Guest Ted Kober, Senior Ambassador with Ambassadors of Reconciliation, talks about what a healthy congregation looks like, why anyone would want to research that topic, and what is common among unhealthy congregations. He also talks about how Bible literacy plays a part in the health of a congregation and how American Christians differ from other Christians. Ted gives some tips to learning about your congregation’s health and how forgiveness and reconciliation play a role in moving forward.
