Every Pastor Podcast

2021 is here... now what? What are some trends we can expect and prepare for as we lead our churches? Brady Shearer or ProChurchTools put out an incredibly insightful video on this subject earlier in the week. This week, Pastors Adam Clagg and Brandon Johns are joined by their friend, Pastor Alan Rogers to discuss some of these topics and how our churches can be better prepared.

Here's a link to the video -  https://youtu.be/MkfyP2hh0Oc

Have you had communication breakdown?  How many times have you been so frustrated with something because it wasn't communicated well? Today Pastors Adam Clagg and Brandon Johns talks about the how, when, where, and why on communicating information to the church.  They also talk about different tools that are at our disposal to communicate well.

Many holidays are always on a Sunday, while others are celebrated with a long weekend. Other holidays just happen to fall on Sunday some years.  What should churches do?  Do we ignore that Valentine's Day, Independence Day, and Halloween all fall on a Sunday in 2021?  In this episode, Pastor Adam and Pastor Brandon share some ideas for using holiday celebrations as outreach to the community, ministry to our congregations, and also glorifying the Lord.  Please share your ideas by visiting our Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/everypastorpodcast The Every Pastor Podcast with Adam Clagg & Brandon Johns Do you want to start a BLOG?  Click here to get started: https://www.bluehost.com/track/everypastor By using our affiliate link, you help support our podcast. https://www.facebook.com/everypastorpodcast

How do we navigate the next 12 to 18 months post-quarantine?  In this episode, we reflect on a workshop we attended about developing strategies and direction for the church in 2021. How can we move from reactive to proactive so our greatest days are ahead of us?  This episode will give you some ideas on reaching your members who have not returned, while also reaching new people who are looking for a safe and exciting church that is "on mission" and will help them have real relationships. 

Please share this podcast with a few pastor friends and feel free to comment with your ideas, opinions, and resources.

What does a pastor do all day? In this episode, two above-average pastors of normal-sized churches share their daily and weekly routines.  Pastor Adam (a night owl who does not keep office hours) and Pastor Brandon (a morning person who keeps regular office hours) discuss how they each get ministry done each day and plan their 40+ hour work weeks. They explain some things they have learned over the years about keeping a healthy rhythm while living the strange ministry schedule.  Adam and Brandon both have children at home, so they also discuss the importance of family time.  Share this episode with a friend who spends the week preparing sermons, writing, visiting, planning, and providing vision for the congregation.
