In this episode, we’re taking a time out for a heart check.

While we are committed to teaching proven strategies for successful small church ministry, we also know how easy it is to become so focused on doing ministry that we neglect our own walk with Christ.

Don’t let the busyness of ministry draw you away from the very reason we’re all here, to begin with. Take a slow, deep breath and consider if it’s time for a little rest and reconnection with Jesus.
