We live in an increasingly insular world. Too often community changes go unnoticed by those of us in the church. We read the newest census report and wonder where they got their “facts.” In this episode, Drs. Bill and Kris offer strategies on how to explore the community that “is” rather than the community that “was” by using demographics, psychographics, and plain old observation. Part 2 of 3 in the Who Moved My Church? series.

This is one of those “They didn’t teach me that in seminary or Bible school” episodes. Few pastors are prepared for the reality that if there is money to raise that the buck is ultimately going to stop with them. In this episode, Drs. Kris and Bill with guest Clif Christopher (author of Not Your Parents’ Offering Plate) provide tools, tips, and insights to help pastors keep ministry in the black.
Ever notice how often churches seem to split over theological issues? Occasionally a “little” issue will frustrate a church, but it’s those big issues like abortion, alcohol, homosexuality, political stances, and so on that divide the church right down the middle. In this episode, Drs. Kris and Bill will drill down to the root cause of these conflicts … beliefs … and offer so thoughts on how churches can bullet-proof themselves from these kinds of issues by developing their Bedrock Beliefs.
