200churches Podcast: Ministry Encouragement for Pastors of Small Churches

Pastor Jake Fierberg is a bivocational pastor in Aurora CO. He talks with Jeff and Jonny about the blessings and challenges of working a secular job and pastoring a small congregation. This is a FANTASTIC episode - encouraging and inspirational! Jake has been a listener to the podcast for over five years and is now a personal friend of Jeff and Jonny... and maybe even N.T. Wright (more on that in a future episode!)

Jeff and Jonny speak with Dave Runyon, the author of The Art of Neighboring. You can find Dave's work at www.artofneighboring.com. This was a fun episode for the guys to record LIVE with Dave!

Jon Dunwell has been in ministry for 25 years from Student to Senior Pastor in churches small and large. He is a John Maxwell Certified Speaker, Trainer, and Coach. Jon talks with Jeff in this episode about effective follow up for first time guests, and gives detailed advice for how you can begin to improve your follow up of first time guests beginning this coming weekend!

Pastor Scott Buell was tired, hopeless, out of shape, overweight, and frustrated with himself. He could not manage his diet or health. After listening to Episode 332 of 200churches, he took action. What he has experienced is amazing! This is his story.

Jeff met Gabe in San Salvador, El Salvador's capital city. They quickly became friends and Jeff was certain that Gabe had a message for our 200churches pastors. So late one night they sat down, put Jeff's iPhone between them, and recorded this raw, unedited conversation. This is Gabe's story. A story of tragedy, grace, and redemption. A story of HOPE. We know you will be both encouraged and challenged by it. Here it is, unedited, exactly as it was recorded...

Jeremy Norton, pastor of MountainView Church in Whitehorse, Yukon CANADA joins us after two years more of ministry to give us an update on how he is doing pastoring his 200church in Whitehorse. Name change and salvations are a couple items we discuss...
