- Microphone
Your microphone volume has been low for many months. The ad volume was high and clear in comparison. I’ve had trouble listening and the content is wonderful. I want to hear it better. Thanks and blessings

Powerful, practical, and biblical wisdom to lead any church no matter the size. I’m a music leader for my local, small church and these conversations and suggestions will build your knowledge, your humility and encourage you. Just Wonderful! Every church should use this tool and resource.

Karl is a gift to small church pastors. I’m sorry to say I didn’t catch this from the beginning, but now I get to binge 2 months worth at once. That means more great moments like Darth Vader wielding a dog brush. Lots of guys have been championing small church over the last 5 years, but Karl was the original. Thankful God has enabled him.
Apple Podcasts5Apostle84United States5 years ago - So needed!
Karl Vaters has his finger on the pulse of a small church. Make sure to check out his book The Grasshopper Myth. Changed my view of what the small church is. Great stuff!
Apple Podcasts5Pastor James TurnesUnited States5 years ago - Finally!
This is great. I love the premise. Big churches are good and have their place, but solutions for a big church and a small church are different. Thank you for making this.
