Leading in the Digital Church - The Leadership Roundtable Podcast w/ Dr. Conway Edwards (Ep. 44)
Special Guest: Jeff Reed. Sharing Jesus online is so much more than standing on a virtual "soapbox" and telling people how they should live. We are seeing God move in these spaces in ways that we can see anywhere else, and different types of leaders thrive in these areas more than others. Our special guest, Jeff Reed, founder of THECHURCH.DIGITAL & DigitalChurch.Network, joins the podcast to share how we can find value in using online tools to mobilize, motivate and equip people to share their Jesus stories in digital communities!

Uniquely One - The Leadership Roundtable Podcast w/ Dr. Conway Edwards (Ep. 41)
No matter what type of organization you're a part of, there are specific values and guidelines that we like to call the "House Rules." It is important that leaders not only be familiar with the house rules but also be ambassadors for them within the culture. These are the things that make your organization unique. Join us on this special New Year's episode as we break down the foundational operating principles at our church that make us one community and provide an outline of expectations for our staff, members, and friends. As you listen, start thinking about your own organization and ask yourself, "What are the rules of our house?"
