What should your leadership look like when you are in crisis mode? I know it’s a question you’ve asked yourself ad a leader. It’s certainly a question Joel Thomas has asked himself. Joel is currently the Lead Pastor at Buckhead church in Atlanta and part of Andy Stanleys leadership team at North Point.

Sounds like the dream job for a Pastor, right? But Joel’s leadership journey hasn’t always been an easy one. In this webinar Joel will share some of his amazing story from North Point to Arizona and back again. 

In this webinar you’ll learn…

• How to stay on track when the way forward looks so uncertain? 
• Why Joel left and then returned to North Point and why you should you stay or go
• What It’s like being part of Andy Stanley’s leadership team at North Point and how it’s changing.
• How to change your church to a new church model that starts to grow and make a difference in your community

“I think in order to connect with an emerging culture, the church will have to look dramatically different.”  Joel Thomas
