Change is one of the great constants of the world – right up there with death, taxes, and the love of God. But even though it’s inevitable, we’re often reluctant to change, and get anxious when change happens. On this episode, Bill and I share strategies for how we’ve cultivated our own openness to change and why we think that openness is vital to ministry.
