In Part 1 of the Church Trends series, J.P. Pokluda and Gabrielle (Brie) McCullough of Harris Creek Baptist join Carey to talk about church trends for 2024.  They discuss why the stable church is disappearing, how to deeply engage the new core of your church—Millennials and Gen Z—and why the old approach doesn't work anymore, the role of serving, giving and confession in discipleship, and the new breed of today's megachurch pastor.    Show Notes Free 2024 Church Trends Team Guide On The Rise Newsletter Preaching Cheat Sheet Watch on YouTube Follow @careynieuwhof Follow @theartofleadershipnetwork   This episode is sponsored by: BELAY You don’t have to do it all to be a good leader.
