Resilient Church Academy is Brought to You By
How do you do ministry when everything keeps changing?
The Church had already begun to lose its privileged place in the center of Western Culture—and that was before the Pandemic of 2020 changed everything!
What churches need now isn't better preaching or programming - instead we need an ancient secret - the "secret of Issachar”.
This secret was the ability to understand the moment we live in, anticipate where we are heading, and lead accordingly.
What to Expect in the Masterclass
In this Resilient Church Academy Masterclass, your guides Drs. Len Sweet and Michael Beck will introduce you to Issachar's secret: Contextual Intelligence, and teach you practical ways it can equip your church to be prepared for today and the days ahead.
Live Teaching
Unlock Issachar's secret with new and exclusive teaching live on Zoom.
