In this 7-minute interview, Dr. Barbara Williams-Skinner (CEO and Co-Founder of Skinner Leadership Institute) shares on the importance of creating community with young people and leaders outside the Church. By engaging with people in this way and by creating spaces where they are heard, seen and respected, space is created to help this group come to experience and know the love of Jesus Christ.
Throughout the interview, Dr. Williams-Skinner offers insights from her own experiences, both personal and professional, to share:
- why it's important to create community with young leaders outside the Church,
- how this cohort is searching for a safe space to be heard and grounded and how the institutional Church hasn't always offered them this space,
- why it's important to go where people are instead of expect people to come to you or their local church, and
- why it's crucial to invite people into Jesus, not just into the four walls of a church.
