    Who is Leading Next? A 300 Year Vision

    What does it take to build a church movement that lasts for generations? In this episode of the Infinitely More Podcast, Nick Wierzbicki sits down with Grace Church Senior Pastor Jeff Bogue, Akron East intern Joseph Dotson, and Bath Campus resident Jocelyn Olminsky to talk about Grace’s deep commitment to developing young leaders. Jeff shares why Grace has invested so heavily in the next generation and why leadership development is about much more than simply filling ministry positions. Joseph and Jocelyn share their own stories of coming to faith, discovering their calling, being invested in by experienced leaders, and getting opportunities to carry real responsibility within the church. Together, they talk about what God is doing through ministries like Collective, the importance of developing both character and leadership ability, and what could happen when one generation intentionally prepares the next. Ultimately, this conversation points toward a much bigger vision: building a movement that continues to make Jesus make sense for generations to come. Join us as we look at what it means to develop leaders for a 300-year movement—and why investing in the next generation matters right now. Here at Grace we are blown away by all the ways God has been at work and the people’s willingness to say yes to doing the hard thing so that the Gospel can be advanced.
