#5 Planting and Leading in Vastly Different Contexts, with Craig Herbert

About this episode

Craig and Taryn Herbert discuss their experiences leading churches in diverse cultural contexts.

Craig & Taryn Herbert lead Citadel, NYC - a city with a different culture to the one they grew up in. Craig & Taryn's journey includes leading a site of Cornerstone Church in South Africa, then joining a church's leadership team in Wichita (Kansas, USA) before moving to NYC to plant a church - which ended up becoming a transition instead. In this interview we unpack their journey and Craig's thoughts on leading in these vastly different contexts.
