Episode 70 - Lessons From Two Laymen - What Every Pastor Needs To Hear

5/15/2014

 
This episode is a special one! It features a pastor of a 200church, and two of his Deacons - the first Deacons to speak on the 200churches Podcast! We are honored!

Pastor Mark Meyers is the pastor of Grace Bible Church in Warrenton, MO. The ministry leaders with him on this episode are Tory and Steve. These guys, with their families, are part of the Grace Bible congregation, and they are also part of the leadership team at Grace.

You will hear some very cool stuff from all three of these guys that will encourage you and challenge you as you lead in your 200church. Jonny and I had a blast talking with these guys, and when we were done recording, we spent some time just talking about our own church here in Iowa, and how we could integrate some of what we learned from Mark, Steve, and Tory.

Rather than writing a bunch of blather (is that what our blog posts are?!) we're just going to let you listen to episode #70 yourself. Plus, here are a number of pictures of the guys in their natural habitat, doing family and doing ministry. Together.

When we started 200churches, this is exactly what we envisioned - thousands of pastors being encouraged and challenged by other pastors doing ministry in the trenches just like they are. Enjoy the pictures, and thank you to Mark, Steve, and Tory!

GREAT podcast - A smart way to get the men of the church involved in reaching the unchurched.. take 39 minutes and give the podcast a listen too!! - is what i posted on Facebook ... it's time we get your podcast and facebook a little more focus ... let me know how i can help . Do you have a podcast on any 200 Church that has started a coffee house in their lobby ... my church at cccva.org is looking to brew one up this year ... keep up the great work --

Bobby, here is a link right to their "Cafe" page! http://www.maclifechurch.com/the-cafe.html#.U3QwN61dXD4

And, shoot me an email about how you can help. We won't be doing anything major until August - we are just too flat out busy until then. Thanks Pal!

Thanks for the comment, Bob! We don't have a podcast about starting a coffee shop but we do have some friends who have done it in their church! Here's their website: http://www.maclifechurch.com/ I'm sure Ron (head pastor) would be happy to give you the run down on the steps they took! Thanks for listening!

Is this a repeat? I have two episodes in my podcatcher. Episode 69 on may 7th and episode 70 on may 8th, and now episode 70 again.

Thought I would let you know.

It was a great episode. Listened both times.

Gary, no, not a repeat. I loaded this up in the pipeline on May 8 though, and when I did, it did some funky stuff, and by the time I had it locked in, there were 4 downloads in the stats for that episode. It should not have sent since I set it for May 14. But, there you go - you must be one of the four who got one. I mean, not that technology ever does funky stuff like that, right?

My best part of your comment? "Listened both times." I love it. Thanks for listening Pal. We are so pumped we get to provide encourage to awesome small church pastors who are loving God and loving their people. Rock on!
