Thinking Forward: Third-Culture Leadership

Published May 12, 2015

Who are the real change agents of a culture? In this Summit session, Pastor Dave Gibbons argues that culture can be most impacted by those on the fringes of culture. We often expect culture to be impacted from an epicenter of power outward, but what if that’s not the Biblical perspective on cultural change? Dave Gibbons calls for leaders to adopt, what he calls, a third-culture leadership perspective.
