As we come to the end of our ten-part series based on De-sizing the Church, we’re highlighting portions of conversations Karl Vaters had with five church leaders from various backgrounds about their first reactions to reading the book.
- Drew Dyck (author and editor) talks about the dangers of Christian celebrity.
- Peyton Jones (author and church planter) discusses how churches operating under the church growth paradigm are more likely to be in decline than growth.
- Greg Atkinson (author and church consultant) highlights the importance of broadening our understanding of church size and health.
- Stan Givens (pastor) comments on the importance of churches working together, and the essential role of discipleship.
- Sean Nemecek (author and soul care coach) looks at the high rates of burnout due to chasing numbers, and digs into the revivalist history of the Great Awakenings.
