Ep. 95 A Bleak Church Growth Statistic [Responding to Thom Rainer]

Have questions or comments about this (or a previous) episode, give us a text!In this episode I respond to an article from Them Rainer, a church health consultant, about how many people an average church will lose in a calendar year. Spoiler alert: it's a bleak statistic. The fact that pastors know this, though, lends itself to a desire to use gimmicks and cheap tricks to just keep their church at replacement rate and not decline. Should the Church adopt a new model of growing? How does a local church even make that shift?Thom Rainer Article:https://churchanswers.com/blog/why-your-church-has-to-replace-32-percent-of-its-attendance-to-stay-even-each-year/Follow my ministry with InFaith by going to:https://www.facebook.com/DennisInFaithIf you have any questions or comments that you'd like me to address you can shoot me an email to [email protected] if you'd like to support my ministry with InFaith you can text the word "discipleship" to 41444 or head over to https://infaith.org/dennis-sutherby and give there. Theme Music:Overseas by Vlad Gluschenko | https://soundcloud.com/vgl9Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USSupport the show
