TED ESLER

If you arent innovating, stagnation isnt far away.

Ministry leaders carry the burden of keeping their organisations lean, focused, and relevant. The stakes are especially high for churches and other organizations that fulfill the Great Commission. When souls are on the line, theres no room for bureaucratic bloat or sustaining a cumbersome infrastructure. Its up to the leadershipthatsyouto realize where the organization is in maintenance mode and find ways to innovate even when the growth curve has slowed and the team has started to grow complacent.

Using missions disruptor William Carey as an example, Ted Esler shows how you, too, can innovate in ways that change the ministry landscape. Esler will help you keep an eye on your "eccliosystem"the ecclesial ecosystem in which you exist. Youll learn about the four stages of organizational culturedisrupting, innovating, sustaining, and stagnatingand gain strategies for staying in that sweet spot where innovations keep coming and stagnation cant take hold.

The gospel of Jesus Christ never grows stale. Dont let your ministry ever forget it!
