About “The Last Service” Podcast: Over 4000 churches will close in America this year. Is that 4000 failures or 4000 faithful endings? What can we learn from their stories?
From Matt McGee: I got curious about churches that closed and would cold call pastors and leaders to learn what happened. Their beautiful and fascinating stories challenged my understanding of #church, #community, #failure, #success, #faithfulness, and more. This podcast is an attempt to share those stories.
