PODCAST OUTLINE:
Here are the six words that the guys talk about on this podcast:
  • Uniqueness - Because of your size, you have the opportunity to be a very unique church in your community. What is it about your church, that has drawn in the people who attend? They have chosen your church for a reason. Key in on what makes your church unique, lean into it, take it to the next level, and up your church health.
  • Agility - Your church can turn on a dime, switch horses in the middle of the stream, and experience change much faster than a larger church can. Use that to your advantage.
  • Intimacy - Obviously this is one of the strongest dynamics in a small church. Use it, but don't abuse it. Don't let an "us four and no more" attitude take over. Allow the intimacy to deepen relationships and to build relationships with new people. But because you are a small church - enjoy the closeness you can experience that would be simply lost in a large crowd.
  • Creativity - Because you have fewer people and resources, sometimes necessity is the mother of invention! When you have less, you get creative. Dan talks about how creative he has seen small church leaders become - making greatness with few resources. Jonny and Jeff talk about "the boxes" that the people in their church still remember.
  • Seeds - what are you planting in your people and in your community? Who is your church sending out around your area and beyond? What kinds of seeds has got created your church to sow? Every church can sow seeds of significant Kingdom impact.
  • Favor - God's favor is not only upon large churches! In fact, the size of the church has nothing to do with God's favor - God's favor will come to those who believe him. Faith is an important quality for the people of God. We do what we believe and we become what we believe. When we truly believe God, his favor shines on us.
This is just an outline of the podcast, which includes so much more. We hope you are encouraged and challenged as you listen to it. Your ministry matters - to the people in your church, and especially to the people in your community - the ones who aren't there yet. As you LOVE your people, that love will change lives, and those lives will change your community. It really can all start with - a pastor's LOVE for his or her people. Go for it Baby!!
