Skill Demo 12: How to prepare for the unknown
The culture is changing around us, and the things that used to grow the parish community no longer do. If we want to continue drawing others to Jesus, we must change the way we walk with people in the secular world. For most of us (dare I say ALL of us), this means venturing into the unknown.
We are in uncharted territory and must figure out our way forward. Making this shift towards becoming a missional community means opening ourselves to the newness that God desires for us. It involves changing our habits, our processes, and even our expectations of what is possible.
Many of us are good at leading others to places that we’ve already been. But, how do you lead when you’ve never been to that place yourself? I’m going to walk you through five principles for leading into the unknown.

I really appreciate this and found it helpful in these changing times. It doesn’t frighten me as I have moved several times and have had to find my way in new settings. If we truly know our Lord and trust his guidance there is nothing to fear. But it definitely is a different time. I’m 75 and it does seem like everything is upside down and in question, but if we seek out Lord he will guide us. Thank you.
