EP 270 – Changes in Replanting with Together for the Bluegrass
I had the pleasure of catching up with the Together for the Bluegrass guys at a coffee shop in Louisville recently! Together for the Bluegrass is an online ministry provided by the Central Kentucky Network of Baptists.
In this conversation with special guests CJ Pearce and David Barron we chat about current trends in replanting, what’s on the horizon, and what makes us most hopeful. The discussion covers the need for church intervention at various levels—from local to national—and the importance of fostering relationships, handling conflict, and leading with a focus on biblical principles. Key insights include the role of spiritual renewal versus strategic solutions, the importance of raising up new leaders within local churches, and practical advice for managing conflict in church settings.
