In this episode I interview Gary L. McIntosh, president of the Church Growth Network, professor at Talbot School of Theology (Biola University), and prolific author.
We talk about the principles in his just-released book, The Solo Pastor: Understanding and Overcoming the Challenges of Leading a Church Alone, by narrowing in on five of the main streams running through his book:
- The relentlessness of being a solo pastor
- How influence works in the solo-pastor church
- What expectations people have of the solo pastor
- Our connectedness to the congregation
- The great hopefulness of solo-pastoring
