Building the Church When the World Moves On

• Hey friend, welcome to the Life and Leadership Podcast. I am so glad that you’re here. We’re building such an empowering and faithfilled community here and it means so much to me that you’ve chosen to spend your time with us here today. Now, I’m really excited about this episode because truly I have been going to Sweden every year for the last 28 years.
• I’ve been ministering in Sweden. And you may not know this about me because I’m a little bit older, but I am an ABBA fan. So, when I got my first invitation to Stockholm, I was on that plane because I love ABBA. Now, I need you to know I’m joined by my friend Lena Neielson today, who’s the lead pastor of Hillsong, Sweden, and she’s my co-conspirator with Empower 21.
• She leads our whole Scandinavian uh women’s alliance over there for E21 and we have been friends for decades. She and her husband Andreas are leading a multicampus church in one of the most secular nations in the world. And I’ve got to tell you, I’ve seen this church from the day it was birthed. They’re doing it with boldness and grace and vision.
