Yesterday I got frustrated while reading Tony Morgan’s latest blog post. But it wasn’t Tony’s fault.
Tony Morgan is the founder of The Unstuck Group and he’s starting a new series on growth strategies for churches of different sizes.
As a supporter and encourager of healthy small churches, I wasn’t frustrated that Tony will be writing about church growth. I was frustrated that he felt the need to defend himself over it.
