127: What Makes a Church Grow? Lessons from Hope's Journey with Pastor Jeff Bills

As Pastor Jeff prepares to transition out of the role of Lead Pastor of HOPE at the end of June, we're speaking with him today about a few things he's learned along the way, specifically what makes a church well-positioned for growth. Take a listen!

NOTES:

• Quote from episode:
  • "Don’t even entertain the idea of separating yourself from your brothers and sisters, whether or not they agree with your opinions. Don’t assume someone is wrong or sinful just because they don’t believe what you do or don’t accept your perspective. That kind of thinking leads to division; every time we act that way, we teach others to do the same against us." - John Wesley
