Missional Leadership: Embracing the Mission of God

“Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do….” (1 Chronicles 12:32, ESV) In the face of rapid change, leaders must embrace a new paradigm of leadership rooted in God's ongoing mission in the world. This talk explores how leaders can navigate the challenges of discontinuous change by focusing on mission rather than maintenance. Drawing on the example of the Sons of Issachar, we’ll discuss how to read the local landscape and align with the Holy Spirit’s boundary-breaking work. By integrating contextual and practical theology alongside reflective praxis, this talk equips leaders to engage their world with a vision inspired by Jesus Christ’s mission.
