A free four-week webinar series with Jonny Baker and guests, run in partnership between HeartEdge and Church Mission Society (CMS). Sign up here for access to all the webinars, running on these dates:

13 January: Be You
20 January: See
27 January: Build
3 February: Change

As a pioneer, you see something — a possibility, an idea, a way that things could be better or new of different. Then you make something happen out of what you see.

This webinar series explores over four weeks how pioneering happens in practice. Its focus is how things happen on the ground. Each week Jonny will have two or three guests and get into the gritty day to day of how they pioneer.
