138 | A Healthy Leadership Transition – Mike Bullmore & Brett Wendle

Picture it: For 25 years, you’ve been setting the example and influencing the trajectory — now it’s time to step back so the next generation can step up.
People you know & love are trusting you to handle this well.
Soon, the organization will be bumped by this change, and what’s inside will spill out.

This might be the defining moment of your leadership.
Ready or not, the time to say goodbye is here.

Mike Bullmore and Brett Wendle are both Christian men, husbands & fathers. Recently, Brett was installed as the new Senior Pastor of Crossway Community Church.
Which was a historic moment in the life of Crossway; a Senior Pastor transition hadn’t ever happened before.
Mike was the senior pastor for 25 years, which takes Crossway back to its first days in 1999.

This episode is about their leadership transition.
