    153. Crossover Episode with Karl Vaters: The Church Lobby Podcasts

    Karl Vaters writes: How good is your church doing at greeting and keeping guests? If you’re like a lot of churches, you know you could do better. I talked with Desmond Barrett about how small churches can do a better job at reaching, welcoming, and keeping guests. Desmond is the author of Helping Small Churches Win Guests: Preparing to Increase Attendance, which is a short, but very practical book that pastors will find great benefit in. Desmond and I talked about: How to reimagine the church facility from the parking lot to the pewWhy sharing updates about facility improvements is attractive to guestsWhy so many pastors and church leaders resist doing what needs to be doneWhy “we just need to attract young families” is never the answerThe good news that new Christians are not looking for programs, they’re wanting to live on missionKarl's Books mentioned in the podcasts: De-sizing the Church Small Church Essentials
