Episode Description

In this episode of the Disciple Making in Community podcast, host Ken Braddy sits down with Pastor Steven Ammons to talk about the unique strengths of the normative church—congregations of 50 to 150 members. Together they explore how strong theological teaching, a warm and welcoming environment for families, and authentic church leadership can help smaller churches thrive. The conversation dives into the value of intergenerational relationships, why churches don’t need gimmicks to grow, and how inviting younger generations into leadership strengthens the whole church. You’ll also hear practical discipleship strategies for engaging younger families through community and shared experiences. Whether you serve in a small church or lead a larger one, this episode offers encouragement and fresh insights for building healthy, disciple-making churches.
