In this episode, Ben and John Paul talk with Jason Gaston, Family Pastor at The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, about how to lead in an everchanging environment.

Show Notes and Quotes:

Two questions that should be asked on a regular basis are, who is still here, and is what we are building sustainable for the long run?

We must stay dialed into personal interactions. Discipleship happens with personal connections, even when you are not physically present with people.

Ministry during this time is not just doing what you did before but digitally. We must rethink and be willing to try something new. Give people time to pray, discuss, and engage with each other during your teaching times.

Jason serves as the Family Ministries Pastor at The Summit Church, a multi-site church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. He’s a husband to Katie, a father to Holt, Annie and Parks, a baseball enthusiast, Crossfit wannabe, and an outdoor fanatic. He’s passionate about seeing families reach, equipped and unleashed on the world to take the gospel down the hallways of their homes to the unreached people groups across the globe.
