Church Health Does Not Mean Sanctuary Size but Missional Mobilization. Why Should Churches Foster Other Churches? Calvary Chapel and SBC Partnership. Why Should Churches Help Other Churches? Plus a South African Soda BURSTING with Flavor.
Aug 16, 202652 minS1
How can churches help other dying, declining, and plateauing churches, and WHY should they? The Health of a Church is Not Found in its Sanctuary Size but in the Great Commissional Mobilization of its people. Why Should Churches Foster (Help) Other Churches? Today we interview Pastor Ed Compean, a former missionary to Nairobi, Kenya, and a current Calvary Chapel pastor in Morro Bay, California, who is helping to foster an SBC church a few towns over. Why should a pastor from a different denomination invest time, resources, and care into a church that isn't local? What's the benefit? How is pastoring in Kenya different than pastoring in the U.S., and how is it the same? How Calvary Chapel and Southern Baptist Churches are partnering together for church health in California. We, as the church, want the overall Kingdom win. 4000 churches are shutting down in the US every year, and much less than that are being planted, and church plants have a low rate of success, so churches should help foster and revitalize other churches for the overall benefit of the Kingdom. The benefits of going to Replant Lab with Mark Clifton. When you help foster another church, your church reaps some potent benefits, including building up more and more effective leaders. A South African soda BURSTING with incredible flavor - like a rock concert turned up to 11. Rubicon Passion Fruit Soda is AMAZING. Is malic acid bad for you?
Navigating Change: Move the Coffee Machine Away From the Men's Bathroom! How can pastors build trust in new or hurting congregations? How Vulnerable Should Pastors Be When it Comes to Confessing Sins? + Great Soda Review and Possible Home Invasion.
Aug 8, 20261h 1mS1
Every Church Flourishing Episodes 29-30 Jeff Woolstenhulme and Michael Denton Practical Wisdom on Church Change for small and medium sized churches, and church replants. How can pastors build trust in new or hurting congregations? How Vulnerable Should Pastors Be When it Comes to Confessing Sins? Benign Neglect: Not everything needs to be changed. Also, during today's soda review, a possible home/office invasion happens - in progress - which may spell the end of Pastor Christopher Cole, co-host of the Every Church Flourishing podcast. Will PC survive? Listen to the end for the astonishing answer! Also: The conquest of Hawaii and which ECF host would be in favor of it. Pastor Christopher mentioned David Jackson's book, Falling in Love with Jesus Again, which is all about the importance of spiritual renewal in church revitalization, emphasizing soul care for leaders and congregations and helping churches by first focusing them on looking to Jesus and understanding what He desires to do with your church. Great news on that - we will have David Jackson on in the next few episodes to discuss that same book, so that's exciting! When should a church replant or revitalize team begin to emphasize outreach and evangelism? I don't trust people - and pastors - who aren't pretty transparent about confessing their sins. How can new pastors triage and determine what needs to be changed immediately and what can wait? For remaining members in a church replant situation, bring them along, don't push them aside.

Leading through Change. How Does Church Transformation Happen? Church Turnaround Stories: What is Church Replanting All About? Soda Review: "When I look at this can, it does not scream Ramadan to me."
Aug 3, 20261h 2m
Today we talk about change, transformation, church death, church renewal, church replanting and revitalization with Pastor Michael Denton of First Baptist Nipomo and Pastor Jeff Woolstenhulme of Foothills Baptist in Los Altos. A church in FBC Nipomo that had 6 members left, and a church in Foothills Baptist that had 8 members - both on the verge of death very recently- now both churches are on the road to recovery. How could that happen both spiritually and practically? God is often more concerned about our character and godliness than our mission and success. Pro tips for church leaders and pastors leading through any kind of change. 1. OVERcommunicate and continue communicating. 2. Grieve the thing that needs to go in preparation for the next thing. 3. Know your priorities and prioritize your schedule. 4. Preach to 8 people like you'd preach to 100. 5. Remember, if you are changing, revitalizing, or replanting, you are in it for the long haul and lean into slow and steady growth. How to preach through the book of Deuteronomy in FIVE sermons! If we force change, such change will be human-powered and therefore won't last. Why pastors generally lean into doing more than praying, and why that mindset is dangerous to our longterm health and the health of our church! Prayer does the work. Prayer changes people. "When I look at this can, it does not scream Ramadan to me." Kerry Goode's testimony. How can a church understand when the diagnosis is bad?

ECF Episode 28: Vision vs. Management, How Can Leaders Balance Confidence and Humility? + The Loneliness Epidemic: Finding Connection Shortage in an Online Society. + the Humility of "I Don't Know." Vision vs. Management: When Vision gets tired, Management takes over the wheel and drives the organization. Only trillionaires in California have 8 acres. Intro script. We are back with Missions Strategist Chris Reinolds, and today we pick up with the interview discussing leadership and pastoral loneliness, a topic we've hit a few times before. Pastors: Don't pretend to know all the answers! The strongest leaders realize they aren't always the smartest people in the room. Church people looking up to their pastors as spiritual gurus with all of the answers leads to dangerous dynamics, including loneliness for the pastor, lack of accountability for the pastor, and the elevation of flawed humans to positions that they are not fit to occupy. Why is it important for local churches and pastors to come together in associations? Lester's Fixins Buffalo Wing Soda - Like adding Tabasco sauce to cream soda.

Why are churches drifting away from their main purpose of discipleship? What is the cure for purpose drift? New Segment: Pastor Disaster - The (ALMOST) Missing Finger and MORE: with Chris Reinolds, the Strategic Outsider of Jacksonville, Florida
Jul 20, 202653 min
Today we talk to the Strategic Outsider, Chris Reinolds, a missions strategist from Northeast Florida. Chris is a great writer and thinker about the mission of the church, and he encourages us today to focus on those practices and programs that align with the church's primary mission, and to cut those things we don't which don't line up with our primary purpose. In addition, we also discuss: The aspects of pastoring that seminary doesn't prepare you for. Why church bylaws are probably more important than most pastors and church leaders realize. A church that isn't abiding by its bylaws opens itself up to big trouble in legal and lawsuit terms, even for unrelated issues.

What is the cure for purpose drift? The most valuable insights lie in the most difficult things to measure. Florida Man/Aligators/Shark Attacks Four questions to bring YOUR church to clarity in its mission and purpose: 1. Whose church is this? Christ's Church! 2. If this is Christ's church, what has He called us to do? Answer: The Great Commission by the means of the Great Commandment. 3. What are we currently doing in light of the Great Commission and the Great Commandment? 4. What are we going to do about the things we are doing that are NOT helping us to accomplish the Great Commission and the Great Commandment? Asking these questions, answering them, and then making changes based on the answers will sometimes bring about battles and battle scars for pastors and leaders, because change is often difficult and painful for everybody concerned. The dangers of seminary-trained pastors talking over the heads of church members about important biblical truths.
