Through Three Lenses

What does it mean to form disciples when the old pathways no longer work? How do we make real room for younger generations that is not just a seat at the table, but actual space to try, fail, and lead? And what happens when the church finally learns to listen to itself from every corner of the globe? We continue our series: Imagining the Church Yet to Be as Derrick and Ashley are joined by Hilde Marie Gretz (Norway), Imke Sewing (Germany), and Ntube Beatrice Diffang (Cameroon) to explore the three lenses that will shape the work of the Leadership Gathering cohorts: innovative disciple formation, empowering younger generations, and amplifying global voices. We dive into the first two lens, and the entire conversation is a lesson in decentering the US perspective. The conversation is wide-ranging, and grounded.
