Ep 040: How Excellence Looks Different In Small Churches, with Erik Reed

Jan 26, 2023
40:09

Karl Vaters interviews Erik Reed, a pastor in Nashville TN. This conversation is, surprisingly, based on a Twitter thread Erik wrote about how excellence in smaller churches looks different than it does in bigger churches.

Karl and Erik talk about

  • The dangers of small churches trying to imitate larger churches
  • The attractiveness of authenticity
  • The importance of investing our time and resources wisely
  • Examples of what small-church excellence actually looks like

Instead of pushing for the technical “wow” factor, we need to remember that people who come to a smaller church are looking for us to do the small, relational things well, so that’s where we need to put our energy.
