When change hits your congregation or synod, whether it’s a pastoral transition, budget cuts, facility decisions, or shifting community needs, the technical part is rarely the hardest. It’s the people part: resistance, conflicts, or members who just disappear. This 75-minute session gives you a practical framework and specific tools to lead through real change while keeping your community engaged and your own leadership grounded. Come ready to work: bring a current or upcoming change you’re facing so you can apply what you learn immediately. You’ll learn how to quickly assess where resistance is coming from, transform opposition into curiosity, find traction when people are stuck, and stay steady when you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about the path forward. Learn the tools Erin uses with leaders navigating the exact tensions you know: how do you honor the past while stepping into God’s future? How do you lead with conviction when you don’t have all the answers? Whether you’re leading your congregation through a difficult decision or supporting other pastors in your synod, you’ll walk away with practical next steps you can implement this week.
