Metanoia for Missional Leadership

In this teaching, Alan Platt calls leaders to embrace Metanoia — a genuine change of mind, language, and values — as the foundation for effective missional leadership. Rather than measuring success by church size or Sunday attendance, Alan challenges leaders to reimagine their role: from building inward-facing congregations to influencing entire cities, from preaching a gospel of personal salvation alone to embodying the full Gospel of the Kingdom, and from positioning the church against culture to becoming a bridge-building, city-blessing presence. Through eight practical and provocative shifts, this teaching equips leaders to connect Sunday’s faith with Monday’s life, move from encouraging to equipping, and trade an ego-driven ministry model for an eco-system approach — joining hands with others for greater Kingdom impact. It is a call not just to change what we do, but to fundamentally transform how we think about what the Church is for.
