Church size is one of those topics everyone tiptoes around. If you're at a smaller church, it can feel like you're always playing catch-up; if you're at a bigger one, it can feel awkward to talk about resources without sounding like you're bragging. In this episode, Matt sits down with two pastors living out very different realities: Alex Janzen, lead pastor of Community Bible Church in Mountain Lake, Minnesota (congregation of 20-25), and Brent Warkentin, lead pastor of Ridgepoint Church (congregation of 1,200). Rather than avoiding the "elephant in the room," they name it head-on and dig into the honest pros and cons of leading at either end of the spectrum, how discipleship happens differently at scale, why numbers are the easiest thing to measure but not the most important, and Brent's challenge to the assumption that bigger churches automatically produce more life change.Alex offers a memorable picture of what smaller churches gain from staying connected to larger ones, not by copying them, but by learning to use tools and techniques big churches have the resources to develop and test first. Both pastors close with hard-won wisdom for leaders of any size: don't wear someone else's armor. Whether you're leading 25 people or 2,500, faithfulness looks the same — listening to God, leading from where you are, and trusting He didn't make a mistake putting you there.

Smith Mountain Lake July Fishing Report: Low Water Bass Fishing, Grass Carp & Big Bait TrendsOn this episode of Fishing the DMV, I'm joined by Billy Kohls of Smith Mountain Lake Guide Service for a full Smith Mountain Lake July fishing report and deep dive into summer bass fishing on Smith Mountain Lake. If you're looking for the latest on Smith Mountain Lake bass fishing, Virginia bass fishing, low water bass fishing, and how to catch largemouth bass and smallmouth bass during tough summer conditions, this episode is packed with information.Billy breaks down the current Smith Mountain Lake water level, why the lake is still very fishable, which areas are most affected by the low water, and how anglers should safely approach boat ramps, main-lake channels, pockets, docks, and offshore structure. We also discuss how the low water, cooler spring, and fluctuating conditions have impacted the bass spawn, bluegill spawn, shad spawn, fry guarders, and overall summer bass patterns.From there, we get into the actual fishing. Billy explains how bass are setting up around docks, points, brush piles, bluegill beds, offshore structure, deep water, and schooling areas. We talk about key July bass fishing techniques like drop shot fishing, topwater fishing, big worm fishing, deep crankbait fishing, dock fishing, brush pile fishing, and offshore bass fishing. Whether you're fishing a tournament, planning a summer trip to Smith Mountain Lake, or just trying to understand how bass adjust during low-water conditions, this report gives you a solid game plan.We also cover the ongoing Smith Mountain Lake grass carp and aquatic vegetation debate, including the latest update on the reduced grass carp stocking number and why angler involvement may have helped protect important bass habitat. Billy shares why aquatic grass matters, how grass impacts bass fishing, and what anglers should be watching for moving forward.Toward the end of the episode, we dive into one of the hottest trends in bass fishing right now: hairy ball baits, dice baits, urchin-style baits, JDM bass baits, and forward-facing sonar bass fishing. Billy explains why these weird-looking baits are catching big bass, how they can be used around docks, brush piles, suspended fish, bluegill patterns, and open water, and why they are not just a forward-facing sonar bait.If you fish Smith Mountain Lake, follow Virginia bass fishing, love summer bass fishing reports, or want to stay ahead of new bass fishing trends like dice baits, urchin baits, and offshore sonar fishing, this is an episode you do not want to miss. Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com Check out Billy Kohls website at:  Smith Mountain Lake Fishing Guide https://www.smithmountainlakefishing.com/about   Check Billy out on Instagram down below:   https://www.instagram.com/billy_kohlsfishing/ Check out Billy Kohls YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@billykohlsfishing3697 LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/  Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/  Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech  Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168    Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Support the show

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV revisit in old episode from a couple years ago that is extremely topical sense. The invasive Alabama Bass was found in Smith Mountain Lake this past week!! I have the privilege to head to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources headquarters in Richmond to discuss the invasive Alabama Bass problem. The Alabama Bass represents a tremendous threat to Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass fisheries. Alabama bass negatively impact smallmouth bass by outcompeting them for resources, hybridizing with them to the point of replacing the native species, and creating fisheries with smaller adult bass. Links are below to all the information discussed along with social media platforms for the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.   Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!!https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com To Report an Alabama Bass please call: 804-367-1000 or email at: fisheries@dwr.virginia.gov Alabama Bass Information resource: https://dwr.virginia.gov/wildlife/fish/alabama-bass/  Virginia Department of Wildlife Resource YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@VirginiaDWR  Virginia Department of Wildlife Resource Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VirginiaDWR?mibextid=LQQJ4d Virginia Department of Wildlife Resource Instagram:https://instagram.com/virginiawildlife?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Virginia Department of Wildlife Resource Website: https://dwr.virginia.gov/fishing/ Fishing the DMV YouTube Channel:          https://youtu.be/n3c-CFvmpFg Places you can listen to Fishing the DMV Audio version:           https://www.buzzsprout.com/1893009 Fishing the DMV Instagram page:          https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link  #FishingtheDMV #fishing #bassfishingSupport the show
