Welcome to the L3 Podcast! We hope this podcast will be helpful to both you and your ministry.

Today, we have John Opalewski, owner and founder of Converge Coaching which is all about helping pastors getting and remaining spiritually and mentally healthy. Today, we discuss the trends of the current church. The first thing we're seeing is that people are HUNGRY for the Word of God. There is such a need for truth nowadays and people are recognizing that. How can we capitalize on this need? How can we bring the truth to them? There also has been a trend of building your staff from within. It's about finding those who have a call and training those in your church to lead and grow within your church.

Today, we have Julie Pratt, AG Director of Children's Discipleship, and one of our keynote speakers at our ACLC event sharing with us on how to minister to the next generation. How do we go about discipling the next generation? This is the most creative generation that will work jobs that don't even exist yet. How can we bring that creativity and mindset into the church?

Today we have Steve Samonek, senior pastor of Abundant Life Assembly, sharing on how to maximize your creativity and ministry effectiveness in a limited space or with limited resources.

Pastor Steve has had 18 years of experience figuring out this dilemma and is sharing his experience and expertise in this area.
