THE ENNEAGRAM
HOST: Jeff Lockyer
GUEST: Carrie Jones
For Christians and church communities in recent years, The Enneagram has become a power tool for personal growth and team development. If you’ve never heard of it, join us as we learn from Enneagram-certified Leaders’ Village consultant Carrie Jones, and discover the basics of what all the fuss is about.
More than that, discover how The Enneagram serves to move people closer to Jesus, and how it can become an integral tool in your personal spiritual growth and self-leadership. And, beyond that, discover how to leverage The Enneagram for team settings, in order to grow in awareness and appreciation of those you live and work most closely with, to turn differences into a strength instead of a struggle!
For local church and ministry leaders, The Enneagram can be an invaluable resource to bring people together and move them towards Jesus. Discover how, as we learn from an expert on the subject!

Queer Prophets
HOST: Jeff Lockyer
GUEST: Greg Paul
COMING May 2022
Before the pandemic, the primary way the church was dividing seemed to be over the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people. As local churches and ministries across the country and around the world seek to have more Jesus-like impact on LGBTQ+ people and families that have been hurt and marginalized by the church, even today, many local churches and denominations are ravaged over how to navigate the seemingly divergent and incompatible theological approaches to changing their impact.
This month, join us as pastor and author Greg Paul shares his personal journey of years of biblical and spiritual reflection on how to serve the LGBTQ+ community in the most Jesus-centred way. As someone who’s embraced the values of both the traditional and affirming viewpoints, discover how he’s reconciled his own approach and how he encourages churches full of people with both views to move forward in unity and harmony.
And – more than anything – learn from Greg how people on the margins can often give the church the greatest glimpse of Jesus. And discover, in this case, how we can hear God uniquely and powerfully through the Queer Prophets among us!

Featured ArticleFOUR DIFFERENT WAYS TO MEASURE SUCCESS: METRICS FOR A NEW ERA OF CHURCH
The fall is always significant for leaders in local churches because it represents the launch season of your annual rhythm.

Featured Article4 Ways to Strengthen Your Leadership Structure
In a world of increasing polarization, scandals and abuses, people are hungry for a better brand of leadership. Lately, there seems to be growing conversation around the structure of leadership required to achieve that, suggesting “flat organizational charts” or “leaderless institutions” are becoming a growing trend.
Featured ArticleThe Length of Your Race Determines Your Pace
How hard should a leader push if they want to give their very best? This can be a tricky question to answer. What makes this question so tricky is that its answer is relative. It depends. Specifically, it depends on how long you want to effectively lead. It depends on the span of leadership for which you’re defining “best”.

A fresh approach to ministryFinding Our Way
What if the way the Church is “doing church” is the very reason the world is seeing less of Jesus in it every day?
Beginning with the biblical basics, Jeff Lockyer walks readers through the underlying theology and practical application of how Southridge Community Church has approached ministry for nearly a quarter century. While providing a fresh approach to ministry, the book stimulates how to think-not what to think. It’s written by a local church practitioner for local church practitioners.
By providing clarity to the confused, it helps church leaders find their way. By providing practical examples delivered uniquely in multiple church contexts, it supports leaders in finding their own way. And, most of all, by re-framing the operation of the church around fostering full devotion instead of facilitating consumerism, it enables leaders of local churches to reclaim the lifestyle of Jesus among its people. It supports churches and leaders to find their Way-the Way of Jesus.
