Learning Your New Church's Current Reality
As you get settled into your ministry at your new church, you will quickly discover its current reality. On this episode, Jason Lowe is joined by Alan Witham to discuss several practical tools that can help you learn that reality. We also discuss what to do if the current reality you find doesn't match the reality that was described to you by the Pastor Search Committee.
This episode is based on the article, "Learning Your New Church's Current Reality," written by Alan Witham. Other resources mentioned in this episode include:
