SHOW NOTES – Episode 05
Title: The Changing Tide of Ministry Structures
Publish Date: May 21, 2022
The SHE-Team picks up where we left off in Part 1 of how training for ministry needs to change to be more effective for the next generation. In this Part 2 episode, Jen helps us think through innovative forms of ministry training that draw on human behavior and learning theory. Our hope is to encourage ideas for more effectively preparing ministry leaders for the challenges of a post-Covid church.
