And so in this podcast, you’ll learn about five small church beliefs that I continually encounter - and you’ll also learn why each of these beliefs is actually a myth, because all five of them are demonstrably untrue.

Simply stated, there’s one thing you should be focusing on more than anything else. It isn’t more extravagant lighting or stage design. And it isn’t a haze-filled auditorium. In fact, this one thing couldn’t be more different from those types of aims. The best part? We’ve actually got real data from churches on how this one thing makes a difference.
