Welcome to the introductory episode of The Church Lobby: Conversations on Faith & Ministry! (formerly, Can This Work in a Small Church?)
In this bonus episode I talk about some of the big news coming from this ministry over the next year or two, including the reasons for the podcast name change, such as:
- The church lobby is where the church meets and does ministry
- The church lobby moves conversations from the stage to the floor
- The church lobby is a good place to take the temperature of a church’s health
Most of our real-life conversations about faith and ministry happen in church lobbies, both as a congregation and pastor-to-pastor.
In The Church Lobby podcast, that’s what we’ll continue to do, always keeping the emphasis on the small-church perspective.

The Delegating Pastor: Do Less Stuff, Get More Done
It may be hard to delegate. Especially when it seems like there’s no one to delegate to. But it’s easier – and more biblical – than not delegating at all.

Making Disciples Without Overworking the Pastor (A Simple, Five-Step Process)
Small churches can use our personal touch to help new believers grow in the way that suits them best.

Want Better Discipleship? Mentoring Is Better Than Curriculum
Curriculum doesn’t connect us to a church body. People do. People who love Jesus and show us how to love him, too.
