What we learned and what we changed about our assimilation strategy-podcast with Rich Birch at Unseminary

Rich Birch's unseminary podcast is hands down my favorite for on-point ministry principles and ideas on any topic that fortifies the local church. Today, my second interview came out and I am super excited to share it with you. In it I talk with Rich about what we changed in our assimilation strategy at Eastside, what worked, what didn't and why. This will get you and your team's juices flowing about choosing and working the best strategy to connect guests at your church.

So get some coffee, and give it a listen. See the questions below to think through and discuss with fellow Sherpas on your team to get maximum benefit out of your time invested here.

• Have you ever been through a season of ministry where things were going well but circumstances forced you to change what you were doing anyway? What was that like? What did you learn?
• Have you ever implemented a smart strategy that didn't achieve the results you hoped for? Do you have clarity about the reason for that now? What did you do about it?
• Do you need a new strategy or is there a dial turn in an unrelated area in your church's ministry that would make your existing strategy a winner?
