Today on "Karl and Crew," we concluded our weekly theme, “Sticking with It When.” Karl Vaters joined us to discuss why the health of a church should not be measured by size alone, and how small churches can thrive in terms of faithfulness, impact, and community. Karl has dedicated over 40 years to small-church ministry and creates resources to help these smaller congregations succeed. We also welcomed Ed Cannon, who spoke about the Far EastBroadcasting Company (FEBC) and its use of radio and digital media to spread the hope of Jesus in hard-to-reach areas. This effort fosters trusted relationships with listeners around the world. Ed serves as the President and CEO of FEBC. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
