Welcome to Church Chat, the show where we have the conversations about ministry you wish you were having.
Today we're talking to Zach Guyton about revitalizing a dying church, leading people who are resistant to change, why calling is so important, how to build trust with the community, longevity in community impact, and the tension between in-reach and outreach.
Zach Guyton is lead pastor of Bethany Church in West Orange, NJ.
