Side by Side: How to Shape an Irresistible Egalitarian Church Culture with Rev. Lisa Johnson

Watch this and other episodes of Mutuality Matters on CBE’s YouTube channel.

What could it look like to build an egalitarian culture in our churches and organizations? In this episode, Rev. Lisa Johnson, executive director of leadership formation for the ECO denomination, joins Layla and Rob to discuss culture change through proactively inviting women into leadership, doggedly pursuing the 30 percent rule, and being intentional about representation. Beyond her many practical exhortations, listeners will be compelled by Lisa’s description of a culture marked by God’s “irresistible vision” for women and men partnering together in ministry.
