Strategic planning is not the best way to clarify purpose during a liminal season. Traditional strategic planning makes linear assumptions about how the future will unfold. We are standing here, and we want to get there. These incremental steps will take us there. In liminal seasons learning and logic are not linear. We build the bridge as we walk on it. Carefully crafted plans may inhibit the journey by locking us into decision-making rather than letting us discern our way to the other side.
