Discoveries from Leaders at the Pipeline Symposium - Part 1
How do we confront the Canadian clergy shortage crisis? On November 18-20, over fifty ministry leaders gathered from across Canada at Muskoka Woods Camp for the first-ever Pipeline Symposium. Many invitations were sent out, and some couldn't attend, but there was a strong representation of denominational, academic, parachurch, and local church leaders. Throughout the three-day event, Rob sat down with eleven of its participants for short "speed interviews." The goal was to capture their discoveries, but more importantly, to help turn up the heat around this crucial conversation. On this week's episode, we hear from Kesavan Belasingham (Pastor, Fellowship Church Rouge Park), Jeremy MacDonald (Director of Operations, Youth Worker Community), Trevor Peacock (Senior Pastor, Redemption Calgary North), Paul Carter (Lead Pastor, Cornerstone Baptist Church), Jonathan Griffiths (Lead Pastor, The Metropolitan Bible Church and Chancellor, Heritage Seminary), and Steve Adams (Founder and Consultant, Adams & Co.).
