Ep. 17 | Leaders in Uncertain Times w/ Brent Chapman
The ability to navigate through change has always been an important skill for leaders to have, but never so much as in this year called 2020. In a time filled with more rapid change than most of us have ever seen in our lifetime, every single one of us has found ourselves in the position of having to lead through uncertainty.
So how do we keep moving forward when the only thing that’s certain is that everything is uncertain?
This is the topic of conversation in this episode as David Horita, our Regional Director at Fellowship Pacific, talks with Brent Chapman, Lead Pastor of Southridge Fellowship Church and President of Fellowship Pacific. They talk about the things that are most important for church leaders to be thinking about when it comes to their leadership as well as what needs to change in them.
BRENT CHAPMAN
Brent and his wife Pam have been at SouthRidge Fellowship for all 24 years of its existence, serving the last 15 years as the Lead Pastor. During his time at SouthRidge, he has been part of leading the church through several stages of growth, including moving from a small church of 40 to a large church of over 600 on a Sunday morning and building a 4.8 million dollar facility.
He graduated from TWU in 1993 and Northwest Seminary in 2001. Brent has served on several of our Region’s boards, commissions, task forces, and consultation teams. He is currently serving as the President of our Regional Board.
Brent’s ministry passions include all things about leadership, leadership development, and global missions. Brent’s other passions include his children and two grandchildren, using his hands to work on projects around the house, and trying to mock David Horita whenever he can.
Some useless trivia about Brent: he was born in Medellin Colombia; is colour blind (red-green); married for 26 years; wished he had 3 more inches of vertical so he could easily dunk a basketball; loves eating seafood; watching action movies; and is a charter member in three Fellowship Pacific churches.
