#117 – Thoughts on the State of the Church As We Start 2022 Into the Harvest

Andrew and Abi share their thoughts on the church as we start 2022:



⏵What trends do we see locally and beyond?

⏵What new challenges do we see on the horizon?

⏵How are we trying to meet those challenges?

⏵Are we optimistic or pessimistic about the church in 2022?



Our listener question for today's show is: "What are some best ways to stay encouraged and focused on disciple-making?"



We end with book recommendations for your new year.
