In this episode, Scott & Micah discuss some of the feedback from the last episode on COG & COG Affirm. We then begin to talk about the challenges of Church Staffing and some steps to help assemble a team that will propel the effectiveness on the administrative side of the Church.
On May 26th, The Church of God (Anderson, IN) put out a post detailing that all official COG correspondence will come from official emails and social media sites and to not be swayed by any other groups claiming to be the Church of God.

In this episode, Scott, Micah, and guest Jordan Halstead discuss who COG Affirm is, did the weak communication from The Church of God, gives more publicity to this group (and others), and what COG does now moving forward (if anything).
