Join us as we speak with Rev. Lance Blythe, Associate Pastor at NewHope Baptist Church and Operations Manager of NewHope Community Care.

Lance shares on his experience diving headfirst into ministry governance and joining a board for the first time, including navigating the operations of a childcare centre in a mission-driven adventure, shedding light on the importance of trust in relationships for impactful decision-making.

Hear how effective systems can provide for long-term success in ministry settings, while flawed ones may lead to misalignment and conflict. Lance shares his personal experiences of balancing multiple leadership roles, from being a pastor and a father to serving on not-for-profit boards, while maintaining personal well-being and setting healthy boundaries.

The episode culminates in a reflection on leadership transitions, generational wisdom, and the joy found in community. We explore the relationship between youthful enthusiasm and seasoned experience within the church and the importance of humility and learning from one another.
