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

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.
