Description

In this episode we discuss...

• our five points on why rural churches matter.
  1. Enjoying the flock is a gift from God.
     • Deepens your love for the flock.
       • Romans 12:15-16 - 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
     • Deepens the flock’s love for you.
     • May extend your ministry.
  2. You need to build some margin into your schedule to do fun things with people.
  3. Get started by learning what people like to do. Take interest in them!
     • Have deeper conversations than, "How's the weather?"
     • Don’t talk about the things you like.
     • Don’t talk about things you’re most comfortable with.
     • Helpful verbiage: "What do you do when you’re not working…How’s your soul…What’s your testimony?"
  4. It’s ok to have real fun at church functions!
  5. Find joy in being all things to all men.
     • Not competitive? Get over it!
     • Don’t like to be in the woods? Psshhh.
     • Bored watching NASCAR? Fuggedaboudit!
     • Find your joy in helping other people have lots of fun.
