The mission of the church is timeless and will never change. The church exists to show the world who God is. But, if we aren’t willing to make some changes in our churches and our ministries we will actually lose influence, trust, and relevance, so we won’t accomplish our mission. That’s why it’s important to redesign our ministries to last. Listen to The Think Orange Podcast with Reggie Joiner as he unpacks what that means and why your strategy matters.

What is your strategy? Not, what is your mission? Most of us know our mission. We spent time crafting the language very carefully and it is probably on a wall somewhere. But, what is your strategy? What is your plan of action to accomplish your mission? If I asked you to give me your elevator pitch, what would you say? We like to say that it’s your strategy, not your mission, that ultimately determines your success. This week, Reggie Joiner encourages us to think strategically about our ministries.
