Recently, I was interviewed about small churches by two great ministries.

Thom Rainer, Jonathan Howe and I talk about Five Big Problems For Small Churches.
2. The Encouraging Pastors Blog
In Your Church Is Big Enough: Karl Vaters Talks Small Church Health, Lawrence W. Wilson and I talk about pastoral longevity in the small church, what does a great small church look like? and more.
