What happens when keeping a church building open becomes harder than carrying out the ministry it was built to support?
This week, Tom and John discuss a CNN article about church closures and ask what lies beneath the headlines. Buildings hold memories of weddings, baptisms, friendships, and encounters with God. They also house food pantries, community gatherings, and places of welcome. Losing them matters.
But so does asking what we’re trying to preserve, and why.

The Most Awkward Season at Church
In this episode, John and Tom have an honest, and occasionally uncomfortable, conversation about money, generosity, tithing, and the language churches use when they talk about giving. Why does money make congregations nervous? Is generosity possible when finances are tight? Should every tithe go to the local church? And has the church done enough to earn people’s financial trust?
