In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Aaron Coe. He serves Passion City Church in Strategic Initiatives. During their conversation, they discuss the importance of connecting with people and how the church needs to consider the urban age. BEST QUOTES "Anytime you face conflict, it's designed to sharpen you and to help you become a better leader."

"Whether you are associated with something like Passion that has a global reach, or you are a brand new church planter just getting started, you really aren't immune to the handwork of having to get out there and connect with people right where they are."

"The hinge cities of the world are on our radar, and we are just praying where and when next."

"I want my leadership legacy to be that I spent my life helping to build Jesus' church."

"I really want to help the evangelical church in America think about the urban age. Because in 2007 we crossed over into the urban age, so we are all city people now. As I think about the church in America in particular, we are really not urban-minded, we tend to be suburban-minded or rural-minded."

"The best advice I've ever been given is to not fear. A lot of times we have this fear of man that holds us back from potential."

"If you take anything day by day and set your mind to it, there's pretty much not anything you can't accomplish."

"Probably gone are the days when you can afford to just have a building and use it a day and a half a week and it sits empty the other five or six days."

"We have lived in an era where you can separate out the uses for property. You can have your entertainment district over here and your business district over here and your residential over here. And I think what we are going to find is it's probably healthier if all those things are mixed anyway. I think the church is going to benefit from being right in the heart of the places where people want to be." RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Pipeline 2018 conference
