In this episode, Carey Nieuwhof breaks down four distinct communication styles typical of dying, stagnant, shallow, and growing churches. He also gives you the tools you need to break out of a rut to become a more powerful and effective communicator. The #1 factor people look for in a church is the quality of the preaching.
