by Karl Vaters

My podcast guest this week is Matt Branaugh on the important subjects of law, tax and finances in the church. Matt is an Attorney at Law and Content Editor for Church Law & Tax.

In this conversation, we talk about some of the biggest recent issues in these important areas – you know, the things we hate to deal with, but need to take care of. Thankfully, Matt knows how to talk about them in compelling, clear and applicable ways.

Topics include:

The Top 5 Reasons Churches End Up in Court
Keeping kids safe
The latest on ministers housing allowance
How to safely reopen your church building without undue exposure to legal liability

This conversation will help you know that you and your church are not alone if you’re facing these issues, where you can go to get help, and how to be proactive instead of waiting for something bad to happen.
