Series 3 - Ep 9 Bonus: How churches can respond to change with wisdom and grace

Share 

“You’re learning to value every voice, not just listen to every voice… but value every voice.”

Adrian Reynolds

In this short bonus conversation, Jason Roach speaks with Linda Allcock and Adrian Reynolds about how churches can navigate resistance to change with patience, humility and gospel confidence.

Linda reflects on the witness of church history, reminding us that real renewal comes through the power of God’s word and Spirit. And Adrian helpfully unpacks the reasons why people can resist change, showing that “no” may mean many things: including concerns about pace, method, or timing.

With honesty and hope, this episode encourages churches to see change as a shared journey – not simply towards new structures, but towards deeper love for the gospel and more courageous everyday evangelism.

This episode is a follow-on from the main conversation with Adrian and Linda: How to Help Your Church Become More Mission‑Focused

“...the most powerful agent for change in the lives of those who are resistant to it is probably outside of me. The power has got to be coming from God, from his Spirit, from his word, from me praying for them.”

– Linda
