Back to EpisodesEpisode 71: Shepherding a Small Church (with Shane House)
Description
Most of the churches in the U.S. consist of less than 100 members. What does it look like for a church of this size to thrive in Biblical discipleship? How do the pastors and elders of these churches respond to the burdens of their flock when they already feel discouraged and unequipped themselves? BCM exists to come alongside these pastors and believers to help strengthen the church through Biblical care and counsel.
On our most recent episode of the Soul Care Culture podcast, I am joined by Shane House, senior pastor of WhiteRose Fellowship in Bellevue, IL. In this conversation, you will hear how God brought Shane to pastor a small church in Illinois and how Shane eventually got connected with BCM.
Familiar with both the joys and challenges of pastoring a small church, Shane discusses the importance of relying on the support God has built into your life, trusting the faithfulness of your Savior, and humbling yourself before God and before your congregants to confess and embrace your constant dependence on the Lord.
We pray that through this episode you will be encouraged and a little more equipped to counsel your flock with conviction and hope.
