Digital engagement strategies for churches are here to stay.

Church Discipline S1,E14

June 3, 2022 • 18 mins

The subject of church discipline causes many to be squeamish at best and hostile at worst. Why would a church that is about loving people seek to discipline its membership?

In this episode, Caleb and John discuss why this is so and how chur...
