We're gonna need some help


This week, we spoke with Laura Merril, Assistant to the Bishop and Director of Clergy Excellence for the Rio Texas Conference.

It's taking a toll on the health and wellbeing of our pastors, leaders and our churches. What can we do to take care of one another?

This week's episode is a conversation about what makes a good local church. We'll even consider if "good" is the right word to use. E28
