Karl Vaters has his own blog at www.NewSmallChurch.com and another called Pivot at www.ChristianityToday.com/KarlVaters - both for pastors of small churches!​ 

​
Karl is the author of The Grasshopper Myth and the pastor of
Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Fountain Valley, CA.

Karl is a frequent guest on our podcast - and you can find all of the episodes that he appears on - right on the podcast series tab above!

​Karl joined us to talk about pastoring unhealthy churches. 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! He's got all the points listed in the posts...
How to stay healthy while pastoring an unhealthy church.
Four proven strategies for the care and treatment of an unhealthy church.

Episode 192 - HELP! My Church Is In Maintenance Mode!

9/21/2016

 
Picture
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!

Lori & Thad Harris

​In episode 190, Jonny & Jeff talk to Lori Harris, a pastor's wife and church planting partner from Rocky Mount, NC. This episode is certain to surprise you, inspire you, and motivate you to believe that your small church can be a big deal in YOUR neighborhood!
Lori and her pastor-husband Thad lead the Fellowship Bible Church, a church not quite two years old.
They "do not program" at the church, but leave time for their people to do incarnational ministry in their community. The help the sick, feed the poor, encourage the weak, and visit the imprisoned.
Thad and Lori have six children. 
We don't want to give away any more info on the Harris Fam - You'll have to listen to this amazing episode to find true inspiration and encouragement in the story of their downtown ministry in Rocky Mount! You'll love it!
