“A church has to be permission givers, and church leadership have to be permission givers. So when somebody comes in and says, I have this great idea, it’s like, go for it. It doesn’t have to go to six committees. It doesn’t have to be approved in the budget a year from now. It’s go for it. We’ll find the money and the resources. Let’s do it. Let’s try it. That’s what I wanna see in the church. And I think those are the churches that are being successful right now. They’ve just been giving permission to these new ways to be church.” - Rev. Dr. Karyn Wiseman
