The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

Heart, Head or Health? Why aren’t they coming? And how to pastor & challenge! - with Antony Barraclough

Antony Barraclough Season 3 Episode 46

Some of the recent discussions about the post COVID church attendance drop has focused on the issues of health.  But there are also anxiety issues, spiritual heart problems and an element of spiritual war where the devil whispers ‘it’s not safe to go to the place where the word of God is!’

We take an informal poll of ministers to find out what’s happening with their ‘return to church,’ plus discussion on whether it’s heart, head or health, and how to have conversations when it’s a problem of the heart. 

Senior Minister of St Matthews West Pymble and All Saints West Lindfield, Antony Barraclough has researched and published on ‘The Pen is a Few Sheep Short - the patterns and reasons for modern church attendance by committed Christians.’

Plus Stuart Starr urges Christians not to leave the last Tim Tam in the pack for someone else, drawing a really helpful post COVID analogy!
