“What does ‘Distributing Power' look like for a congregation?” is a frequent question we get about our fourth adaptive muscle. Now we can say: listen to this interview with Mike Mather! Mike helps us make the connection between distributing power and abundance. When Mike and his congregation started actually living out their beliefs that everyone (both inside and outside of the church) has gifts, it changed their perspective–and their church–for the better. They began to look for the gifts their neighbors possessed instead of their needs. They shifted how they perceived their role in the community from being bringers of all good things to being connectors who bring people's gifts together for the good of the neighborhood. Mike is a powerful storyteller, we can't wait for you to hear this conversation! May his stories and lessons stick with you and inspire you to discover the gifts and power already at work in your neighbors and in your neighborhood.   QUOTES “She didn't need training. She needed people who saw she had gifts and power. That was when things really shifted for me.” -Mike Mather [12:58] “I would say what we often talked about it as was ‘How do we join the power that God has present in the lives of our neighbors?'” -Mike Mather [30:19]   TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [00:55] What it means to distribute power [04:41] Meet Mike Mather [05:29] What Mike hopes people get out of his book [08:01] The pivot in his life [13:15] How that impacted how his church did ministry [20:12] The impact to Mike as a leader [29:22] It changed their job descriptions [30:38] Point to where the power is at work [32:38] Where he met resistance and/or obstacles [43:31] Outro   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Read Mike Mather's book Having Nothing, Possessing Everything for more insights that inspire and equip leaders with very practical ideas for moving beyond buildings and into the streets.

For Episode 13, hosts Adam and Matt interview the person who inspired us to utilize an asset-based approach in our work: Rev. Mike Mather. The conversation was amazing, so we split the interview into two episodes, and this is the first of those episodes. Mike is a pastor at Broadway United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, and both he and his church participate in astounding asset-based work that has deeply transformed their community. But Mike has not always utilized an asset-based approach in his work, and neither has his church. In this episode, Mike outlines both his shift and the church's shift from scarcity to abundance, from creating programs to meeting neighbors. Like a couple of our other conversations, this conversation contains discussion of religious topics. We do not present these episodes to promote any one religion or being religious but instead because we think they are helpful and encouraging for all neighbors, religious and non-religious alike. We hope you enjoy!
