Two diametrically opposed approaches to where to put church resources - getting new people or taking care of your current membership. Some churches take a side…. Aron and Mark hash it out - and meanwhile announce some BIG news!!

Standard Podcasts [40:00m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download | Embeddable Player | Hits (19)Not only is this a title of a great song by the band, Foreigner (circa 1977), it is also a terrific podcast in which Aron and Mark thoughtfully discuss both being a first time visitor and what churches should be mindful of if they have a first time visitor in their midst. It seems like a simple and common enough occurrence, but somehow there are strange and awkward misconceptions on both sides of the experience…
Have we entered a market-friendly attitude at church? Where is the line between raising money for ministries and creating a marketplace in our churches lobby, fellowship hall or narthex? Jesus reacted strongly to the marketplace in the temple - calling to make the church a “House of Prayer for all the nations…” Have the church gone wrong or are we on the right track? Mark and Aron toss around a few ideas on the topic… join the conversation (http://www.markandrewpope.com)
You’ve probably been to a funeral or two… you might have even planned one… What goes into a funeral? Why do we do them? Aron and Mark discuss funeral planning and other observations about this occasion…
I have finally come through with my 1 song a month for January and February! Both of those songs and more are posted at: www.markandrewpope.com for FREE download. I hope that you’ll download them, share them with your friends and play them loudly in public. That would be great!!
Ok - there’s not actually a “PopeCast Wedding”. Aron and Mark and both happily married to their respective spouses. However, Mark, having experience with many weddings as a church staff member and Aron, who has been a “lay person” involved with his friend’s weddings, they have quite a few opinions about weddings. This podcast doesn’t really talk so much about marriage (although how can you avoid the topic completely?) But, the traditions and pomp and circumstance around the wedding ceremony itself is discussed.
Aron and Mark have some pretty strong feelings about sermons (or whatever your church/denomination/sect may call them). Listen to see if you agree…
