Pastor’s Café Q&A | Episode 26: Shifting Gears

In Episode 26 of "Pastor’s Café Q&A," hosts David Hanan, Ph.D., and Pastor Steven Kern explore how the choices we make in church—especially regarding worship music—can impact outreach and unity.

Music as a Stumbling Block or a Bridge: Could the musical style we use in worship become a stumbling block to outreach? How can we use music to bridge generational and cultural gaps rather than deepen them?

Leadership and Worship Choices: What steps can church leadership take to ensure that decisions about worship styles or cultural preferences do not alienate groups within the congregation? How can we prioritize unity over personal preferences without compromising biblical values?

Handling Disagreements in the Church: Whether it's about music, theology, or leadership, how can the church address disagreements in a way that fosters growth and reconciliation rather than division? What biblical principles can guide us in resolving conflicts?

Creating a Welcoming Church: How can the church become more aware of the ways we might unintentionally create stumbling blocks for new believers or outsiders? What practical steps can we take to ensure our church is focused on God’s mission rather than internal disputes?

Join us as we tackle these tough questions and explore how churches can navigate these challenges while staying true to their mission of love, unity, and outreach.
