The other week I mentioned that discussing why people might now want to come back to any church let alone *your* church post pandemic will be difficult, especially if we include the chronically ill...

Can we mention one thing that may sting?

Sermon length

Now y’all mention this topic a lot and I regularly peruse the comments as I see people mention your preferences (usually very passionately).

Many mention that a good word needs to biblically sound and somehow that correlates to length

Are we ready for chronically ill?

If that’s the dividing line...and you’re wondering why people can’t enter in with your church...

And you can’t fathom sitting in church with your body engulfed in pain...but somehow someone has decided that they are arbitrarily marking depth with time? Listen. No.

Y’all will continue to argue sermon length until my Sky Daddy comes and rescues me from this place. I would love it for *once* if you could take your able bodied selves out of the center though and create different markers of success and growth.
