New Guinea and Amazon tribes,…
