When the novel coronavirus caused many churches to close down and move themselves online, many churches wrestled with how to deliver their content in a meaningful way that drove connection. Many churches are still dealing with that question and working hard to maintain connection while also delivering top quality content.

In this conversation, Jeremy and Dave talk about some mistakes along the way as well as some ways churches can build stronger connections while also maintaining a high production value for their online content. It's a both/and, not an either/or.

What's needed most in good leadership -- character or competency?

Most people believe both are needed. But what happens in leadership when we overlook one, assuming the other is either present or will follow? We are familiar with stories about competent leaders with poor character as well as leaders with great character but for whom competencies are lacking. Sometimes, the things we overlook come back around.

​In this podcast, Jeremy and Dave discuss why both character and competency are needed for good leadership, and why church leaders, especially, must self-understand themselves as leaders, not caretakers or managers.
