Hi Reader,
I’ll never forget when Simple Church came out nearly 20 years ago. It rocked the way I led and shaped the way countless pastors thought about ministry. My guest this week is the guy behind that book, Eric Geiger.
Eric is now the senior pastor at Mariners Church, one of the largest and most influential churches in America. In this episode, we cover some huge issues every leader will face in the coming years:
👉Does Simple Church still work? (and why simplicity still scales)
👉Succession: with 160,000 churches changing pastors in the next decade, Eric shares what he’s learned stepping into leadership after a 35-year legacy.
👉Leadership development and discipleship: why many churches don’t have a plan, and how that impacts the future.
👉Why older leaders need to “die to themselves” for healthy transitions.
This is a masterclass on leading change, succession, and staying focused on what really matters.
🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
