Podcast Episode #491
Interventions can meet a great need in churches—and many churches need them. Today we discuss five types of interventions, and I tell the story of my strangest church consultation moment.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- Online coaching has the potential to help pastors and churches in a way we’ve never seen before.
- One of the greatest encouragements to pastors is them knowing they are not going through something alone.
- Revitalization requires a decision to stop doing what a church has been doing to decline and start doing something else in order to grow.
- Knowing when it’s time to pass the baton to the next leader is a difficult decision for a leader to make.
The five intervention types we cover are:
- Coaching intervention
- Consulting intervention
- Community intervention
- Relaunching intervention
- Leadership intervention
