Catalyst Voices - Danny & Steve, Greenwood, IN

September 25, 2009


I know, I know, you're supposed to keep your eyes on the road!  Here is a road trip video interview with Danny Anderson & Steve Rouse from Immanuel Church of God in Greenwood, IN...literally, "on the road!"  Hope you are encouraged...

Emmanuel ChurchDanny Anderson & Steve Rouse - Immanuel Church of God

If you were averaging 2,700 people AND $60K in tithes every week would you consider making significant changes to your church???  Now please, suspend your "it's not about numbers and not about money" response...we all know the right answer. 

Just pause and put yourself in the shoes of a pastor and leadesrhip team who senses the Lord leading in a different direction and follows in faith only to see their weekly attendance drop below a thousand and their HUGE tithe support fall away. 

It's not about numbers and not about money...but wow, it's so much easier to feel successful when both are flying high.  This is a glimpse into the story of two leaders on the front lines of ministry in Greenwood, IN making tough decisions about the "systems" in their church and moving towards the call they sense from the Lord.  it's never easy, but their faith is so encouraging...

Listen as Steve shares about the impact they've experienced from Andy Stanley's 2007 Catalyst "Systems" Talk and Danny shares about leading their church through recent changes...these guys are a blast to hang out with, really hope to see them again soon!
