This track of the Resilient Church Academy will introduce three key skills needed for leading churches in post-COVID North America: Contexual Discernment, Generative Teams, and Incarnational Innovation.

The pandemic has revealed that many churches were counting on attractive worship gatherings to form their attendees rather than discipleship. What kind of system would raise up devoted disciples—not just useful volunteers.

In this training, we will explore a new approach and delivery of our sermons: dialogical preaching. We’ll explore why our preaching must change, what dialogical communication is, and why it is needed. We’ll also delve into Jesus’ dialogical approach, and learn how we can employ his methods into our particular context.
