Customer Reviews
Thank you for sharing your heart Steve!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now. I really enjoy hearing different voices share different angles and perspectives regarding small groups and leadership. I just listened to the latest episode of “Inside Saddleback” with Steve Gladen. He talked about “3 Areas for Your Groups to Shine in Today’s Culture.”
I just wanted to reach out and say what an amazing job you did Steve! I was listening to it on my walk this morning. I’m really not sure which part stood out the most to me but I was feeling it the whole way through.
Thank you for sharing your heart and experiences with us. And for saying some tough love stuff that needed to be said. Well done bro!!
Anyway. I hope this is encourages you to hear and know that you have encouraged me and many many others out there in small groups land. God bless Steve! Hope to see you again very soon
Fun & insightful podcast!
I love this podcast! It’s real, raw & informative regarding all things small group ministry! Host Carolyn Taketa is a small group master-sage & has an incredible ability to draw gold nuggets of wisdom out of her guests. The producer - Jason, seems like a real nice guy & I always like it when he appears at the end.
Great info!
