217. Holding on or Venturing Forth, a Quick Conversation with Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson

Markus Watson and Tod Bolsinger reflect on their passion for exploration as an essential element of leadership, discussing the current crisis where the church often resists change and clings to the past rather than venturing into the unknown. Together, they explore the challenges in embracing exploration within the church, examine the role faith plays in embarking on new journeys, and contemplate how our structures often dissuade us from the very essence of adventure that following Jesus entails.

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Dwight Gibson in Episode 25, Organizational Change and the Way of Exploration:

“As people of faith I would like to believe we have a greater capacity for exploration because we do recognize there is something beyond ourselves.”
