What's the difference between an unhealthy church and a toxic church? How do you pastor an unhealthy church? Is pastoring one really that different from pastoring a healthy church? And, how can you stay healthy as a pastor when you are trying to bring a church back to good health? Karl is full of good wisdom and advice in this episode - we hope you find encouragement and hope as you listen. Here are links to the two blog post by Karl that we referred to in this episode!

Our guest today is Dan Reiland - you can find him at DanReiland.com and on Twitter @DanReiland.
Here's another classic episode with Dan "the Animal" Reiland! "Rev. Reiland" is the Executive Pastor of 12Stone Church in Atlanta GA. 12Stone is a church with nine locations and about 17,000 weekend attenders. Dan is uniquely suited to speak to small church pastors because he pastors all the pastors in his own church! And each of those pastors in turn pastors a "small church" within their larger ministry. Dan first appeared on the 200churches Podcast back in August of 2013, in episode 33! Is your church in maintenance mode? If it were, how would you even know? This episode was taken from one of Dan's best blog posts titled, "7 Signs Your Church May Be In Maintenance Mode." There's still time to register for the Small Church Big Deal Conference in Fenton, MI on October 1, 2016!
