LILR 093 | Archie Coates on Building Congregational Trust in Transition with Competency and Healthy Disruptions

Leaders in Living Rooms

“You can’t lead people or take them anywhere until they trust you.” Meet Archie Coates, Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton. In a conversation about transitioning into a lead pastor role, Archie gives personal insights from his recent transition at HTB. He brings a healthy mix of humility and disruption to a seasoned church. Learn about the difference between loving a church you “birthed” versus a church you “adopted” in today’s episode. Archie’s perspective and wisdom will give you practical concepts to aid either side of pastoral transitions.

Welcome to Episode 093 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.
