This week we’re coming at you from Stockholm, Sweden! This episode was captured in January of 2020 while Erwin & Aaron were visiting friends and different churches in Western Europe. While on the road, our father-son duo reflect on the importance of environments and the spaces we create for ourselves, our teams, and our communities.

From seeing the small details, to the people and the attitudes within a space, everything can contribute to an environment. How can we prepare spaces, especially church spaces, to be the most welcoming and uplifting experience for an outsider? Aaron talks about how a church is uniquely positioned to be a communal experience that people rarely find outside in the secular world. 

Erwin sees environments as the circumstances that allow a person to be receptive and open to a positive experience and positive outcomes. Leadership is about creating these kinds of environments that create great spaces and set your teams up for success.
