90-Minutes - Full Day

In improv - the mistakes are the best part. Much of comedy and storytelling wouldn't be discovered if it weren't for the breaks in the patterns, the unexpected failure, or the intersections where it seems like no way is the right way.

Get Off the Wall
Focuses:
-
Fear of Failure
-
Stagnation
-
Risk Management

90-Minutes - Full Day

Fear can cause us to stick to what is known instead of taking the wild risk of doing something. The biggest risk we face as a church is not taking any risk at all.

Taking the first step is scary, with good reason: The hassle. The feedback. The high potential for failure. But once we learn to think of risk & even failure differently - we can begin to create, experiment, and serve as builders of God’s Kingdom here. It starts with a step – and it may as well be yours...
