This is our final episode of Broken. Transformed. Restored. We published our first episode on February 1, 2021, after a very turbulent year. Many episodes were created during these two years and they coincided with many memories. We will continue our work under, "Faith In Action" which will launch on December 12, 2023. Thank you to our audience for making this podcast what it is! We give God all the glory and we are very grateful for this amazing opportunity!

One of the biggest issues we have in the church that prevents church growth is not loving one another. This is not only a necessity to foster an environment of growth, but a command as well. We discuss a few ways how to foster that love for one another.

Galatians 3:28 says we are all one in Christ Jesus. This yells us how God sees Christians and how we should as well. It also gives us an indication that this is the goal we want for our neighbors, for them to be one with us in Christ. We discuss some simple ways to help visitors feel welcome in our congregations.

If there is anything that we invest in less in our congregations than evangelism, it would have to be our corporate worship. This is one area where some investment could go a long way to church growth. Not only in the growth of visitors wanting to see how dynamic and good our worship is but also in encouraging our current members to engage in the worship and be happy & joyful in worshipping God.

Investing in evangelism is one of the main ways to grow your congregation. So often the idea of evangelism is forgotten or given to the preacher only. Investing in ways for the congregation to evangelize is a necessity if one wishes to help a congregation grow.

We have some big news! Some very exciting changes are coming and we are looking forward to sharing what is on the horizon! *Correction - December 12, 2023; not December 21, 2023*

In this episode, we start our breakdown of the 5 tips we discussed in the previous episode about church growth. Embracing our young people is not only a good idea for churches to do, but churches must do this to survive! We look at some ways to help us embrace our youth more in the church.

Growing a church numerically can be a hassle. I'm no expert on this topic, but I can give some tips based on what I've seen in my 7 years of ministry work in the pulpit.

What are some common phrases that you have heard growing up attending church (if you did)? Many come to mind, however, there is one that I wanted to address in today’s episode: “Remove all worldly thoughts.” This is a phrase often heard right before we are going to partake of the Lord’s Supper. I wanted to talk about this phrase and while I understand the thought behind it, we may need to relook at this phrase and see how sometimes our worldly thoughts may remind us more of why we need a Savior.
