Ep. 96: How to effectively engage your community as a minister

How do you engage your community as a minister? What are you like at neighborhood gatherings or on social media? Are you always spiritual, offering Pastoral advice and thoughts or are you a regular guy? It’s a question all ministers must decide how they will answer. If there is anyone Tom knows that knows how to engage the community effectively, Stan Rodda is one of the best at it. Stan Rodda is the Linton Hall Campus Pastor at New Life Christian Church in Northern VA. Stan also blogs and podcasts regularly about leadership in ministry and in business.
