Change and innovation are about faithfulness to mission and listening to the spirit, and creating a culture that can respond to that.

In this recording, Dr. Jeff Carter, president of Bethany Theological Seminary, reflects on innovation as a long-term journey. Rather than seeking quick solutions, he emphasizes the importance of building trust, sustaining commitment to mission, practicing patient leadership, and adapting through ongoing iteration—all essential to forming institutions that remain faithful to their purpose over time.
