Today on Church Leadership Radar: Longtime Grace to You leader Phil Johnson shares that his multiple myeloma has returned less than three months after going into remission—a reminder to pray for the aging voices who shaped so much of our theological libraries. Plus, new research from the Hartford Institute's Faith Communities Today study shows megachurches make up less than 1% of U.S. Protestant congregations but draw 17% of all church-goers. We also cover a practical piece on five steps for church staff navigating a senior pastor who avoids or delays decisions.
