The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast

NOTE

Navigating Risks and Cultural Transformation in Church Leadership

The speaker highlighted the importance of taking risks for cultural transformation within a church. By proposing to lease an auditorium for Easter service, despite concerns from the leadership team, the speaker emphasized the need to either strive to thrive as a church or accept failure. This risk paid off as the Easter service at the Marcus auditorium was successful, leading to a significant cultural shift towards embracing risk in the church. This success instilled belief and hope in the congregation, marking a healing moment and a shift in the church's culture towards being more comfortable with taking risks. The trust gained from the congregation stemmed from the speaker's transparency and honesty, particularly in the hiring process, and their previous experiences at Metro. Overall, the story emphasized the transformative power of taking calculated risks and the positive impact it can have on cultural change and leadership trust.
