Steve Robinson joins “The Stetzer ChurchLeaders Podcast” to talk about how church leaders can foster a culture of serving in their churches, raise up new leaders, and help people discover their giftings.

Last week, Dr. Rebecca McLaughlin joined us to talk about how church leaders can respond to common arguments that use the Bible to affirm same-sex relationships. She also discussed the “why” behind God’s design for marriage and the “beautiful and glorious vision” Christianity has for friendship. Check out our conversation with her here:
