Yes, you read that title right. This is the last episode.
But no, we aren’t stopping the podcast. In January, we’re changing the name.
In this special bonus episode, I have no guests. Instead, I talk about . . .
- The three big reasons we’re changing the name
- What the new direction will look like
- What the new name of the podcast will be
So What's The New Name?
Here’s a sneak peek at the name and logo.
The Church Lobby: Conversations on Faith & Ministry!
This will let us keep the original small-church intent of the podcast, while opening our subject matter to a broader range of topics and audiences.
