    First of all, I would like to thank you for each and every interview. You help us grow spiritually. Secondly, I would like to humbly ask that you do not interrupt the interviewees, because I notice that there is a constant tendency in interviews to interrupt the guest.

  • The most constructive Christian Leadership podcast

    I have been listening since this started and always look forward to every new podcast. I listen to a number of Christian podcasts and this is the most helpful due to the breadth of guests and the way topics are discussed. Ed and Daniel bring a spirit of humility to the issues facing the church today. It is refreshing in a time of polarization and polemics. Keep up the great work.

Jaclyn Jones on Why Church Members Drift Away From Giving (And How Pastors Can Turn the Tide)
Q: What practical steps can a pastor take this Sunday to improve donor retention?
Emphasize mentorship around nonprofit alignment with donors' identities, acknowledge donors' contributions, and foster a sense of belonging where donors feel valued and engaged in ongoing impact, not just within the church but in related causes as well.
Jaclyn Jones on Why Church Members Drift Away From Giving (And How Pastors Can Turn the Tide)
Q: How should pastors talk about generosity to avoid turning people off while still encouraging giving?
Leaning on spiritual leaders to guide generosity, extending beyond the church, and framing giving as a discipleship practice creates trust and shows donors that their contributions matter personally and within the community.
Jaclyn Jones on Why Church Members Drift Away From Giving (And How Pastors Can Turn the Tide)
Q: What is the Faithful Giving Project and what big finding surprised you the most?
The project showed that donors deeply connected to spiritual practices—especially prayer—were more engaged and gave more consistently; this relationship between faith and giving is robust and surprising in its strength.
Brad Hill on the Discipleship Deficit, AI Competitors, and Redefining Success in the Local Church
Q: What is the practical takeaway for church leaders in light of these trends?
Be adaptive, involve the next generation in leadership, and measure transformation in individuals as the pathway to healthy church growth.
Brad Hill on the Discipleship Deficit, AI Competitors, and Redefining Success in the Local Church
