CFTROU 0128: CFTROU Conference: Bonus Episode 2

On this episode, we’re joined today by special guests, Pastors Jonathan Akin (First Baptist Church Naples), Freddy Wyatt (Real Life Sango Church), and Corey Abney (Bell Shoals Baptist Church). They discuss how all of us have been impacted by COVID-19 and how that has affected the regathering of our churches. Today’s guests each share their journeys of navigating through this  pandemic, the repercussions of the pandemic, how they’ve stayed connected to their people, and how they’ve managed to grow relationships with their congregations.

Key Points:

How to leverage the pandemic as an opportunity to strengthen relationships with our congregations by getting to know them.

How working behind the scenes helps to lay the foundation for building rapport.

How to lead forward as an interim pastor.

The importance of creating a culture of evangelism and how to do that.

How regathering has influenced new visitors and impacted attendance.

Mental health in America and how the church can make a positive impact.

How younger leaders are processing the culture in today’s church: re-tooling, re-thinking, and re-focusing ministry.
