Summary

When I have conversations with Emanuel Prinz, I feel like I’m sitting down with the equivalent of Jim Collins in the business world.

Emanuel Prinz helps ministries grow to movements. Find out more: www.catalyticleadership.info . Find the book we talked about today, "What Actually Starts Movements," on Amazon .
