S1E3 - How to Recognize the Need for Change

How do you recognize the need for change? Change can be painful, but it's nowhere near as painful as being stuck in a place you don't belong.
On this episode, Barron Longstreth and Jeff Ralston, lead pastor of First Pentecostal Church of Lake Charles, discuss distinguishing the difference between embracing change for relevance and compromising core beliefs, identifying key indicators for organizational change, providing spiritual and emotional support for leaders during times of change, and effectively addressing the "why" in leadership communication. 
You will enjoy Pastor Ralston's well-thought-out and systematic explanation for each question. You don't want to miss this deep and insightful conversation!
