Josh and Sam share some of the lessons learned from being new pastors at a church. What are three things you don’t want to do? Don’t attempt to change everything. Don’t start with a heavy or gimmicky sermon series. And don’t “clean house” with the leadership structure. They share why these three items are off-limits early in a pastor’s tenure.
