Are you struggling to keep your young people engaged in services? Do they seem complacent & bored?

Revelation 7 verse 9 tell us of " ..a great multitude that no one could count, from every tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb". God created us different and he saw it as good. George Floyd's murder bought into focus the stark reality of racism and how it impacts on the daily lives of black people within our church family and the wider communities we serve. To change this narrative we need to have an understanding of God's perspective , that can only lead to a continuing heart journey of challenge and change. In this session we unpack aspects of the black experience as well as consider what steps you as an individual as well as a church can take. Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

In 2016, 'Post-Truth' was named word of the year by the Oxford English Dictionary. This points to an alarming trend, in which people in western cultures are distancing themselves from truth in the name of personal preference and inclusivity. How are we as churches and Christians to respond? In this seminar, we consider the challenges and opportunities related to reaching our friends, family and neighbours in this cultural moment. Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

If you’re committed to building God’s church, you’re committed to raising up leaders.

Jesus stopped and asked questions to people, in different situations and different times throughout his ministry. A simple question can be the key to releasing the Kingdom of God in a friendship, ministry area, a God given dream and anything else you can think of.

Coaching tools are powerful and effective when it comes to leading people in any and every season.  Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

We’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts and heard the stories. But as leaders, how do we live so that we’re “doing the stuff” every day both in and outside the church?

Two years of pandemic mean that we have all been through a season of collective trauma - though for some that will look more explicitly traumatic in terms of loss/grief/change than others. But why HAS this season been so psychologically traumatic? And how does our faith and knowledge of God and the Bible shape the way we work through that so we can feel more like our normal selves again - and support others who are struggling to return to their pre pandemic life? Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.
