Church attendance is shrinking, pastors are harder to find, and the effectiveness of the Great Commission seems to be fading. So, what’s really causing the decline of the church—and more importantly, how do we fix it?

In this episode, Pastor Aaron and Pastor Scott tackle the hard questions:

🔹 Why are fewer people attending church?

🔹 Is there a leadership crisis in ministry?

🔹 Why are seminary students less prepared than before?

🔹 What is the most effective approach to discipleship today?

The decline of the church isn’t just a numbers issue—it’s a discipleship issue. The first step in rebuilding the church starts with making true disciples who disciple others. Join us for this eye-opening discussion as we explore real solutions to strengthen the body of Christ.
