The Pastorate Podcast Daniel Im on Pastoring In Times of Deep Loss, Becoming the Pastor of a 100+ Year Old Church, and The Four Types of People In Your Church
The church growth movement of the 20th-century has left a lasting impact on our perception of the Church today. What can we learn from its successes and shortcomings, and how can we move forward in the context of our post-everything society?
This week, Daniel Im from Beulah Alliance Church in Edmonton joins us on the podcast for a second time
Daniel shares about:
- His experience pastoring in the midst of deep loss
- Reflections on the transition into the Lead Pastor role of Beulah Alliance Church, a church with a 103 year history
- The value of surrounding yourself with people who can sharpen you and challenge you while you are in leadership
- His new book, The Discipleship Opportunity: Leading a Great-Commission Church in a Post-Everything World
We hope this conversation encourages and equips you as you serve those in your church and in your community.
