#117 – Thoughts on the State of the Church As We Start 2022

Description

Andrew and Abi share their thoughts on the church as we start 2022:

⏵What trends do we see?
⏵What new challenges are on the horizon?
⏵How are we trying to meet those challenges?
⏵Are we optimistic or pessimistic about the church in 2022?

Our listener question for today’s show is: “What are some best ways to stay encouraged and focused on disciple-making?”

We end with book recommendations for your new year.
