Episode notes
Start With Early Adopters
- Most churches contain a small percentage of natural evangelists who will lead outreach without coercion.
- Focus first on identifying and mobilizing those early adopters rather than changing everyone at once.
Mobilize Teams To Reach Outside Circles
- Mobilize radical early adopters to reach people outside the church's natural circle of influence.
- Target groups the church won’t reach and let pioneers build bridges into those communities.
Train Widely To Surface Champions
- Train broadly to surface radicals but expect only a few to act; use training as exposure and vision-casting.
- Keep the wider church informed so radicals gain institutional support rather than becoming isolated.
