How a dying church comes back to life - Richard Coombs

In this episode  Leo spoke to Richard Coombs, Rector of St Matthew's & The Minster in Cheltenham, UK. Drawing on decades of ministry experience, Richard reflects on two church revitalisation stories, sharing what he learned about leadership, patience, prayer, and the slow work of gospel transformation. Questions answered in this episode How can a struggling church be revitalised without causing division? Why is Bible teaching the foundation of lasting church growth? What mistakes do leaders commonly make when trying to bring change? How should Christians handle disagreement within the church, particularly on difficult issues? Why does real gospel transformation often take much longer than we expect? The Bible Matters Podcast is funded entirely by the generous donations of its listeners.
