Here's the deal, most of, if not all, of the previous guests on the podcast were megachurch pastors. I thought for sure they had me confused for another pastor, perhaps they thought I was the pastor of Church on the Move (an actual megachurch in Tulsa, OK) rather than author of Church on the Move (an actual book published by Judson Press). I thought, well at the very least this will be fun when they realize I am not who they think I am.
I scheduled the interview with low expectations. But I gotta tell ya, the interview was amazing. The interviewer, Frank Barry, did not know who I was or why he was interviewing me (nor did I), but he trusted his staff! We had a delightful conversation, I think Frank really got my approach to local church ministry.
After the podcast I contacted the production staff at Tithe.ly and asked how they found me and picked me (for which I am truly grateful). My selection was nothing more than a chance encounter/recommendation on Amazon. Friends, your Amazon reviews mean something (even if you bought the book directly from Judson Press or a local bookshop).
So if you have a moment, write a review of Church on the Move (the book, the one authored by me - yes there is more than one book with this title). And then go and write a review of a book your friend or your pastor or your favorite professor or your favorite poet or your novelist wrote!
