Unexpressed gratitude is perceived as ingratitude. In this episode, Andy Stanley and co-host Suzy Gray unpack one of the most overlooked leadership habits—expressing gratitude. Most leaders feel thankful for their teams but fail to say it out loud. And when we don’t express gratitude, people don’t assume we’re busy—they assume we’re ungrateful. But appreciation builds loyalty, strengthens culture, and fuels motivation far more effectively than paychecks or perks ever could.

Continuing our conversation from last week, Rev. Marshall Clack, the pastor of The Sanctuary of Pentecost church in Acworth (North Atlanta), Georgia, Rev. Brian Williams, and Rev. Kasey Sees discuss a variety of "small church" questions. How to present to potential visitors that this is a quality church? Does a video wall have benefits? As a pastor, how do you balance church responsibilities and family? What are good resources for: teaching new converts? guiding church planters? having quality music?Printed materials mentioned in this episode include:• "Following the Pattern" available at www.ApostolicGraphix.com (scroll down to the section "Apostolic Bible Studies" and use the right arrow to scroll to "Following the Pattern Bible Study"; the Spanish version "Siguiendo el Modelo" is also available)• "Visioneering" by Andy Stanley, an updated version is available at Amazon.com• "Small Church Essentials" by Karl Vaters, available at Amazon.com

This week on The Atrium Podcast, Judah is back! We kick things off by asking a big question: Is student ministry the same as it was eight years ago? Chad and Judah reflect on how culture, connection, and discipleship have shifted over the years — and what that means for leaders and students today.From there, we dive into a reaction to a clip of Andy Stanley teaching that our faith should be tethered to the event of Christ's Resurrection rather than the inerrancy of Scripture. That conversation naturally leads us into our final topic: Can we really trust the Bible? We unpack the reliability of Scripture and what it means for believers who want a faith that stands firm.Don't forget to share and tell your friends about another sensational episode of The Atrium Podcast!
