Drew Moore is my guest this week, and I’m so glad to have him on the podcast. Drew is the lead pastor of Canyon Ridge Church, a church in Las Vegas that has an incredible legacy. The founding pastor is my friend and friend of RLC, Mike Breaux (you can hear Mike on the podcast here). Watching Drew’s journey, I can say that I’ve learned so much from him about what it means to make disciples and I hope you’ll appreciate his insights too.

Drew and I talk about his journey becoming lead pastor, leading a church through a transition to a new direction, and practical ways to make discipleship simple for your church.

Special thanks to Serve.HQ for sponsoring this episode!
