In this Spiritual discernment is a key aspect of not only following Jesus, but also leading in ministry. As pastors and ministry leaders, what are we overlooking when it comes to spiritual discernment? In this week’s conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Stephen Macchia, founder of Leadership Transformations and author of The Discerning Life, as we explore what it means to embrace spiritual discernment, not just as a tool, but as a lifestyle.
