Rainer on Leadership

Speaking in Tongues and Other Trending Worship Issues


Listen Later

Thom and Sam examine long-term trends in corporate worship services. Some of the data surprised them. You might be surprised too.

    • The overall trend is toward expressive worship.
        • Raising hands and speaking in tongues.
            • The return of the bulletin?
                • Are worship services getting longer?

                                • Did you know that fewer than 20% of Southern Baptist pastors have a bachelor’s degree?
                                • That is according to a past Pew Research study.
                                • How can this be combated and how can we prepare our churches for the future?
                                • California Baptist University has a solution.
                                • CBU offers a full breadth of courses through its online degree programs.

                                  • Provide you with the skills and knowledge to make a difference in the lives of others.
