Just showing up in people’s lives is such an important aspect of life and ministry.
In this conversation with Drew Dyck, we talk about why this is so important, as outlined in Drew’s new book, Just Show Up: How Small Acts of Faithfulness Change Everything (A Guide for Exhausted Christians).
Including:
- The value of our physical presence in pastoral ministry
- The importance of quantity vs quality time
- How showing up is not the end game, it’s the onramp for healthy life and ministry

How Congregations Can Help Pastors Overcome Declining Well-being
Pastors may be surrounded by people, but that doesn’t mean they have their support. It takes a church for a pastor to rest well.
De-Sizing the Church (pt 4): Unintended Consequences of the Church Growth Movement, with Bob Smietana (Ep 072)
While the Church Growth Movement created larger churches and opportunities, it also created larger dangers.
De-sizing The Church: Overcoming The Arrogance/Shame Cycle
“In the first twenty years of the movement, research focused on principles; lately the focus has been on discovering new techniques, programs, or methods.” (Elmer Towns)
