On this very special episode of the 200churches podcast, we welcome Kayla Craig to talk about the experience of being a pastor's wife and what pastors and church leaders need to hear and learn from their spouses. Kayla is a journalist turned work-at-home mom and co-host of Upside Down--a podcast about living in the upside down Kingdom of God. She also authored a children's book that you should absolutely purchase because 100% of the proceeds go toward funding adoption grants for families growing their families. 

Kayla is the mom of four crazy kiddos: Joseph, Asher, Eliza, and Abram, and has been a ministry spouse for just over 5 years. Sheis a gifted writer and communicator who loves talking about faith and culture and enjoying a good cup of coffee.

Oh, and she also happens to be married to Jonny.

Happy listening!

For the second week in a row we are happy to welcome someone named John all the way from Australia! On today's episode, John Hardy joins us to share his story of pastoring small churches and his experience from coaching small church pastors!

John has a simple message for our listeners today: what's important isn't the size of your church, but the health. That's always a welcome message for pastors who are inundated with messages that they need to grow grow GROW, and the message is even more welcome coming from someone with a smooth aussie accent.

John also encourages pastors to believe in both themselves and their leadership - trusting in God to guide them and grow the church how He sees fit! He encourages pastors to be both chaplains and leaders. Most of us are good at the chaplaincy part, but we sometimes shy away from leadership - John encourages both!

Don't miss out on our conversation with John and check out his work at Peak Consultancy!

Episode 258 - Jeff & Jonny's 5 Hot Ministry Realities for 2018!

1/3/2018

 
Picture
The guys got together just after the New Year to talk about what they see as the hot ministry realities they will face in 2018. Things like foreboding world problems, political exhaustion, social polarization, sporadic church attendance (and its ministry implications), sharpening our saws, technology distractions, etc...

These are things that are faced by all pastors, including pastors of small churches. Things like having too many volunteers and too much money, and not enough seats never actually come up! LOL

This is a #classic episode as Jeff and Jonny speak from years of experience, some together and some not - with a heart for pastors like you and they themselves! We know you'll be encouraged and challenged by their conversation on episode 258!
