Reading the Signs of the Times: Master Class / Leonard Sweet & Michael Beck
Event Information
About this Event
How do you do ministry when everything keeps changing?
The Church had already begun to lose its privileged place in the center of Western Culture—and that was before the Pandemic of 2020 changed everything!
What churches need now isn't better preaching or programming - instead we need an ancient secret - the "secret of Issachar”.
This secret was the ability to understand the moment we live in, anticipate where we are heading, and lead accordingly.
What to Expect in the Masterclass
In this Resilient Church Academy Masterclass, your guides Drs. Len Sweet and Michael Beck will introduce you to Issachar's secret: Contextual Intelligence, and teach you practical ways it can equip your church to be prepared for today and the days ahead.
Register now and you'll receive access to this exclusive live event, as well as a hardcover copy (shipped to you) of Len and Michael’s new book (a $20 value) - Contextual Intelligence: Unlocking the Ancient Secret to Mission on the Front Lines.
When you register make sure your give us your shipping address so we can send you a copy of the new book - Contextual Intelligence This is included in your registering for this Master Class.
