MinistryCOM 2009 Keynote Session
Presenter:
Kerry Bural
Principal
The Resonate Group
Mt Juliet, TN
Session Description:
You’re familiar with the old adage that says, “three steps forward and two steps back,” but what would happen if you viewed “setbacks” as merely redirects of your efforts? In this address, Kerry unpacks an “Intentional Change Model” to help you overcome the inherent obstacles that ministry defiantly throws in your face. He also presents practical tools to help you influence forward movement.
