E^3 Leadership Episode: A conversation with Mykelti Blum and Peggy Vagle, co-church planter and women’s ministry leader of The Waters Church in Sartell, MN. In this episode, they discuss the concept of “Perspective in the Middle.” Each of us are currently in the middle of our story, our struggle. In books, movies, or heroic stories of the Bible, we get the benefit of reading the whole story–beginning, middle, and end. Being a leader challenges us to change our perspective so we can lead from the middle of our story. In order to have a miracle, we must have a middle!” Visit mnbtg.org, or follow @MNBTG on social media to stay up to date on more from Bridging the Gap.
