Reinventing Church: Focusing on Authenticity, Love, and the Gospel
Sustainable church growth is built on the foundation of authenticity, love, and dedication to the teachings of the gospel. Churches must create an environment that nurtures and supports believers in their spiritual journey, fostering a sense of belonging and unity within the community. On the Eyes on Jesus podcast, Tim Ferrara and Drew Barker stress the importance of maintaining focus on the teachings of Jesus, ensuring church activities have substance and are grounded in faith. They also discuss the need for churches to provide an environment distinct from the world, accentuating the supernatural power of Jesus’ love that permeates lives and transforms hearts.

How Far is Too Far: Limits of Creativity in Church Productions and Events
Creative programming and events can help attract interest in the church and communicate the message of the gospel in a fresh, compelling way. However, there are limits to creativity, and churches should avoid indulging in activities that may be perceived as controversial or uncomfortable by the congregants. Ultimately, churches should prioritize people over metrics and make intentional, spiritually anchored decisions about their programming.
