stanleyandy5 01Thoughtful discussion on what the mission of the church should be,

and how the leaders of the church can stay focused on Jesus and His vision to glorify God.

Andy Stanley interviews Ray Johnston, Senior Pastor of Bayside Church in Granite Bay, California, about the five questions that shape everything that Bayside does. With over 12,000 people in attendance on an average weekend, Bayside Church is one of the largest and fastest-growing churches in North America.

In this interview, Ray Johnston explores and explains the 5 questions that shape the culture of every church:
1. Are you mission and morale balanced?
2. Are you encouraged?
3. Are you operating with fresh vision from God-is it hot enough?
4. Are you unleashing compassion?
5. Are you dreaming God-sized dreams?

The Thrive Leadership Conference is sponsored by Thriving Churches International (TCI). Ray Johnston, the President of TCI, is also the Senior Pastor of Bayside Church. You can learn more about us by visiting our website at www.ThriveConference.org.
