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

Today, we are joined by Yolanda Mendez, Executive Pastor at Blue Roof Church in St. Joseph, Michigan, to discuss the inseparable twin engines of church growth: Evangelism and Discipleship. Is evangelism just an event on the calendar, or is it a lifestyle of proximity? Pastor Yolanda shares how her church uses interest-based "Blue Groups", from pickleball to crafting, to create natural opportunities for the Gospel by simply doing life with people. Pastors Aaron and Yolanda discuss why compassion must be the fuel for evangelism, the critical "warm transfer" into discipleship, and why the window to connect a new believer to a friend has shrunk from six months to just three. If you are looking for practical ways to move your congregation from sitting in rows to serving in circles, this episode is packed with wisdom.
