Rob and Ted sit down with Brian Bell of Calvary Murrieta to talk through what church leadership looks like in a generation that looks very different from the one before it. They cover the real challenges pastors are navigating today, such as declining attendance, the grip of club sports on midweek schedules, and a broader cultural drift that has made shepherding a congregation more demanding than ever. They each share how they've adjusted both their mindsets and churches' approaches, and together offer some grounded, practical thinking for leaders facing the same pressures. --- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calvary Vista ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reliance Church⁠⁠ Calvary Murrieta

It's a candid and encouraging conversation for anyone invested in the health of their church community. ---- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calvary Vista ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reliance Church⁠ ⁠Watersprings Church

In this episode, Ted and Rob sit with down pastor Ty Orr of Watersprings Church to discuss what it looks like to foster culture of love in your church.

In this episode, Ted and Rob dive into the true purpose of the church as more than a place we attend, but as community we actively build together. We talk about how God equips each person with unique gifts and how those gifts are revealed and refined through serving others.
