Future-Casting with Scot Sherman: Listening for God’s Future
What if the future of the Church depends less on having the right answers and more on learning to discern where God is already at work? In episode 6 of Season 6, Nick Warnes sits down with Rev. Scot Sherman, founder and executive director of the Center for Church Innovation, to explore how faithful innovation begins with curiosity, humility, and spiritual leadership. Together, they discuss why certainty can become an obstacle to transformation, how existing churches can embrace change without abandoning their roots, and why listening–to God, to one another, and to our neighbors–is essential for cultivating a hopeful future for the Church. Drawing from decades of experience in church planting, congregational renewal, and denominational leadership, Scot offers a compelling vision for churches seeking to navigate change with courage and grace. If you're passionate about renewing existing churches, leading through uncertainty, or discovering how faithful innovation can emerge from deep spiritual practices and courageous experimentation, this conversation will encourage you to embrace the tension between tradition and transformation as you join God's work in the world.
