How Several Church Leaders Became Their Own Church Consultant with Great Success

The Church Answers Podcast

Thom started noticing a trend several years ago. Many pastors and other church leaders were getting consultation training primarily to help their own churches. Thom and Jess look at this growing trend.

• • The origins of church consultation.
  • The origins of church consultation training.
  • Is there a biblical basis for church consultation?
  • What Thom learned about pastors who “accidentally” became a consultant for their own churches.
  • What Jess learned in his mentoring calls with pastors.
  • The key missing factor that this training addressed.
  • How does a pastor start? The least expensive is the book approach. We recommend “Autopsy of a Deceased Church: 12 Ways to Keep Yours Alive” and “Anatomy of a Revived Church: Seven Findings about How Congregations Avoided Death.”
  • Some have chosen the DIY approach with the Church Health Scorecard.
  • Some have chosen to become a certified church consultant.
