Church Fuel CEO, Ryan Wakefield, and Leaders.Church Co-Founder, Dick Hardy, dialogue on what pastors and church leaders should focus on as they head into the holidays. Their major focus is not only on Christmas invites but even MORE on getting those December guests to return for whatever you have planned for January.

Ryan is also giving away three high-value Church Fuel resources to any podcast viewer or listener who wants them. This is one of the best podcasts we’ve ever done with a theme of how we can make heaven more crowded.

Every church will eventually encounter conflict. It’s a tough but essential challenge for growth and unity. In today’s podcast, we have the privilege of speaking with Pastor Tim Barker, the South Texas Network Superintendent, who oversees more than 300 churches and nearly 1,000 pastors. With decades of experience, he understands how to lead through difficult times and handle conflict in a way that honors God. Pastor Barker shares practical, biblical steps to effectively resolve disputes, remove bitterness, and move forward in unity.

In this podcast, we talk with Leaders.Church member pastor Bobby Gourley, on the topic of Deconstruction in the Church. This discussion will clarify for many, what is good and what is bad about deconstruction. Pastor Bobby challenges all of us to seek God in the leadership of our churches. In doing so, we need to always separate what has become accepted practice (some good, some not so good) from what Jesus really says in His Gospel.
