Leadership in a Time of Disruption, Mission Innovation, and Denominational Revitalization with Raphael Anzenberger

In an age of disruption, should we reconsider our ministry models or missional frameworks?  In this episode of CITN, Rob talks with Dr. Raphael Anzenberger about his work in Quebec with denominational revitalization, church planting, and missional enterprise. They also discuss the significance of innovation, the inevitability of disruption, and lessons gleaned from mission in Europe. Raphael is the Executive Minister of the French Baptist Union in Canada, Executive Director of the Quebec Network of Evangelicals, and Assistant Professor of Intercultural Studies at Columbia International University. To learn more about Raphael, visit https://anzenberger.net/. In the pre-show, Rob, Geoff, and Chris reminisce about the past season of CITN.
