Episode 2 - How the Church Can Move Forward After COVID-19

Join Leigh Spruill as he welcomes Doug Paul, Managing Partner and Innovation Strategist of Catapult, an organization that helps leaders build successful ministries that scale, to answer the question, 'What is the 'Big Opportunity' facing the Church in today's world'? Leigh and Mr. Paul talk about the importance of Kingdom Innovation as the Church moves forward from a year under COVID-19.

In the last year, things around us either felt like they screeched to a halt or accelerated things that were already happening. Recent surveys show the average church has lost a third of its attendees in the last 15 months. We've all expressed the desire to get 'back to normal,' but Doug challenges our assumption that 'backward' is where normal should be. In Doug’s view, ‘The Big Opportunity’ for churches is to take the time to ask what God is trying to do right now. Once we take the time to ask what is 'trying to happen' now, we can then discern where to move next and where we can innovate as we move forward.

Doug Paul is the author of the bestselling book “Ready or Not: Kingdom Innovation for a Brave New World”.
