The Church Lobby

Karl Vaters interviews church leaders about the important issues of faith and ministry.

It's called The Church Lobby because:

  • The church lobby is where the church meets and does ministry.
  • The church lobby moves conversations from the stage to the floor.
  • The church lobby is a good place to take the temperature of a church’s health.


Karl Vaters is the author of several books, including Small Church Essentials and The Grasshopper Myth. Formerly known as Can This Work In a Small Church?, this podcast primarily looks at church leadership from a small church perspective.
