Here is my posted review on iTunes – This is a podcast that I look forward to listening to each week. The content is always great and very often makes me think a bit more about my responsibilities as a pastor and leading our congregation and volunteers. I especially enjoyed listening to this episode (#370) regarding discipleship with Daniel Im and the 5 shifts in ministry. I’ll look forward to listening to this again.
This was a great podcast (#370). I am not on Itunes, so I do not know how to leave you a review there, but I was very impressed by your insight and your suggestions will make a big difference. I am looking forward to moving my church from destination to direction as we find ways to implement our Mission Statement (Make disciples). Thank you and please send me a copy of the book. Thank you.
I left you a review on itunes
I left a review on iTunes. I hope you are still giving out books. As a replanter I think Daniel’s book will be helpful as we rethink what discipleship looks like in our congregation.
No Silver Bullets caught my attention. Thanks!
I will share with my church.
