In this episode of What Your Pastor Really Thinks, Pastors Ryan McBride, Matt Wolf, and Drew Tarwater tackle a surprisingly hot topic: Summer Church. Is church really ”out for summer”? From dwindling attendance to camping weekends, they explore the rhythms, frustrations, and opportunities that arise when warm weather and worship collide—especially in Colorado, where the mountains beckon every Saturday morning.
The pastors candidly share how their churches adapt through creative scheduling, outdoor services, online worship options, and community events like Whitewater Festival and Blossom Fest. They also discuss how habits around church attendance affect spiritual health—and why consistency matters for families and pastors alike.
Whether you're a pastor preparing for the June slump or a churchgoer tempted to ”take the summer off,” this episode offers real talk, practical tips, and a few good-natured rants to keep your faith rhythm strong all summer long.
