Joy Fueled and Jesus Led – Details, episodes & analysis

Lk10 trains spiritual moms and dads to form Joy-fueled, Jesus-led communities of practice. In this video podcast they gather together from the US, England, Ireland, and India to share around

1. How LK10 creates spaces for securely attached community to form
2. What practices have been most transformative
3. What pitfalls we should aviod in nurturing hesed community this way.

In this “Struggling to Stay Joy fueled and Jesus Led, Toni and Matt discuss the dangers of believing that God desires us to run fast and far to complete the great commission. What if we are to run when He says run and rest when He says rest and wait when he says wait? How would that change the way we approach ministry and the way we do or do not judge others?

In this episode, Toni has the joy of interviewing her good friend, colleague and fellow author of Relational Revolution and Joy Fueled, Dr. Kent Smith. A professor of 30+ years at Abilene Christian University and co-founder of LK10 and the Eden Center for Regenerative Culture, Dr. Smith has lived a lifetime experimenting with learning communities and is a master architect of creating communities that can love and lead well together with each other and with God. The inability to healthily make decisions together has brought about more division and corruption of power in the church (and world for that matter) than almost any other issue. Dr. Smith shares with us his journey into what he has coined “Divine Governance” and how it creates a way for the Kingdom of God to break forth as a result of every voice reflecting the image of God.
