The Church Digital PodcastEP082: Stan Rodda, Tyler Sansom & the Different Flavors of MicrositesAs reports show COVID-19 is spiking, churches are starting to engage more and more with the idea of micro-locations as a short-term solution. It's important to notice that even with the idea of micro-locations, there's different ways these locations can look. The main difference really lies in the expectations of the volunteer leader.
The two extremes are basically the "Watch Party" and the "House Church"... two extremes that show what a distributed model of smaller churches can look like. Whether micro-locations fill a short-term need or solve a long-term problem makes a huge difference, and churches that...2020-06-251h 05TCD SidekickHow to Use Text Messaging for Your MinistryText messaging has always been an effective way for people to “market” and reach people.

The Stan Rodda Podcast061 - You Were Made To Make DisciplesThis conversation takes place on July 28, 2019. I had my friend and disciple maker, Jeff McDaniel, come and join me at New Life Linton Hall. Our goal was to give clarity to what it actually means to “make disciples.”We discuss very practically, some opportunities for everyone to take next steps in being a disciple who makes disciples. In many ways it boils down to these things:Experience Jesus personally!Abide in Christ daily through Scripture reading and prayer!Share your experience with Jesus with someone you know who doesn’t know Christ...2019-07-3100 minThe Stan Rodda Podcast060 - You Were Made To Follow Jesus!This sermon was recorded during New Life’s “Made” series. The big idea is simply, “You were made to be covered in the dust of your Rabbi.” The premise flows from a writing in Avot 1:4 in the Mishna. When we read the Bible with Western eyes, we miss the absolute beauty and brilliance of what God is up to and how it all fits together. Following Jesus is about far more than learning a few facts in a Bible study. It is about being completely covered in the dust from His feet because we are following Him so closely...2019-07-3100 min

Where church communications are fun, Instagram is life, and no one feels like an idiot.
Stan is a neat guy. His beard is epic. He is a campus pastor using digital discipleship on purpose as a strategy. Our discussion meanders into cage-fighting and the occasional karate demonstration, but most of the time we stay pretty fixed on how you can use the online world to drive the offline world towards Jesus.

One thing that surely is left to do is to communicate to your regular attenders as well as those outside of your church, about what it is that you have going on. You will want to invite them to an event potentially. You also have special stuff planned for Easter Sunday. Maybe new service times. You also have multiple ministries and opportunities for next steps. Whatever it is, you have to communicate it all effectively or run the risk of not being heard at all.2018-02-1900 minThe Stan Rodda Podcast053 - Lessons Learned Over 18 Years of MarriageMisty Rodda makes her way back onto the show this time to share some of the lessons we have learned over 18 years of marriage.

If you aren't developing leaders around you and preparing people to lead in ministry areas, then you are probably building your ministry around you and limiting your church to whatever you can accomplish. The most important part of leadership development is deciding to develop leaders. After that, it's all about putting it together.Matt Adair joins me from Athens, Georgia.

I decided to sit down and discuss the topic of caring for volunteers a little bit more with New Life's Online Campus Pastor, Tom Pounder. He shares some of his insight into leading volunteers for more than just an outcome, but also because we care for them as image bearers of God. Leaders want the best for their volunteers, not because it's good for the leader, but because by it we help volunteers live out the passions God has hard-wired into them.2017-09-0400 minThe Stan Rodda Podcast039 - Extreme OwnershipI recently finished reading, "Extreme Ownership - How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin.

The Stan Rodda Podcast033 - Ministry That LastsIt's a somewhat common story. A leader gets discouraged in a ministry. The thoughts occurs that it's time to move to another place.
