    When to search for a new preacher

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Could your congregation hurt its next preacher by starting the search too soon? What if the most important part of choosing a new preacher isn't finding him—but saying goodbye to the old one? Why do so many churches struggle with a new preacher, even when they've chosen an excellent man? What does the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus teach us about changing preachers?

    How should members leave a church?

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Leaving a church is one of the most emotional transitions Christians face, yet few of us have ever been taught how to do it well.  In this episode, I share painful examples of departures that damaged congregations, biblical principles that point to a better way, and practical ideas for leaving with grace, gratitude, and peace.  Whether you're moving across the country, changing congregations, or helping someone through a transition, this conversation may change the way you think about saying goodbye.  After all, often the best way to begin well somewhere new is to end well where you are.

    A new preacher won't fix it

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Are you aware that many Christians think the next preacher will be the answer to fixing all the problems in the church?  He begins. The sermons are inspiring, enthusiasm is high, and expectations soar.  But before long, disappointment often sets in.  Why does that happen so consistently?  In this episode, we explore a biblical principle that's both challenging and liberating: Jesus never intended one person to carry the church.  Discover why healthy churches grow when every member embraces their God-given role—and how that single mustard seed of truth can transform the way you view your congregation.

    Special time with grandchildren

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie A conversation in 1988 planted a mustard seed that blessed our family.  As a result of a story told by Grover Hastings, Gail and I’ve taken each grandchild on a special trip when they turned twelve years old.  Every destination, every restaurant choice, every adventure revealed something unique about that grandchild—and taught us lessons we never expected to learn.  In this episode, I'll tell the story of these unforgettable trips, the rule inspired by a request to visit Jerusalem, and why some of our family's most treasured memories began with one simple idea from a friend.

    The friendliest church I've ever seen

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie What if the secret to turning around a struggling, "cold and unfriendly" church wasn’t a new program, more sermons, or leadership changes—but a widow with a folding table and a heart for hospitality?  In this episode, discover how Cricket Veal’s simple monthly meals transformed relationships during one of the toughest seasons in the church’s history.  Her story reveals profound lessons on love, connection, and what real friendliness looks like—lessons every Christian, elder, preacher, and church needs today.

    Who selects leaders in the church?

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Who really selects church leaders— the elders, the preacher, or the congregation?If the apostles trusted the whole church to pick the first special servants, why do so many elders today hand-pick their own replacements?Does your church follow the Bible’s pattern… or just the tradition that feels safest for those already in power?What if the Holy Spirit works through the entire church to identify elders and deacons, not just through the current leadership?“Leaders select leaders” sounds efficient— but is it actually biblical?As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
