To kick off Pastor's Appreciation Month, we sat down with Dr. Jim Shaddix to discuss questions like:

What brings you the most joy in pastoral ministry? What pastors have influenced you and why? How can pastors strengthen their preaching?

What are some common characteristics of struggling churches? Where do you begin if you recognize unhealthy patterns in your church? What do bumper cars and train tracks have to do with church health?

This week we are joined by Dr. John Ewart to discuss how to evaluate and address the health of your church.

What does the Bible say about spiritual warfare? What implications does spiritual warfare have on how we approach evangelism? How can pastors equip their church members to be more evangelistic? 

Join Chuck and Caleb as they sit down to discuss spiritual warfare, evangelism, and how pastors can equip their church members.

What is spiritual warfare? How do we recognize spiritual warfare in our life and ministry? How should we respond to spiritual warfare?

This week Chuck and Caleb sit down to discuss part one of a two-part series on this topic.
