Ep 054: 10 Surprising Stats That Prove Church Size Matters, with Brady Shearer

Karl Vaters talks with Brady Shearer, summarizing a report about church trends and church size.

Karl and Brady talk about those stats and what they mean for small church ministry, including:

• How stats don’t tell you a church’s story, but they can help you see things you might not otherwise pay attention to
• Good news about racial, age and ethnic diversity in churches over the last 20 years

Plus, Brady uses his technical skills from his work with Pro Church Tools, to help churches navigate the biggest time of change in the last 500 years, including huge recent shifts in the way social media promotes content that can be a big benefit to your church.
