Book discussion
How To Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going: Leading in a Liminal Season
by Susan Beaumont
Liminality is defined as the transitional phase between two different states—the threshold between what was and what is coming. Many congregational leaders recognize that they are in that transitional place. The church they were trained to lead is receding in the rear-view, and what is emerging isn’t fully known or understood yet.
Author and consultant Susan Beaumont offers practical and inspirational guidance for leaders living in the threshold between past and future.
Circuit Rider John Fillmore will facilitate a 7-week discussion on Beaumont’s book beginning on February 3, 2026. Sessions will be held weekly, Tuesday evenings beginning at 7:00 pm ET (4 pm Pacific) and participants may request CEUs from the Brethren Academy for a cost of $10.
