Podcast Introduction

Welcome to the People Growth Discipleship Podcast: Don’t just grow your church grow your people. I am your host, Kendra Dublin, and I am here to discuss everything from the Holy Spirit to sanctification, community, and simple strategies with church leaders to grow the saints. Out of those topics, we segue into teaching shows so that we can honor Jesus' requests to make disciples. If that sounds edifying to your walk with Christ and your congregation, then tune in.
