This week, we continue a series - that is also old. At the start of the pandemic, Mike Ward, GSB Partner, and Mitzie Schafer, GSB Consultant hosted a 6-week series on navigating the pandemic for congregations and nonprofits to finish strong despite the changing circumstances due to Covid. That podcast was released long before the Center for Generosity was even an idea.
