The Small Church Ministry Podcast 128: You Can’t Be Well, If You Don’t Love Well: Church Health & Loving Others
If asked to describe the church today, many people might not put “loving” at the top of their list.
In this episode, we’re unpacking why this is and what we can do about it.
For many churches, our efforts to do more, serve better, and meet our program goals result in neglecting the very people we’re trying to love. The best tools, strategies, and ideas only go so far.
If we’re not loving well, all the effort in the world has minimal lasting impact.
Listen in to hear:
- Signs that what is normal in your church might need some repair and restoration
- How to know if “constructive criticism” is actually constructive and if “speaking the truth in love” is actually loving
- That our intentions to love others don’t always match the impact of our effort (& why this matters so much)
- Why Jesus’ most overlooked response to the rich young ruler should be our norm too
