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!
