New podcast for pastors on leading churches in tough times
I recently sat down with Joe Sangl, pastor of financial counseling and planning with NewSpring Church, Patrick Johnson, VP of Strategic Partners and Church Services with National Christian Foundation, Bret Robbe, director of leadership and adult ministry publishing with LifeWay Church Resources, and Ashley Clayton, associate VP for stewardship with the Executive Committee of the SBC to answer the question: How can pastors lead their churches through tough economic times?
It was an amazing experience to sit down with some Christian thought leaders to ask the questions that are being discussed by pastors today and listen to the practical advice that will ultimately help pastors know what the next step is.
I'm pleased to announce that our first-ever podcast is now available for download.
I need your help. The only way this will help pastors is if they know that this podcast exists. Please distribute a link to this podcast to all the pastors you know. The quicker we can provide lifelines to our pastors burdened with the uncertainty of these tough economic times, the better equipped they will be to be the spritiual leader God has called them to be.

After you've listened, please leave your thoughts as a comment on the blog.

Great podcast! As I have watched pastors wring their hands in dismay over this present economy I have tried to say it is our greatest opportunity since 9/11. This podcast gives practical advice and hope. Now if I can only figure out how to copy it to my blog.
