Ron Friedman on the three traits that separate high-performing teams from average ones, starting with something as basic as a shared goal.
Plus, Carey and Ron discuss why your best people quietly use side gigs to sharpen skills they can’t develop at work, and the uncomfortable truth about AI: everyone wants to use it; nobody wants to receive it.

AI AND THE FUTURE CHURCH
AI and the Future Church has been out for two months, and your reviews have blown me away. Pastors are using it to start real conversations about AI in their churches.
If you haven’t grabbed your copy yet, it’s available wherever books are sold, and the free AI Hub at AIFuture.church keeps growing.
GENERIS
I’ve partnered with Generis to bring you Generosity360 Cohorts, a coaching program for churches with annual giving between $250,000 and $750,000 that want generosity to permeate their church culture.
Enrolment is open through December, with cohorts starting in January. Go to generis.com/carey.
THE EXCHANGE
Each week on The Exchange, Ed Stetzer brings together theologians, pastors, researchers, and cultural voices for thoughtful conversations about what’s happening in the church while it’s still happening.
He also helps listeners consider what these changes mean, where the church may be headed, and how Christian leaders can respond faithfully.
Listen to The Exchange with Ed Stetzer, available wherever you get your podcasts.
