Change Without Compromise

I was fortunate to have some time with Brad Powell earlier this week, the pastor of NorthRidge Church in Michigan. I loved hearing his heart and passion for change, truth, and leadership. It was obvious to see the profound depth of perspective he has in leading change and challenging other to do the same.

Brad's theme is "Change Without Compromise" which should be an encouragement to us all. This theme sums up so many great points, especially the division of two things that certainly scare many people... change and compromise. Truth is, we can make epic changes without compromising our beliefs and foundations. Matter of fact, we are commanded to as Image-Bearers of God. Change, creativity, fresh look, innovation - this should be our market and one of our strongest abilities.

It was a great joy getting to talk to Brad about how his church has shifted in demographic and age, how he is almost more comfortable working with younger leaders than older now because of passion he has for their development, about principles that never change and the means to exegete them, and his perspectives on current models of ministry many of us have become familiar with.

There is great hope for us all... for churches and organizations alike. We must seek out change without compromise and we must have the leaders to take us there. This is our calling, this is our duty... to advance our work even further in means that engage the hearts and minds of people. The opportunities are rich...
