Join Andy Addis and Danny Payne for a discussion on a gift God has given the rural church in older members. Retirees can be one of the greatest assets a church has, if we see them that way. Volunteering, serving and ownership all give older congregation members a purpose that can align with the vision of the church. Don’t miss out on one of the greatest gifts God has given you, and don’t write off one of the most important assets in your Church workforce!

Rural Pastor Podcast host Andy Addis welcomes Kevin Ferstl to the show for a discussion on bridging the digital gap. There are resources that the smallest congregation can use to give them the same audience space of any mega Church. And, they’re not too expensive, they’re not too hard, and it may be your next step in reaching your mission field. Whether you love digital options, are scared to jump in, or even hate tech… listen, close, because maybe one of your “next” moves just over that digital gap.

Join North American Mission Board director of rural strategies Andy Addis and Associational Mission Strategist Danny Payne for discussion on the need to change our metrics. In rural America, where the average church is 67 people or less, we need to quit asking the question, “How many you running?” There are better ways to gauge church health and better ways to celebrate the success God has given you in the Kingdom. Listen and be ready to start counting things differently!
