Step Four – The Adaptable Playbook
Posted October 4, 2025
Good communication fuels lasting collaboration. In this episode, Chris Gough talks with Steve and Patti Buss (One Hope Network, Eugene, OR) about how prayer, storytelling, and clear vision help churches speak with one voice. From testimonies to billboards to the Overflow Hope project, discover practical ways communication builds unity and keeps the gospel at the center.
They answer the questions:
What kind of communication does it take to build a fruitful and mature city network?
How did your communications evolve over time as you learned and grew?
How does good communication lead to Gospel opportunities?
What happens when we do this well? What happens when we don’t?
