40: What’s the Research Telling Us About Church Trends? Guest: Glenn Packiam
For over 30 years, The Barna Group has conducted research in the area of faith, culture, leadership and vocation. In 2020 they conducted a new study and collaborated with Glenn Packiam to author a book that shared their recent research results in a way that helped pastors grapple with how to pastor in this rapidly changing culture. The result was The Resilient Pastor: Leading Your Church in a Rapidly Changing World.

{00:10:40} A visit with Eugene Peterson
{00:13:17} The pastor credibility problem
{00:21:15} How Glenn came to be an ordained Anglican preach at a nondenominational church
{00:27:16} How do we measure discipleship?
