Podcast Episode 8. Becoming a Minimum Viable Church (with Tony Morgan)

Overview

If you've run a church for a short while, you'll start to see complexity creep into the life of the church. More people doing more ministries at more cost. But what if it didn't have to be this way? What if we could achieve a higher kingdom impact by focusing narrowly on a few things? In this episode, Lee Button speaks with Tony Morgan, the lead strategist of The Unstuck Group.
