For Following a Long-Tenured Pastor

Being a second pastor comes with unique challenges and nothing prepared me better to deal with those challenges than the Following the Founder training and follow-up coaching with Jim Ozier. I was empowered to explain the big picture of what was happening, rekindle the embers of hope, and continue leading the way forward. We are still in the thick of it, but we have brought in over 130 new people in 2 ½ years and the church has experienced deep cultural shifts that have laid the foundation for another season of explosive growth. I am grateful to Jim Ozier for helping me lead through one of the most challenging transitions a pastor will ever face.
