127. Parents Can Make Great Leaders Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

#127 - When doing ministry, it can be easy to think that only a certain type of leader can work in a certain type of role. However, what would it look like if we expanded our definitions of what a good youth, kids, adult small group, etc. leader is? Often times, the people we don't think of have the potential to bring life experience, perspective, connection, and passion that we would otherwise glance over. In today's episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Dan Istvanik and discuss the wins of looking beyond our "classic" volunteer in order to breathe new life into our ministries.

123. Small Church Leadership May 23, 2022

Show notes

#123 - We’ve all read books and articles, attended breakouts and seminars, and listened to so many podcasts and speakers talk about what it takes to lead at large churches and organizations - but the reality is that a majority of churches in America are not mega churches. In fact, the average church size in America is 65 people, which begs the question - why is it that so much of our leadership training focusses on mega-church leadership? Well, in today’s episode of the podcast, Josh sits down with our friend Laurie Acker and talks about the realities, and even blessings, of leading at a smaller church.
