This week, we continue a series - that is also old. At the start of the pandemic, Mike Ward, GSB Partner, and Mitzie Schafer, GSB Consultant hosted a 6-week series on navigating the pandemic for congregations and nonprofits to finish strong despite the changing circumstances due to Covid. That podcast was released long before the Center for Generosity was even an idea.
Now, we are getting weekly requests for that old content that was hosted on a different site and no longer exists, so we dug through our files and found them.
We will be launching the "meat" from each of those 6 podcasts. The schedule is below. After revisiting each episode, we believe the content is still very relevant even though we have no idea when or if the pandemic will actually end.
