Healthy Church Growth Show With Madge Obaseki

In this bonus episode, I was invited to talk about my academic research and work with churches around retention challenges. I am grateful to Esther Littlefield and Holly Cyr Cain from the Purposeful Leadership: Christian Woman leadership podcast (link below). I talk about why people could be leaving the global church, the importance of Small Groups, styles of leadership which might lead to retention problems. We also discussed whether people should be serving as soon as they commit to a home church before discipleship and indeed what discipleship actually is? Seems some think it is a course, rather than a life-long learning. I believe Jesus set the example we should all be duplicating. Enjoy this episode & please support Esther and Holly in their work.
