Healthy Church Podcast
208 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 days ago -The Healthy Church Podcast is an honest conversation about what it means to be a part of a healthy church. There are no perfect churches - because they’re all filled with imperfect people led by imperfect leaders.

As leaders we are called to reflect in good times of celebration and difficult times of challenge.

If you go to the m...
HCP - Ep. 99 - Church: Destination or Distribution Center
May 10, 2022 15:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MBHCP - Ep. 99 - Church: Destination or Distribution Center On this episode, Larry and Drew talk about how many churches focus on our services and locations instead of what we’re producing in our people. Even making disciples alone isn’t enough. We need to be making disciple-makers who make disciples. What if our focus, our goal, our efforts all led to our people becoming missionaries leaving and going on mission, not just returning so we can count heads? There is no such thing as the laity ...

On this episode of the HCP, Larry and Drew discuss elements from the book “How To Lead and Still Have a Life” by H. Dale Burke.

How are you doing in these areas of personal leadership? The 4 V’s of todays conversation are: Voice Values Vision They’re all grounded in Vital Relati...

HCP - Ep. 95 - Under EASTER Pressure
April 12, 2022 15:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBHCP - Ep. 95 - Under EASTER Pressure It’s EASTER week! Praise God for the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! But how quickly does our celebration take on pressures we were never intended to carry? As pastors, we stress out this week probably more than any other in the year. Is the lawn perfect, is the choir ready, will I preach the greatest sermon of my life, will we reach all who are in need of the Gospel? Can we just stop you there and say - it’s not on your shoulders!! On...

HCP - Ep. 93 - What Is Discipleship? (Part 1)
March 29, 2022 11:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MBHCP - Ep. 93 - What Is Discipleship? (Part 1) On this episode of the HCP. Larry and Drew discuss the topic of discipleship and creating a culture of discipleship in our churches. Jesus was clear in the great commission to “go and make disciples”, yet many churches and pastors don’t know how to define it, much less create a culture of expectation for our people to become disciple makers. Why is this not being done in our churches? Why is it so hard to help people to be formed into discip...

March 08, 2022 12:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBHCP - Ep. 90 - The “3 D’s” (Disappointment, Discouragement and Depression) You don’t have to lead in ministry very long in order to struggle with one of these 3 issues. As leaders we want to see God move in our people and grow in their faith. We want them to attend our events and participate in the mission of Jesus, but when they don’t (as much as you wish they would), you can get disappointed. Be careful not to let that disappointment lead to discouragement and ultimately depression. On t...

Many of our churches have “rehearsed” the service elements of the church and most would say they are “on mission”, but the big question is, are disciples being made? Are people being saved, baptized, and taught the things Jesus t...

HCP - Ep. 83 - Greenhouse Leadership Development
January 18, 2022 12:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MBHCP - Ep. 83 - Greenhouse Leadership Development On this episode, Larry and Drew discuss the Leadership “pipeline”. Are we as church leaders investing our time and experience into other leaders? To invest time or resources or anything at all requires sacrifice. Jesus fed the 5,000, but the little boy with the loaves and fish offered his lunch. For at least a moment, he had no lunch for the hope of what Jesus would do. What are you sacrificing right now with the hope that Jesus would do so...

December 29, 2021 00:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MBHCP - Ep. 80 - Year End Life and Ministry Evaluation It’s that time of year where we reflect on the previous year and consider the one coming up.

On this episode of HCP Larry and Drew discuss these ideas and some questions to ask to take an honest loo...

No, we’re called to first and foremost, rest in the grace and provision of God. “He doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called...

Characters like Gideon, Abraham, Moses, Peter, Paul and many more have questioned what God wanted to do based on their own calculations and judgements. The Bible tells us however that “HIs...

November 23, 2021 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBHCP - Ep. 75 - “The Nones” On this podcast of HCP, Larry and Drew discuss this ever increasing group of people who don’t want to be labeled as having any religion. How did we get here? Are we ministering to these people? Did we do something as church leaders to give rise to this group? In many ways we’ve gotten it backwards in the church. We preach to 100% of people in our services hoping 50% stick around, and pray that 25% will engage in serving, growing and going on mission. But what we ...

HCP - Ep. 72 - "Embracing Limits"
November 02, 2021 11:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBHCP - 72 - Embracing LImits This may seem hard to believe, but you CAN’T do it all. You can’t be the best at every role in the church. In fact there maybe some aspects of leadership that you absolutely stink at. That’s why we need each other. That’s why God has given us the body of Christ with different giftings and interest to help shoulder the work of ministry. But what many pastors and ministry leaders do is to try and keep control and they end up burning out, wearing down or worse, givi...
