On this episode of Love Feasts and Food Fights I visit with Dr. Dwight Zscheile, the VP for Innovation at Luther Seminary and Professor of Congregational Mission and Leadership. Dr. Zscheile and his wife, the Rev. Blair Pogue, have written a book called “Embracing the Mixed Ecology: Inherited and New Forms of Christian Community Flourishing Together.” This book is set to come out in June of this year.
You’ll hear about the importance of small experimentation in developing new faith community, as well as possible baby steps existing congregations can take into behaving their way into a new way of thinking.
Be sure to check out Faith+Lead, a site full of resources available for anyone.
Also mentioned in the episode: Fresh Expressions, the Pivot podcast, and work by Dr. Michael Moynagh.
