SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
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 tackles a question he says he'd happily debate: does YWAM still live out its founding conviction as a "faith mission" — taking Matthew 6's call not to worry about money literally?

Continuing the series, Lynn Green tackles why genuine revivals so often fizzle out quickly.

Prompted by a question from missionaries in Madagascar, Lynn Green unpacks Ephesians 2:20's claim that the church is built "on the foundation of the apostles and prophets" — and why we rarely see the two gifts operating on the same team. He defines how YWAM uses the terms apostle and prophet, walks…
Amid growing public distrust of institutions — including the church — Lynn Green makes the case that a leader's real job description isn't in a strategy document, it's in Scripture: shepherd the flock.
