In the previous episode, we published the first half of a conversation with Ernest Eby about welcoming seekers into churches. This week’s episode is a continuation of that conversation, with Ernest giving specific pointers both to those who are in the process of choosing a church, and to churches who want to be welcoming to newcomers.
