Flourishing in Ministry: Taking Action & Taking Risks - Andy Crouch - 125 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

As pastors and ministry leaders, how can we honestly assess our life and leadership and move toward greater flourishing? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Andy Crouch. Andy is a lifelong minister of the gospel. He currently serves as Partner for Theology and Culture at Praxis. He has served as the InterVarsity Campus Pastor at Harvard University, as well as a number of other ministry roles. His writings have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Time, and a number of other publications. He's written several books, including the award-winning Strong and Weak: Embracing a Life of Love, Risk, and True Flourishing. Together, Andy and Jason explore the idea of flourishing in both life and leadership. Andy shares how we can take action and take risks that will help lead us from grasping for control or withdrawing, and lead us into greater flourishing and greater impact in our ministry.
