Today we are sharing a conversation with pastor, professor, and author Matthew Kim about his new book “Becoming a Friendlier Church.” In this conversation, Matthew and Katy talk through why most churches perceive themselves as friendly even when that is not the felt experience of visitors, and how often minority groups have often been made to feel left out in church spaces.
